Experimental procedures for testing the performance of rail dampers

Rail dampers work by increasing the attenuation with distance of vibration transmitted along the rail, a quantity known as the track decay rate. Currently, there are no standardized procedures to measure their effectiveness in reducing rolling noise without the need for in-track installation and tim...
