Original Abstract

The need to understand and predict the long- and short term behavior of railway ballast calls for extensive experimental programs as well as the development of reliable numerical models. From the modeling point of view, the granular nature of ballast in connection with the high onset speed of dynamic loading makes it ideal for the application of the Discrete Element Method (DEM).
