Underpasses are common in modern railway lines. Wildlife corridors and drainage conduits often fall into this category of partially buried structures. Their dynamic behavior has received far less attention than that of other structures such as bridges, but their large number makes their study an interesting challenge from the viewpoint of safety and cost savings. Here, we present a complete study of a culvert, including on-site measurements and numerical modeling. The studied structure belongs to the high-speed railway line linking Segovia and Valladolid in Spain. The line was opened to traffic in 2004. On-site measurements were performed for the structure by recording the dynamic response at selected points of the structure during the passage of high-speed trains at speeds ranging between 200 and 300 km/h. The measurements provide not only reference values suitable for model fitting, but also a good insight into the main features of the dynamic behavior of this structure. Finite element techniques were used to model the dynamic behavior of the structure and its key features. Special attention is paid to vertical accelerations, the values of which should be limited to avoid track instability according to Eurocode. This study furthers our understanding of the dynamic response of railway underpasses to train loads.

Este trabajo se centra en el estudio de problemas aeroacústicos en los trenes de alta velocidad. Se han considerado dos escenarios en los que las ondas de presión generadas son críticos para el confort de los pasajeros. Uno es el debido a las ondas de presión que genera el tren cuando entra y sale de un túnel, que a su vez producen saltos de presión de baja frecuencia en el tren (cuando se cruzan con él) y en los alrededores del túnel cuando alcanzan la salida. Se estudia este fenómeno, y se propone un sistema aeroelástico basado en el galope transversal para disminuir la energía de estas ondas, y se analiza la energía extraíble de las ondas utilizando cuerpos con diferentes secciones transversales [Sorribes-Palmer and Sanz-Andres, 2013]. La influencia de la geometría de los portales en la energía radiada hacia el exterior de túnel es analizada experimentalmente, prestando especial atención a las boquillas porosas. Las ondas de presión en el interior del túnel se han analizado mediante el método de las características. Se han realizado ensayos experimentales para estimar la energía reflejada hacia el interior del túnel al alcanzar las ondas de presión el portal de salida del túnel. Se ha estudiado la formación e interacción entre el portal del túnel y la onda de choque generada en los túneles de gran longitud y pequeña fricción. Se propone un método para describir de forma aproximada el ruido radiado al exterior. Por otro lado se ha estudiado el ruido de media y alta frecuencia de origen aerodinámico. Se ha estudiado la influencia del desprendimiento de la capa límite sobre el tren. Se propone una metodología basada en una sección de tren característica para predecir rápidamente el nivel de presión de sonido dentro y fuera del tren para todo el rango de frecuencias. Se han realizado medidas experimentales en vía de los espectros de presión sobre la superficie del tren, y de la transmisibilidad de las uniones entre estructura y revestimiento. Los resultados experimentales se han utilizado en los modelos vibroacústicos. El método de la sección del tren característica es especialmente útil a altas frecuencias cuando todo el tren se puede modelar mediante el ensamblaje de diferentes secciones características utilizando el análisis estadístico de la energía. ABSTRACT This work is focused on the study of aeroacoustic problems in high speed trains. We have considered two scenarios in which the pressure waves generated are critical for passengers comfort. The first one is due to the pressure waves generated by a train entering in a tunnel. These waves generate pressure gauges inside the train (when they find each other) and outside of the tunnel portals. This phenomenon has been studied, and an aeroelastic system based on transverse galloping to reduce the energy of these waves is proposed. The maximum extractable energy by using bodies with different cross-section shapes is analyzed. The influence of the portals geometry in the energy radiated outwards the tunnel is analyzed experimentally, with particular attention to the porous exits. The pressure waves inside the tunnel have been analyzed using the method of characteristics. Experimental tests to estimate the energy reflected into the tunnel when the pressure waves reach the tunnel portal have been performed. We have studied the generation and interaction between the tunnel portal and a shock wave generated in long tunnels with small friction. A method to describe in an approximated way the pressure radiated outside the tunnel is proposed. In the second scenario, middle and high frequency noise generated aerodynamically has been studied, including the influence of the detachment of the boundary layer around the train. A method based on a train section to quickly predict the sound pressure level inside and outside the train has been proposed. Experimental test have been performed on board to evaluate the pressure power spectra on the surface of the train, and the transmissibility of the junctions between the structure and trim. These experimental results have been used in the vibroacoustic models. The low frequency pressure waves generated with the train during the tunnel crossing has been identified in the pressure spectrum. The train characteristic section method is especially useful at high frequencies, when the whole train can be modeled by assembling different sections using the statistical energy analysis. The sound pressure level inside the train is evaluated inside and outside the tunnel.

This paper aims to set out the influence of the flow field around high speed trains in open field. To achieve this parametric analysis of the sound pressure inside the train was performed. Three vibroacoustic models of a characteristic train section are used to predict the noise inside the train in open field by using finite element method FEM, boundary element method (BEM) and statistical energy analysis (SEA) depending on the frequency range of analysis. The turbulent boundary layer excitation is implemented as the only airborne noise source, in order to focus on the study of the attached and detached flow in the surface of the train. The power spectral densities of the pressure fluctuation in the train surface proposed by [Cockburn and Roberson 1974, Rennison et al. 2009] are applied on the exterior surface of the structural subsystems in the vibroacoustic models. An increase in the sound pressure level up to10 dB can be appreciated due to the detachment of the flow around the train. These results highlight the importance to determine the detached regions prediction, making critical the airborne noise due to turbulent boundary layer.
