Wheel/rail normal forces and axle box accelerations due to sleeper passing impacts: (a) maxima and minima of wheel/rail normal forces obtained at different vehicle speeds (Kpv = 200 MN/m and Cpv = 10 kN s/m); (b) comparison of the wheel/rail normal forces for rail pad damping 52 kN s/m and 10 kN s/m; (c) effects of rail pad damping on the axle box accelerations.
