The paper deals with the investigation of some phenomena which are essential for dynamic interaction of a wheelset or bogie with the railways track. The track is modeled as discrete–continuous system composed of rails, fastening systems and sleepers interacting with ballast by means of viscous–elastic elements. Transient and stationary problems are investigated. The stationary periodic problems are connected with wave propagation in stopping bound, passing bound and mistuning. In this paper, a review of selected problems and exemplary results of simulation and experimental investigations is given supplemented by a few results of analysis and simulation.

The paper is devoted to the study of dynamical behaviour of railway tracks as continuous systems (rails) supported by periodically spaced sleepers and subjected to moving concentrated loads. Several cases of dynamical problems, where elastically supported beams are excited by a moving concentrated force, are considered. In particular, the study is focused on interactions with structure periodic in the space. Results on one-dimensional structures are extended to the case of a two-dimensional system. The problems of stopping bands, passing bands, and mistuning are also mentioned.

W niniejszej pracy rozważana jest stateczność ruchu układu złożonego ze strumienia gęsto rozłożonej masy (oscylatorów) oddziałującego sprężyście lub lepko-sprężyście z belką na podłożu Winkera (np. modelującej rurę). Układ taki może być uproszczonym modelem układu pociąg - tor lub modelem rurociągu, przez który przepływa ciecz (dla uproszczenia nieściśliwa).
