Abstract

As vibration based condition monitoring requires a good understanding of the dynamic behaviour of the structure, a good model is needed. At the TU Delft a train borne monitoring system is being developed which currently focusses on crossings. Crossings are prone to very fast degradation due to impact loading. In this paper a finite element model of a free floating frog is presented and validated up to a 100 Hz using dynamic impact measurements. The mode shapes of the free floating frog are then also compared to some preliminary results from an in-situ test. This comparison shows that the in-situ frequencies can be up to twice the free floating frequency.
