Simulation of the mechanical behavior of railway ballast by intelligent computing

Ballast is one of the main components of railway track foundations, thus, an accurate prediction of its mechanical behavior is crucial for stability of railway tracks. In this paper, one of the most commonly used intelligent computing techniques, i.e. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), is utilized t...
