Track Modulus given Speed Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Track Modulus = (Speed of Train/(18.2*Speed Factor))^2
k = (Vt/(18.2*Fsf))^2
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Track Modulus - (Measured in Kilogram-Force per Square Meter) - Track modulus is the vertical stiffness of rail foundation.
Speed of Train - (Measured in Kilometer per Hour) - Speed of Train is the rate at which the object covers a specific distance.
Speed Factor - Speed Factor is a value which is used to change the static rail load to a dynamic rail load.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Speed of Train: 149 Kilometer per Hour --> 149 Kilometer per Hour No Conversion Required
Speed Factor: 2 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
k = (Vt/(18.2*Fsf))^2 --> (149/(18.2*2))^2
Evaluating ... ...
k = 16.7559775389446
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
164.320007132279 Pascal -->16.7559775389446 Kilogram-Force per Square Meter (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
16.7559775389446 16.75598 Kilogram-Force per Square Meter <-- Track Modulus

6 Speed Factor Calculators

Speed given Speed Factor
Go Speed of Train = Speed Factor*(18.2*sqrt(Track Modulus))
Speed Factor
Go Speed Factor = Speed of Train/(18.2*sqrt(Track Modulus))
Speed Factor using German Formula and Speed is above 100kmph
Go Speed Factor = ((4.5*Speed of Train^2)/10^5)-((1.5*Speed of Train^3)/10^7)
Track Modulus given Speed Factor
Go Track Modulus = (Speed of Train/(18.2*Speed Factor))^2
Speed using German Formula
Go Speed of Train = sqrt(Speed Factor*30000)
Speed Factor according to German Formula
Go Speed Factor = (Speed of Train^2)/30000

Track Modulus given Speed Factor Formula

Track Modulus = (Speed of Train/(18.2*Speed Factor))^2
k = (Vt/(18.2*Fsf))^2

What are the requirement of a good track?

(a) The gauge should be correct and uniform.
(b) The rails should have perfect cross levels. In curves, the outer rail should have proper super elevation to take into account the centrifugal force.
(c) The alignment should be straight and fiee of kinks. In the case of curves, a proper transition should be provided between the straight track and the curve.
(d) The gradient should be uniform and as gentle as possible. The change of gradient should be followed by a proper vertical curve to provide a smooth ride.
(e) The track should be resilient and elastic in order to absorb the shocks and vibrations of running trains.
(f) The track should have a good drainage system so that the stability of the track is not affected by waterlogging.
