EN 15461:2008+A1:2010 (E) 4 Introduction The interaction between the wheels of a railway vehicle and the track during operation is translated by vibrations which, in movement, generate rolling noise.
The vibration response of the track structure determines the level of its sound contribution to this noise. The method assumes that the vibration waves in the rail can be regarded as the superposition of two bending waves, one vertical and the other transverse, of the rail represented as a simple beam.
Although the track rail does not behave in this way over all the frequencies covered by the measurement, this simplification permits the "decay rates" to be measured for an estimation of the dynamic behaviour of the track which is one of the basic parameters influencing the generation of rolling noise. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for characterizing the dynamic behaviour of the structure of a track relative to its contribution to the sound radiation associated with the rolling noise. This European Standard describes a method for: a) acquiring data on mechanical frequency response functions on a track; b) processing measurement data in order to calculate an estimate of the vibration decay rates along the rails in an audible frequency range associated with the rolling noise; c) presenting this estimate for comparison with the lower limits of the decay rates. It is applicable for evaluating the performance of sections of reference tracks for measuring railway vehicle noise within the framework of official approval tests. The method is not applicable for characterizing the vibration behaviour of tracks on loadbearing structures such as bridges or embankments. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

ISO 7626-1)
NOTE 1
In this document, the term also refers to the mean spectral amplitude of the FRF in the form of a one-third octave spectrum. NOTE 2
In this standard, the term frequency-response function (FRF) is used to refer generically either to accelerance (accelerometric response/excitation force) or to mobility (speed response/excitation force). The term is not used to refer to receptance (dynamic compliance).
NOTE 3 The FRF is generally calculated as the interspectrum ratio between the response and the force with the autospectrum.
This estimate of the FRF is called estimate H1. NOTE 4 A set of FRF between a single excitation point and multiple response points or even between a single response point and multiple excitation points may be used.
In this standard, the case of a fixed accelerometer and a mobile instrumented excitation hammer is the easiest to implement.
3.2 accelerance complex ratio of the acceleration at one point in a mechanical system to the force at the same point or at a different point during a single harmonic motion (see also ISO 7626-1 and ISO 2041)
NOTE
Accelerance is an FRF currently expressed as a narrow-band complex spectrum.
It is also used in this standard to express a one-third octave spectrum.
3.3 mobility complex ratio of the speed at one point in a mechanical system to the force at the same point or at a different point during a single harmonic motion (see also ISO 7626-1 and ISO 2041)
NOTE
Mobility is an FRF currently expressed as a narrow-band complex spectrum.
It is also used in this standard to express a one-third octave spectrum.
3.4 direct FRF, FRF at the point of application FRF for which the response is measured at the same position (as close as possible physically with an impact hammer and an accelerometer) and the same direction (see also ISO 7626-1)
NOTE
In this standard, the term refers both to force and response FRF in the vertical and transverse directions. 3.5 transfer FRF FRF for which the response amplitude is measured at a different position to the force application point
NOTE In order to define the FRF, the direction and position of the application force and the response should be mentioned.

The vibration waves with wavelengths that are smaller than the rail cross-section dimensions, such as the Rayleigh ultrasonic waves or the shear or compression waves in the material are not covered in the definition associated with the subject of this standard. 3.10 one third-octave band spectrum spectrum of the added squared values or the root mean squares of the FRF in each of the normal frequencies one-third octave band (see EN ISO 266).

Principles The decay rates are determined on the basis of an FRF at the application point and a certain number of frequency-response function measurements relative to the position on the rail of the excitation force application point (transfer function). An instrumented hammer shall be used to excite the rail. For the purpose of this standard, an accelerometer shall be fixed to the rail and the measurements shall be taken for various distances from the force application point in relation to it. The full set of FRF shall be measured in the vertical and transverse directions.
The decay rates of the vertical and transverse bending waves as a function of the distance shall be calculated on the basis of this set of FRF measurements. The stages of the test method are specified in the following subclauses. 6 Data acquisition 6.1 Selection of the test section The test section shall meet the following conditions: a) the constitution of the track shall be constant over the whole test section for all the parameters that could affect the decay rates. These parameters include the rail cross-sections, the stiffness of the pad beneath the rail, the cant of the rails and the space between the sleepers; b) the test section shall be fitted with long welded rails. Specifically, it shall not have any rail expansion joints. 6.2 Position of the accelerometers Within the test section, each position to which the accelerometer is fixed to the rail shall satisfy the following conditions: a) it shall be located inside the test section, at least 20 m from the centre of the test section; b) it shall be located at the median point of a space between the sleepers; c) the accelerometer shall not be located close to rail supports in an unusual condition; in particular:
1) there shall be no pumping sleeper less than 3 metres from the accelerometer position; 2) there shall be no missing or damaged fastening clip (or fastening of any other type, if necessary) on the supports directly adjacent to the measuring accelerometer position; 3) the accelerometer shall not be located less than 5 m from a rail weld;

EN 15461:2008+A1:2010 (E) 8 4) the accelerometer shall not be located less than 40 m from a rail expansion joint. Three measurements of the direct FRF shall be carried out at three potential accelerometer positions at least, compatible with the requirement of 6.2 c). If at least two of the FRF are similar, it can be regarded that these accelerometer positions are representative of the whole test section, and subsequently can be used for the rest of the measurements. If no accelerometer position is found in the first set of potential positions, others shall be sought, and their direct FRF verified, until a set is identified that does comply. NOTE If no accelerometer position is obtained with this procedure, it is probably because the structure of the test section is not sufficiently homogeneous to be characterized by a single decay rate spectrum. Therefore, another test section should be sought. 6.3 Assembly of the accelerometers The accelerometer(s) shall be fixed: a) in the vertical direction on a longitudinal axis of the rail, preferably on the rail head.
If this is not possible, it (they) should be fixed on the flange of the rail; b) in the transverse directi
