Title: Discovery of standing wave separation method inherent in railway track maintenance method and possibility for application to other engineering fields
Abstract:
Since ancient times, track maintenance work has used a method of measuring the deformation of track geometry with strings and calculating the displacement value for maintenance work.
Within this method, the existence of a special Fourier transform that separates arbitrary input data into a standing wave has become clear.
Based on this new finding, it became clear theoretically that the following advantages of the real track maintenance work can be obtained.
· Be able to derive the answer that guarantees the continuity of the track geometry without fail regardless of the measurement section.
· The influence of measurement error should concentrate 95% on the first to fifth standing waves.
· The components of the fluctuation (1/F^2 F:Frequency) remain in the track geometry after maintenance.
In addition, I would like to examine this possibility for applicability to other engineering fields.
