description With the increase of axle weight and speed, the interaction between vehicles and the track becomes more and more intense, and the problem of wheel-rail dynamic action is more serious. In order to reduce the low-frequency vibration caused by train operation, a three-layer elastic track damping structure is proposed. The complex method is used to optimize the dynamic parameters, structural patterns, and coupling relations of the track structure, which allows multiple elastic units to work in harmony with each other to achieve the effects of absorbing vibration energy and reducing vibration transmission. Finally, a real size model experimental platform is set up to verify the dynamic parameter optimization results. The results show that the vertical mode of the main track system of the coupling-tuned slab damper-floating slab is 26.898 Hz close to the train excitation frequency, and the corresponding equivalent mass is 6074.53 kg. The amplitude of the vibration components in the 20∼40 Hz band can be reduced to 41.8% by using the complex method. The maximum insertion loss is about 10 dB, and the vibration of low-frequency band is not amplified.
