This study reports on the tribological behavior of Indian rail track and wheel materials under
different contaminants. A pin-on-disc tribometer was selected for the experimental analysis …

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of contaminants on the
tribological behavior of wheel–rail contact. Sand, phosphate, sulfur, and cement were the …

The interaction between wheel-rail produced defects on each other. Many studies of wear
were done on interaction between the wheel-rail proposed using pin on disk tribometer. The …

Purpose–The aim of this study is to calculate the coefficient of friction of wheel/rail interface
in both water lubrication and dry friction conditions. Design/methodology/approach …

This study examines the relationship between generated airborne particles and wear rate in
the wheel–rail contact. The wheel–rail contact is experimentally simulated by using pin‐on …

The wheel-rail contact is a safety critical interface. Wear, particle emission and adhesion are
all wheelrail contact phenomena and are discussed here. All three phenomena are material …

Top-of-rail products are commonly used for friction modification in wheel-rail contact.
However, the effect of environmental conditions and contaminants on their performance …

The wheel–rail contact is a safety critical interface. Wear, particle emission and adhesion are
all wheel–rail contact phenomena and are discussed here. All three phenomena are …

A stretch of straight rail on the Jing-Hu railway in China has been suffering from
unacceptable levels of side wear. This phenomenon has not previously been investigated …

Friction modifier (FM) is a newly developed third medium to control the service performance
of wheel/rail. The wheel/rail performance is influenced by the wheel/rail contact conditions …
