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 …

The present work involves laboratory investigations of rail-wheel wear mechanism under
rolling-sliding and pure sliding contact conditions. The results confirm some well established …

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 …

This paper describes the prevalent wheel and rail defects related to rail/wheel interface on
heavy haul lines, conventional and advanced materials that are used for rails and wheels …

The phenomenon of wear is one of the significant and reviewable topics in industrial parts
and equipments. Furthermore, with the increasing expansion of rail transportation industry in …

The wheel-rail contact is an open system contact, which is subjected to various
environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, water, and even leaves. All these …

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of hardness and contact stress on wear
and damage behavior of wheel and rail materials using a rolling-sliding simulation facility …

With the increase of train speed and axle load, wheel-rail is bearing ever heavier tribological
load and its wear becomes more and more serious. In this paper, the rolling tests were …

This research is aimed at predicting the rail gauge and wheel flange contacts and their
influences to wear rate using pin-on-disc method. A real model using a pin to represent a …

The wheel/rail contact is chracterized by high contact forces and small contact areas.
Although the standard of railway wheel has sustained, the damages of railway wheel have …
