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 …

Surfaces of the wheel and rail are largely affecting the operating efficiency of the rolling
stock and safe running. Wearing leads to uneven redistribution of loads from the wheelsets …

Wheel-rail contact is in the spotlight of Railway Engineering and its specific conditions are
highly dependent on railroad characteristics, such as load, speed, track design and …

The topical concerns in wheel-rail tribology are highlighted from a heavy haul railroad
perspective. The paper reviews experimental work carried out mainly over the last 12 years …

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of rotational speed on rolling wear and
damage behaviors of wheel/rail materials using a rolling–sliding wear testing apparatus …

The rolling wear tests of rail material were conducted under unlubricated condition using a
JD-1 wheel/rail simulation facility. The fatigue damage and wear behaviours of rail rollers …

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 …

The difficulties and expenses involved in field experiments on wheel-rail system wear forced
researchers to use, whenever possible, laboratory tests. The major problem in laboratory …
