The experimental research on the wears of wheel and rail has been carried out using a
large rolling-sliding contact test machine with the actual profiles of wheel and rail. Primarily …

The rolling wear and damage characteristics between three kinds of rails (U71Mn, PD3 and
PG4) and AAR-B wheel material were investigated using a WR-1 wheel/rail rolling wear …

The wear and rolling contact fatigue of wheel-rail materials were investigated through
varying wheel/rail hardness ratios (H w/H r) and creepages. The results indicated that with …

The key requirement to calculate the fatigue and wear levels of wheels and rails is to
establish a method that can accurately represent the wheel/rail contact stress. Wheel and …

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 …

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 …

This study presents the results and analysis of a laboratory investigation, of rail and wheel
wear under clean and dry tangent track conditions, utilizing the IIT-GMEMD quarter scale …

On a typical railway, trains travel using the friction between the wheel and the rail. Contact
pressure is generated between the wheel and the rail, and the magnitude of the contact …

The objective of this study is to construct wear mapping and transitions of wheel/rail
materials under different contact pressure and sliding velocity conditions by means of …

In the field of simulation of railroad vehicles, there are many numerical models to estimate
the interaction forces between the wheel and rail. The main advantage of these models is …
