In recent years, with the continuous improvement of train carrying capacity and speed, more
strict requirements are put forward for the service performance of rail steel. Bainitic steel has …

Bearing plays an important role in the engine and machines. The application of bearings in
engines and machines increases efficiency, performance, reliability, durability, and …

When it was first published some two decades ago, the original Handbook of Lubrication
and Tribology stood on technology's cutting-edge as the first comprehensive reference to …

In this study, the effect of surface defect on the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) of railway wheel
steel was investigated. Artificial defects with different dimensions were produced on …

With existing rail surface defects, third body mediums play an important role in the evolution
of Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF). This study investigates the effect of water mediums on the …

Surface dents may occur on both rail head and wheel tread and have a deep influence on
their microstructures. This investigation aims at exploring the microstructure evolution and …

Surface defects in different railway lines experience different wheel-rail rolling contact
actions owing to various railway line characteristics and vehicle operation parameters. This …

The tiny contact zone (approximately 1 cm2) where steel wheel meets steel rail is
fundamental to rail transport. This work is a comprehensive presentation of recent research …

Defects such as dents on the rail surface might induce severe rolling contact fatigue (RCF)
and then threaten the running safety of railway vehicles. This study aims to explore the …

Surface dents on railroad rails may be caused, for example, by the drop of freight goods or
the impact of ballast rocks and may have a deep effect on the rail service life. To better …
