Particle emissions are a drawback of rail transport. This work is a comprehensive
presentation of recent research into particle emissions from rail vehicles. Both exhaust and …

The aim of this paper was to review the current state of research for top of rail friction
modifiers (TORFM). In the railway industry, friction modifiers is a catch all term for a wide …

This work studies the tribological behavior of Hadfield steel under sliding wear conditions.
Wear tests were performed on Hadfield steel in the pin-on-disk configuration. The pins were …

Airborne particles from brake systems have been widely recognised as a great contributor of
particulate matter (PM) in railway environments, such as micro-and nano-size airborne …

The present study uses a pin-on-disc tribometer to evaluate friction, wear, and airborne
particle emissions for a rail-wheel contact. Test pins from UIC60 900A rail carbon steels …

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 …

In railway network, friction is an important factor to consider in terms of the service behaviors
of wheel-rail system. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of a solid friction …

Tribology is the science of friction, wear, lubrication and contact mechanics. The wheel-rail
interface is one of the most complex machine element contacts from a tribological …

The current work investigates the tribological properties of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL)
with reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) as friction modifier (added on weight percentage basis) …

Adhesion in wheel/rail contact influences performance and safety of railway traffic. Low
adhesion brings problems during braking and traction. Sanding is the most common way …
