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 …

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 …

The objective of this work is to investigate the microstructure evolution of railway pearlitic
wheel materials (ER7, CL60 and C-class) under a rolling-sliding contact loading. Firstly …

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 …

The goal of this work is to increase understanding of plastic deformation of the pearlitic
microstructure in the wheel/rail contact. The tridimensional gradient of microstructure below …

The objective of this study is to explore the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) behaviors of wheel
materials with a flat under different braking conditions using a JD-1 wheel/rail simulation …

Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) and wear are inevitable problems for wheels and rails.
Recently, increasing vehicle speeds and axle loads have led to the need for an increase in …

The objective of this study is to explore the wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF)
characteristics of wheel materials under different operating speeds conditions using a small …

Surface defects can induce serious rolling contact fatigue (RCF) damage at wheel/rail
interfaces and even cause fracture failure of rail material. This study aims to explore the …

Under conditions of curve negotiating and hunting, lateral force is generated at the
wheel/rail interface that can damage the wheel tread. The rolling contact tests were …
