Wear of wheel profiles is a common degradation process that significantly impacts the
reliability of wheelsets. In this study, a conditional bivariate Gamma process is constructed to …

Abstract WC-Cr 3 C 2–Ni coating was deposited on SK5 steel substrate by high velocity air
fuel (HVAF) spraying. The effect of vacuum heat treatment temperature on the phase …

Lubricating oil plays a vital role as the information carrier for equipment tribological
performance. Therefore, oil condition monitoring (OCM) serves as a crucial technology for …

Ti-Ta laminated composites suffer from the inadequate wear resistance and deficient
antibacterial properties. To promote their application, surface mechanical grinding treatment …

Numerical simulations of rail wear during sliding contact pose significant challenges owing
to the complex coupling between thermomechanical contact loads, material properties, and …

Locomotive-track interaction is commonly represented by a complex mechanical system
which is modelled in numerical studies. Numerical studies alone are not enough to precisely …

The aim of the experiment was to evaluate the biocompatibility of four 3D-printed
biomaterials planned for use in the surgical treatment of finger amputees: Ti-6Al-4 V (Ti64) …

The tribology behavior of the brake interface is a vital aspect since it determines the service
life and operation safety of the train. To be more understanding about this, a fully coupled …

The paper provides a review of modelling approaches for conformal wheel/rail rolling
contact, with a focus on contact models in the context of railway vehicle dynamics simulation …

Fretting is one of the common phenomena during the use of electrical connectors, which is
usually affected by the working environment and has a significant impact on the electrical …
