The information that automated train control (ATO) systems use to improve safety and
reduce power usage is limited by on-board and wayside monitoring applications and …

Fatigue reliability evaluation of heavy-haul locomotive car body underframe was conducted
based on measured strain and virtual strain. The coupler load was calibrated by combining …

Railway in-train forces are an essential element in assessing multiple aspects of rolling
stocks. Conventional methods for obtaining the forces can be time-consuming and require …

Wear is a primary form of rail damage, which shortens the lifespan of rails and compromises
the safety of train operations. Research on rail wear prediction is crucial for devising …

Abstract Wear and Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) on wheels and rails are influenced by
relative motions between the studied rail and wheel pair, and therefore influenced by train …

This paper investigates the effect of slip rate on the traction coefficient of the wheel/rail
interface using a twin-disc machine under the replicated tribological and locomotive …

Abstract the remaining useful life (RUL) of rails is important to ensure safe and reliable
operation of railway transportation lines. However, the severity of deterioration of rails from …

Rail corrugation poses a significant threat to train running safety in the field of railway
engineering. Therefore, this study employs numerical analysis to investigate the evolution …

Railway infrastructure relies on the dynamic interaction between wheels and rails; thus,
assessing wheel wear is a critical aspect of maintenance and safety. This paper focuses on …

A high-speed train with wings (HSTW) is a new type of train that enhances aerodynamic lift
by adding wings, effectively reducing gravity, to reduce the wear and tear of wheels and …
