This paper surveys advances in the understanding and modelling of wheel–rail creep
forces. The main focus is placed on tribological aspects, for which significant progress was …

The development of wheel–rail contact models is an active topic of railway research with the
dual objective of improving the accuracy of multibody simulations and reducing its …

This paper proposes a new way of considering wheel–rail contact in multibody systems
simulation that goes beyond the traditional planar constraint and elastic approaches. In this …

The use of detailed wheel/rail contact models has long been frustrated by the complicated
preparations needed, to analyse the profiles for the local geometry and creep situation for …

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 …

Computational robustness is a fundamental requirement for wheel–rail dynamic interaction
simulations. To improve the computational robustness of a wheel–rail non-Hertzian contact …
