The accuracy of physics-based wheel wear prediction approaches depends not only on the
vehicle-track dynamics model but more importantly on the wear model. The currently …

This paper presents a methodology to develop optimal railway wheel profiles based on their
rolling contact fatigue (RCF) and wear performance. The NSGA-II multi-objective …

Hydrodynamic seals are crucial sealing components in aero-engines, and the wear
phenomenon during their start-up process is the primary cause of engine efficiency and …

We studied different long-chain ammonium ions intercalated zirconium phosphate α-ZrP,
methylamine intercalated ZrP (MA-ZrP), tetramethylammonium hydroxide intercalated ZrP …

Wheel-rail geometric parameters are crucial for determining wheel wear in high-speed
trains. Under the action of a wheel-rail load, both the wheel and rail suffer elastic …

The wheel-rail interface parameters and suspension parameters of high-speed trains exhibit
stochastic distribution characteristics due to the influence of material properties …

The reliable prediction of wheel wear can help to reduce maintenance costs. With the help of
two common approaches (statistical, contact mechanics based), it is possible to predict …

The paper focuses on investigating the impact of rail surface roughness on wheel wear in
train systems. The roughness of the rail surface is affected by various factors, and it has …

The railway wheel wear prediction is essential in the optimization of the maintenance
strategies of the wheel-rail system which have both economic and safety implications. The …
