A benchmarking methodology for top-of-rail products: Carry distance and retentivity
Abstract Top-of-rail (TOR) products are used in railways to reduce wear and noise by
providing an intermediate friction level and a positive creep curve. In addition to these …

An approach for the creep-curve assessment using a new rail tribometer
The friction properties of the wheel-rail contact are characterized by a coefficient of traction
(CoT), which can be affected by many contaminants. Numerous devices for assessing CoT …
