  2. 1. Influence of rail, wheel and track geometries on wheel and rail degradation

    Author : Kalle Karttunen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; track geometry; rolling contact; rail; railway; Rolling contact fatigue; maintenance; wear; wheel;

    Abstract : For more efficient railway maintenance there is a need to increase the understanding of the influence of operational conditions on wheel and rail degradation. To this end, the chosen primary investigation strategy is to employ dynamic multibody simulations, where operational conditions are altered, to estimate the influence on material deterioration.

  4. 2. On Simulation of Uniform Wear and Profile Evolution in the Wheel - Rail Contact

    Author : Roger Enblom; Mats Berg; Simon Iwnicki; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wheel-rail contact; wear; wear prediction; wear model; wheel profile; rail; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : Numerical procedures for reliable wheel and rail wear prediction are rare. Recent development of simulation techniques and computer power together with tribological knowledge do however suggest computer aided wear prediction as possible. READ MORE

  5. 3. Simulation and Measurement of Wheel on Rail Fatigue and Wear

    Author : Babette Dirks; Mats Berg; Roger Enblom; Mark Burstow; KTH; []
    Keywords : multibody simulations; prediction; wear; RCF; wheel; rail; cracks; measurements; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : The life of railway wheels and rails has been decreasing in recent years. This is mainly caused by more traffic and running at higher vehicle speed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Numerical simulation of crack growth and wear in rails

    Author : Jim Brouzoulis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; crack propagation; material forces; Rolling Contact Fatigue; wear; railway mechanics;

    Abstract : Wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) of rails are huge problems for the railway industry with increased world-wide occurrence during the last decades. It is, therefore, of high interest to develop tools for the prediction of wear and RCF which can be used to estimate rail life. READ MORE
