15. An Investigation of the Iron-Ore Wheel Damages using Vehicle Dynamics Simulation
Abstract : Maintenance cost is one of the important issues in railway heavy haul operations. For the iron-ore company LKAB, these costs are mainly associated with the reprofiling and changing of the wheels of the locomotives and wagons. The main reason for the wheel damages is usually surface initiated rolling contact fatigue (RCF) on the wheels. READ MORE
