4. 17. Influence of railway wheel tread damage and track properties on wheelset durability – Field tests and numerical simulations

   Author : Michele Maglio; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dynamic wheel–rail interaction; axle stresses; railway wheel tread damage; wheelset durability; instrumented wheelset; rail vehicle maintenance; wheel–rail impact loads;

   Abstract : Wheel tread damage leading to high magnitudes of vertical wheel–rail contact forces is a major cause of train delays in the Swedish railway network, particularly during the coldest months of the year. According to regulations, vehicles generating wheel–rail impact loads exceeding the limit values must be taken out of service for wheel maintenance. READ MORE
