      A comprehensive method for the elastic calculation of the two-point wheel-rail contact 

      Santamaría Manrique, Javier ORCID; García Vadillo, Ernesto ORCID; Gómez López, Josu (Taylor & Francis, 2006)
      This work shows the method developed to solve the wheel-rail contact problem via a look-up table with a three-dimensional elastic model. This method enables introduction of the two contact point effect on vehicle movement ...

      A rational fraction polynomials model to study vertical dynamic wheel-rail interaction 

      Correa García, Nekane ORCID; García Vadillo, Ernesto ORCID; Santamaría Manrique, Javier ORCID; Gómez López, Josu (Elsevier, 2012-04)
      This paper presents a model designed to study vertical interactions between wheel and rail when the wheel moves over a rail welding. The model focuses on the spatial domain, and is drawn up in a simple fashion from track ...

      Chatter avoidance in the milling of thin floors with bull-nose end mills: Model and stability diagrams 

      Campa Gómez, Francisco Javier ORCID; López de Lacalle Marcaide, Luis Norberto; Celaya Egüen, Ainhoa (Elsevier, 2011-01)
      The milling of thin parts is a high added value operation where the machinist has to face the chatter problem. The study of the stability of these operations is a complex task due to the changing modal parameters as the ...

      Design of an optimised wheel profile for rail vehicles operating on two track gauges 

      Santamaría Manrique, Javier ORCID; Herreros, Jesús; García Vadillo, Ernesto ORCID; Correa García, Nekane ORCID (Taylor & Francis, 2013-01)
      This paper sets out an optimum synthesis methodology for wheel profiles of railway vehicles in order to secure good dynamic behaviour with different track configurations. Specifically, the optimisation process has been ...

      Dynamic optimization of track components to minimize rail corrugation 

      Oyarzabal de Celis, Olatz ORCID; Gómez López, Josu; Santamaría Manrique, Javier ORCID; García Vadillo, Ernesto ORCID (Elsevier, 2009-01)
      In this paper, the influence on corrugation of the most significant track parameters has been examined. After this parametric study, the optimization of the track parameters to minimize the undulatory wear growth has been ...

      Equivalent Conicity and Curve Radius Influence on Dynamical Performance of Unconventional Bogies. Comparison Analysis 

      Santamaría Manrique, Javier ORCID; García Vadillo, Ernesto ORCID (Taylor and Francis, 2004)
      In this paper the dynamic behaviour of several unconventional bogies is compared. The study takes into account the radius of the curve and the maximum level of wear allowed to the wheels. Ranges of conicities and curve ...

      Influence of creep forces on the risk of derailment of railway vehicles 

      Santamaría Manrique, Javier ORCID; García Vadillo, Ernesto ORCID; Gómez López, Josu (Taylor & Francis, 2009)
      The derailment mechanism in a railway vehicle is a complex mechanical phenomenon which has been, and still is, the subject of intense research activity due to the serious consequences it can entail. Since Nadal deduced his ...

      On the influence of conformity on wheel–rail rolling contact mechanics 

      Blanco Lorenzo, Julio; Santamaría Manrique, Javier ORCID; García Vadillo, Ernesto ORCID; Correa García, Nekane ORCID (Elsevier, 2016-07)
      The aim of this work is to assess the effects of conformity on local contact related quantities at the wheel–rail interface such as traction distributions, subsurface stresses and frictional work distributions. For this ...

      Techniques for On-Line Diagnosis of Stator Shorted Turns in Induction Motors 

      Albizu Flórez, Igor ORCID; Zamora Belver, Inmaculada; Mazón Sainz-Maza, Angel Javier ORCID; Tapia Otaegui, María Aranzazu (Taylor & Francis, 2006-01)
      In low voltage induction motors, the first indication of a stator fault is the appearance of an inter-turn short circuit. For this reason, several attempts to diagnose reliably these short circuits have been made. Although ...
