Wheel-rail wear index prediction considering multiple contact patches
(Elsevier, 2009-06)
This paper shows a new wheel-rail contact model specially suited to obtain wear indexes between wheel and rail when the vehicle negotiates tight curves. The model presented in the paper enables introduction of the two ...
Dynamic optimization of track components to minimize rail corrugation
(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 ...
