Improved Railway Track Irregularities Classification by a Model Inversion Approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Over time railway networks have become complex Systems characterized by manifold types of technical components with a broad range of age distribution. De facto, about 50 percent of the life cycle costs of railway infrastructures are made up by direct and

Probabilistic Prediction of Wheel Squeal under Field Humidity Variation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This research examines the effect of changes in coefficient of friction due to humidity on the likelihood of wheel squeal events occurring in practice. Theoretical mechanics based modeling is developed and compared to a database of field measurements of ...

Mechanical track deterioration due to lateral geometry irregularities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This thesis deals with how a degraded track geometry influences further degradation of the geometry and the formation of rolling contact fatigue (RCF) and wear of rails. The overall objective is optimisation of railway maintenance.
