Surface analysis of corrugated rail treads

Wear, 1990
Abstract Corrugated rail treads were examined by surface analysis. The results led to the conclusion that the vibration of the wheel-tread system leads to different amounts of load at different areas of the surface. As a consequence there are areas with higher loads, higher deformation, higher hardening and higher wear resistance: the “hills ...

Impact of Dynamic Characteristics of Wheel-Rail Coupling on Rail Corrugation

SAE International Journal of Vehicle Dynamics, Stability, and NVH, 2019
<div>To gain a better understanding of the characteristics of corrugation, including the development and propagation of corrugation, and impact of vehicle and track dynamics, a computational model was established, taking into account the nonlinearity of vehicle-track coupling.

Rail corrugation in The Netherlands—measurements and simulations

Wear, 2002
Abstract Rail roughness growth on Dutch railway tracks has been monitored since the early 1990s. On the track between Amersfoort and Baarn, significantly different levels of roughness have been detected on adjacent tangent track sections. The only obvious difference between two selected test sites located 250 m apart, one with a smooth rail and one ...

Effect of sleeper distance on rail corrugation

Wear, 1998
The present paper looks at the effect of sleeper separation on rail corrugation growth. The case under study involves short pitch corrugations on the low rail in sharp bends, the bends in question being those of metro-type railways in Bilbao, with the track on concrete slabs and with two resilient stages of STEDEF type.

On residual stresses in corrugated rails and wheel/rail interaction

1992
In recent years the problem of rail corrugations has become more and more important. Thus, there is a strong need for reliable models describing this phenomenon. Several factors which influence the development of corrugations will be discussed, and the dynamic effects in wheel/rail rolling contact processes are considered.

The rolling of a wheel along a corrugated rail

Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, 2008
The rolling without detachment of a rigid massive wheel, carrying a static load, along a rail with undulations on the running surface, which arises as a result of non-uniform wear, is investigated. The rail is supported by an elastoviscous base. Because of the inertia of the wheel and the carriage the horizontal component of the velocity of the wheel ...
