Experimental Study on Controlling Rail Corrugation by Tuning Rail Damper
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014At a serious rail corrugation line along Beijing metro Yi-zhuang line, one experiment of controlling rail corrugation has done. Based on the test and analysis of rail vibration decay rate, rail surface roughness and vibration acceleration on the rail and track bed before and after install TRD, it is concluded that install TRD on rail waist could ...

Shakedown of Rail Corrugations
1995A model of the elastic-plastic behaviour of a rail under moving and cyclically changing loads is proposed. Simple analytical expressions enable us to estimate the changes of the limit shear stress and residual stresses under the running rail surface after repeated passages of a wheel. It is shown that magnitudes of local hardening and residual stresses

Wheel-Rail Thermal Contact on Rail Corrugation During Wheel Braking
Applied Mechanics, 2005This paper uses the finite element method to investigate the effect of rail corrugation on the wheel-rail thermal contact pressure and temperature distributions during wheel braking. Contact elements are used to simulate the contact between a wheel and a rail.

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.

Effect of sleeper distance on rail corrugation
Wear, 1998The 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.

Rail corrugation: Characteristics, causes, and treatments
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit, 2009Rail corrugation is a phenomenon of great diversity but appears now to be substantially understood. This review proposes some differences in classification of the phenomenon to take account of work undertaken since a widely cited review was published by Grassie and Kalousek in 1993, it attempts to fill holes in an overall understanding of the problem,

Prediction of rail corrugation generated by three-dimensional wheel–rail interaction
Wear, 2004Abstract A method to predict rail corrugation is proposed. This time domain method includes three-dimensional train–track interaction and forms a basis for studies of rail corrugation both on tangent tracks and in curves. Using this method, mechanisms of rail corrugation related to the dynamics of the compound train–track system may be studied.

RAIL CORRUGATION ON NORTH AMERICAN TRANSIT SYSTEMS
Vehicle System Dynamics, 1997Abstract This paper describes work which has greatly improved our understanding of the processes by which rail corrugation typically develops on North American Transit systems. Several types of corrugation were identified from observations and measurements in the field.

Rail corrugations: analytical model and field tests
Wear, 1990Abstract Investigations concerning rail corrugations on the Paris Mass Transportation Authority network are presented. A linear model giving wear rate as a function of frequency has been developed and used as a tool to design track modifications to prevent the growth of corrugations.
