Spectral Characteristics of Rail Surface by Measuring the Growth of Rail Corrugation
Applied Sciences, 2021 Continuous interaction between wheels and rails during train operation results in rail wear and tear. Corrugation of the rail surface is particularly caused by the contact mechanism between train wheel and rail and increases the vibration and dynamic ...

Simulation of rail roughness growth on small radius curves using a non-Hertzian and non-steady wheel–rail contact model [PDF]
, 2014 A time-domain model for the prediction of long-term growth of rail roughness (corrugation) on small radius curves is presented. Both low-frequency vehicle dynamics due to curving and high-frequency vehicle–track dynamics excited by short-wavelength rail ...

Modelling rail track deterioration and maintenance: current practices and future needs [PDF]
, 1997 As commercialisation and privatisation of railway systems reach the political agendas in a number of countries, including Australia, the separation of infrastructure from operating business dictates that track costs need to be shared on an equitable ...

Rolling-sliding laboratory tests of friction modifiers in dry and wet wheel-rail contacts [PDF]
, 2010 Friction management has been carried out extensively in the majority of railway networks in the last few years. A popular practice is the application of friction modifiers to increase the adhesion level in contaminated wheel-rail contacts.

Dynamic characteristics and growth curve of rail corrugation at saturation stage
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2021 Rail corrugation, which causes the vibration and the noise, is a phenomenon in which roughness patterns of approximately regular wavelengths are formed on the rail running surface by trains running.

Wheel–rail contact: experimental study of the creep forces–creepage relationships [PDF]
, 2014 The wheel–rail contact problem plays an important role in the simulation methods used to solve railway dynamics problems. As a consequence, many different mathematical models have been developed to calculate wheel–rail contact forces.

Modeling of high-speed wheel-rail rolling contact on a corrugated rail and corrugation development [PDF]
Journal of Zhejiang University Science A, 2014 Short pitch rail corrugations were observed on a recently opened Chinese high-speed line. On the basis of field measurements and observations of corrugations occurred on the high-speed line, a 3D transient rolling contact model is developed using the explicit finite element (FE) method to investigate high-speed vehicle-track interactions in the ...
