The Effect of Profiles on Wheel and Rail Damage [PDF]
International Journal of Vehicle Structures & Systems, 2009 This paper outlines the historical development of the wheel and rail profiles currently used on railway vehicles. It also presents the key damage mechanisms involved in wheel-rail contact and summarises the methods that have recently been developed by railway engineers to predict the level of wheel and rail damage from these mechanisms.

Development of a Tram-Train wheel profile for dual-operation running [PDF]
, 2015 This paper explores the problematic interface between a Tram-Train vehicle and two very different railway infrastructures, detailing the analysis and design process required to develop an optimised wheel profile for dual operation running.

Railway wheel-flat and rail surface defect modelling and analysis by time–frequency techniques [PDF]
, 2013 Damage to the surface of railway wheels and rails commonly occurs in most railways. If not detected, it can result in rapid deterioration and possible failure of rolling stock and infrastructure components causing higher maintenance costs.

Wheel-Rail Profile Condition Monitoring [PDF]
UKACC International Conference on CONTROL 2010, 2010 Increased railway patronage worldwide is putting pressure on rolling stock and infrastructure to operate at higher capacity and with improved punctuality. Condition monitoring is seen as a contributing factor in enabling this and is highlighted here in the context of rolling stock being procured with high capacity data buses, multiple sensors and ...

Rail Geometry Analysis (From the Point of View of Wearing in the Operation)
Communications, 2003 Rail geometry analysis is, from the point of view of wearing in the operation, the question of present railway vehicles operation practice. The sequels of negative influence are reflected on the environment state.

Prediction of metal pm emission in rail tracks for condition monitoring application [PDF]
, 2011 Exposure to particulate material (PM) is a major health concern in megacities across the world which use trains as a primary public transport. PM emissions caused by railway traffic have hardly been investigated in the past, due to their obviously minor ...
