Wear modelling of a rail-wheel system
As one of the most efficient and aggregate means of transportation, the service life of the railway has been expected to be maintained or improved. The most important phenomenon within a rail-wheel system is the contact of rail and wheel ...

Prediction of top-of-rail friction control effects on rail RCF suppressed by wear
Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) and wear, two major deterioration processes, limit the lifetime of rails. These deterioration processes are even more severe on the curves of tracks used by heavy haul trains.
