A data-driven approach to rail wear modeling

, 2022
Zarembski, Allan M.Steel rail is one of the railways most vital track assets and is critical for safe and efficient operations. Rail fails due to loss of section (through various wear mechanisms) as well as fatigue.

Development of a model for predicting worn profile of rail considering lateral slip

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2018
The rail is one of the most important elements in constructing railway system. The phenomenon such as wear or defect of rail will be caused by the repeated wheel/rail rolling contact.

Mechanical Wear Contact between the Wheel and Rail on a Turnout with Variable Stiffness

Energies, 2021
The operation and maintenance of railroad turnouts for rail vehicle traffic moving at speeds from 200 km/h to 350 km/h significantly differ from the processes of track operation without turnouts, curves, and crossings.

RESEARCH INTO RAIL SIDE WEARING ON CURVES

TRANSPORT, 2003
Factors influencing rail side wearing in the curves are described in the article. All of them are divided into uncontrolled, partially controlled and controlled. An experiment was carried out on Lithuanian railway line curves. The experiment proceeding conditions and the obtained results are presented.

Effect of Mechanical Properties of Rail and Wheel on Wear and Rolling Contact Fatigue

Metals, 2022
Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) and wear are important problems for the wheel and rail. RCF and wear is caused by contact stress and the slip ratio between the wheel and the rail.

Mapping rail wear regimes and transitions [PDF]

, 2004
This paper outlines work carried out to produce maps of rail material wear coefficients taken from laboratory tests run on twin disc and pin-on-disc machines as well as those derived from measurements taken in the field.

Impact of Wheel-rail Lubrication on Outer Rail Wear in Metro Small Radius Curved Segments

Chengshi guidao jiaotong yanjiu
[Objective] For metro lines with high proportion of small radius curved segments and severe rail wear, lubrication can alter wheel-rail contact area friction coefficient and in turn effectively reduce rail wear, thus it is necessary to study the ...

An initial investigation on the potential applicability of Acoustic Emission to rail track fault detection. [PDF]

, 2004
In light of recent accidents in the rail industry, the assessment of the mechanical integrity of rail-track is of vital importance. This encompasses the integrity of the track due to rolling contact fatigue and surface wear. Whilst numerous techniques
