Effects of rail materials and axle loads on the wear behavior of wheel/rail steels
Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2016 Four kinds of rail steels were tested to investigate the wear behaviors of wheel–rail materials under three kinds of axle loads. Results indicate that the increase in axle load not only significantly enlarges the wear loss but also enlarges the depth and

Temperature‐dependent shear behavior and constitutive model of the rock–concrete interface
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Shear tests were conducted to investigate the temperature‐dependent shear behavior of the rock–concrete interface, highlighting the interaction between the surrounding rock and the lining during tunnel fires. Under experimental conditions, concrete exhibited greater temperature sensitivity than rock, with the shear fracture surface transitioning from ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a

Experimental and numerical modelling of wheel rail contact and wear [PDF]
, 2011 In the field of simulation of railroad vehicles, there are many numerical models to estimate the interaction forces between the wheel and rail. The main advantage of these models is that they can be used together with multi-body dynamics software to ...

Influence of Axle Load on the Wear of Railway Wheel Material
Modelling and Simulation in Engineering, 2023 This study investigated the influence of axle load on the wear rate of railway wheel material. Excessive wear of wheel/rail materials and reduced service life of the wheel/rail system might be caused by the increase in axle load and traffic volume.

Limits for acceptable use of worn rails on UK standard gauge heritage railways [PDF]
, 2013 In 2011, UK heritage railways carried 7.1 million passengers on over 530 miles of track, accounting for £92 million of direct revenue. Much of this operation uses steam locomotives with relatively high axle loads and reciprocating motion which can lead ...
