Development of an On-Board Measurement System for Railway Vehicle Wheel Flange Wear. [PDF]
Sensors (Basel), 2020 The maintenance of railway systems is critical for their safe operation. However some landscape geographical features force the track line to have sharp curves with small radii. Sharp curves are known to be the main source of wheel flange wear.

A Detailed Model for Investigating Vertical Interaction between Railway Vehicle and Track
The Dynamics of Vehicles on Roads and on Tracks, 2021 SUMMARY A new detailed model is developed to investigate the vertical interactions between railway vehicles and tracks. The model consists of two subsystems of vehicle and track in which the vehicle subsystem is modelled as a multi-body system with 10 ...
