Computational modelling and experimental characterisation of heterogeneous materials [PDF]
, 2009 Heterogeneous materials can exhibit behaviour under load that cannot be described by classical continuum elasticity. Beams in bending can show a relative stiffening as the beam depth tends to zero, a size effect.

Impact of wheel shape on the vertical damage of cast crossing panels in turnouts [PDF]
, 2015 Impact forces generated in the load transfer area of railway crossing panels lead to a range of degradation modes from wear and fatigue of the contacting materials, fatigue of supporting components to ballast/subgrade deterioration.

Wheel–rail contact: experimental study of the creep forces–creepage relationships [PDF]
, 2014 The wheel–rail contact problem plays an important role in the simulation methods used to solve railway dynamics problems. As a consequence, many different mathematical models have been developed to calculate wheel–rail contact forces.

Modelling the Dynamic Behaviour of the Wheel-Rail Interface by Using a Novel 3D Wheel-Rail Contact Model [PDF]
, 2011 Methods for multibody modelling and simulation should accurately replicate the dynamic behaviour of rail-wheel interface including precise values for wheel-rail contact positions. This paper studies the development of a novel 3-D wheel-rail contact model

On the near wake of a Formula One front wheel [PDF]
, 2013 Velocity measurements were made in the near wake of the front wheel of a Formula One car using a laser Doppler anemometer. Tests were carried out on a 50% scale in a closed-return three-quarter open-jet wind tunnel. Three configurations were investigated
