The effect of track alignment irregularity on wheel-rail contact geometry relationship in a turnout zone [PDF]
Journal of Modern Transportation, 2012 The irregularity is a key factor affecting the wheel-rail contact geometry relationship. In this paper, we calculated the wheel-rail contact points at typical sections and obtained the longitudinal variation of the wheel-rail geometry relationship with the trace line method.

A Design Method for Rail Profiles in Switch Panel of Turnout Based on the Contact Stress Analysis
Shock and Vibration, 2020 Contact stress between wheel and rail is believed to cause damage to the rail. The relationship between the contact stress and the radius of the rail is initially based on the Hertz contact theory.
