Two-point wheel-rail contact investigation

This paper describes a wheel - rail contact for a case when one contact point is located on the wheel tread while the other is on the wheel flange. The locations of these points are determined for both wheels for given lateral displacement and yaw angle of a wheelset. Numerical simulation results ar...

Description
Summary:This paper describes a wheel - rail contact for a case when one contact point is located on the wheel tread while the other is on the wheel flange. The locations of these points are determined for both wheels for given lateral displacement and yaw angle of a wheelset. Numerical simulation results are presented for new and worn rail-wheel profiles in order to demonstrate a developed algorithm.
