Investigation of the finite element method for computing wheel/rail contact forces in steady curving
The understanding of rail vehicle steady-state and dynamic curving has increased substantially in the last few years. Contemporary curving models include such nonlinear effects as two-point contact, creep force saturation, and rail flexibility. The usual approximation concerning the contact geome...
