Numerical Analysis of Wheel/Rail Contact Characteristics Based on Actual Wheel Profiles

Last updated on 04 January 2013 5:39

In the study presented in this paper, calculation of the contact patch between a measured wheel tread profile and a designed rail shape carried out strictly by using a general software program called TED/CPA in order to investigate their contact characteristics. A calculation method to obtain the creep coefficient was...
