Acoustic Impact of Defects on Railway Wheel Running Surfaces

Last updated on 13 September 2013 10:28

The noise emission of freight rolling stock in the environment is dominated by rolling noise. This linear phenomenon is produced by the combination of wheel and rail roughnesses which generates a relative displacement at the wheel/rail contact surface. One of the most efficient way of reducing rolling noise is to...
