Rolling contact stress states of two contact points on curved track

Last updated on 27 November 2013 10:14

A three-dimensional finite element model (3D FEM) of wheel/high rail rolling contact on curved track has been introduced in this article. The elastic-plastic model from FEM code ANSYS/LSDYNA included a whole wheel, 680 mm of the high rail and some sub-components of the track (railpads, sleepers, and ballast). Furthermore, the...
