Definition of rail head profiles and tolerances (phase 2) (RR-STR-95-116)

Last updated on 20 December 2013 11:10

Rail head geometry influences rail rolling contact fatigue, rail and wheel wear, rail corrugation formation and vehicle ride since it affects wheel-rail contact behaviour. The present work represents the second phase of an evolving work programme considering the definition of rail head profiles and tolerances. Since the contact behaviour is...
