The Influence of Precipitation and Friction Control Agents on Forces at the Wheel/Rail Interface in Heavy Haul Railways

Last updated on 07 February 2014 4:27

This paper presents an analysis of the influence of materials that can be present in the so-called “third-body layer” at the wheel/rail interface on curving forces generated in heavy haul operating conditions. The third-body layer is the interfacial layer whose shear properties determine the bulk frictional characteristics that emerge in...
