Friction Control between Wheel and Rail by Means of On-Board Lubrication

Last updated on 07 February 2014 4:27
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the friction control between wheel and rail can solve wheel/rail contact problems, such as wheel-slipping, rail corrugation, squeak noises, wheel/rail wear and so on. Firstly, fundamental tests with two-roller-rigs were carried out to evaluate the friction performances of several types of friction...
