Users guide to program JRECONT for calculating wheel-rail contact geometry and pressure distribution (TM-MF-2)

Last updated on 02 April 2014 1:05

Program RECONT is designed to determine the geometry of elastic contact between a frictionless wheel and rail. The size of the contact patch, the distribution of pressure over that patch and the resultant forces are all calculated. The geometry is determined for a specified normal displacement of the wheel and...
