Wheel Tread Damage: A Numerical Study of Railway Wheel Tread Plasticity under Thermomechanical Loading

Last updated on 29 August 2014 4:49

A numerical study is presented where the impact of simultaneous thermal and mechanical loading on a railway wheel tread, as imposed by braking and rolling contact, is reported. A comparison is made of two-dimensional (2D) and 3D finite-element simulations of the thermomechanical problem featuring a material model that accounts for...
