A Review of wheel wear and rolling contact fatigue

Last updated on 19 September 2014 12:13

Railway wheels lives are limited by wear and the formation of rolling contact fatigue (RCF) damage. This review describes how the forces that cause wear and RCF on wheels are generated. It is demonstrated that shear stresses at and just below the surface are driven by forces generated during steady-state...
