Influence of Short-Pitch Wheel/Rail Corrugation on Rolling Contact Fatigue of Railway Wheels

Last updated on 16 October 2014 11:37

A numerical procedure to integrate simulation of high-frequency dynamic train-track interaction and prediction of rolling contact fatigue (RCF) impact is presented. Features of the included models and possibilities of applications are outlined. The influence of short-pitch rail corrugation and wheel out-of-roundness (OOR) on RCF of a high-speed passenger train is...
