The effect of proximity of a rail end in elastic-plastic contact between a wheel and a rail

Last updated on 28 October 2014 9:36

This paper investigates the effects of a free rail end on the contact stress distribution near the rail end by employing elastic-plastic finite element methods. The contact elements were used to simulate the interaction between a wheel and a rail. A plane strain model was used in this study. Variations...
