Contact mechanics analysis of measured wheel-rail profiles using the finite element method

Last updated on 28 October 2014 2:03

A tool has been developed for contact mechanics analysis of the wheel-rail contact. Using measurements of wheel and rail profiles as input, the tool is based on the finite element (FE) code ANSYS. Traditionally, two methods have been used to investigate the rail-wheel contact, namely Hertz's analytical method and Kalker's...
