Condition-Based Monitoring of Wheel-Rail Interface Using aNovel Multibody Twin Disk Rig Model

This paper describes the development of a comprehensive multibody model of the twin disk test rig using the modular approach. The mathematical models for electrical and mechanical components and wheel and rail rollers are implemented using SimPowerSystems, SimDriveline and Simulink toolboxes. The static and dynamic responses of the rollers are...
