Rolling contact fatigue and wear of rails are well-known problems. However, progress is not
easy to predict because these problems interact with each other. Therefore, to reduce …

Reasonable grinding parameters are significant problem affecting surface quality of rail
grinding. The objective of this study is to explore the effect of grinding parameters on rail …

The study focuses on the removal behaviours of rail material during grinding at different
forward speeds, which provides a better understanding for improving the grinding efficiency …

The carbody shaking phenomenon (CSP) can greatly reduce the ride comfort of high-speed
trains. To investigate the abnormal vibration feature and causes of the CSP, extensive field …

Abrasive material and hardness of grinding wheel are two important factors affecting the
grinding efficiency and quality. In this study, two kinds of abrasive grains (ie, zirconium …

Short pitch corrugation is a quasi-periodic rail defect that induces a high level of noise and
accelerates track degradation. This paper proposes a methodology to mitigate short pitch …

Facing grinding by abrasive wheel is the most widely used method to maintain the rails. The
wear of abrasive wheel is inevitable and influences the grinding performance significantly …

Laser cladding has been applied to reduce the wear on rails in a curved track. It is important
to evaluate the wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) characteristics of laser cladding rails …

Recently, the emerging rail grinding method using abrasive belt has been proposed to
efficiently achieve the required geometric profile and the surface quality of the railhead …

Rail grinding has been widely used for rail maintenance to keep the performance of the rail
track at satisfactory levels. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the relationship …
