This paper proposes a new hypothesis for the formation process of short pitch rail
corrugation. An FE wheel-track dynamic model is utilized to verify the hypothesis by …

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 …

A new modeling approach is proposed for dynamic analysis of inflatable mechanisms with
large deformations, involving frictional contact and adhesion. Firstly, the Absolute Nodal …

Rails experience contact with a range of wheel profiles that pummel their surface at different
points and with different intensities. This work compares two methods for evaluating …

This paper aims to provide a viewpoint on the exploitation of physics-based dynamic
simulation in product development and discrete manufacturing products. The dynamics …

Predicting fatigue and wear on wheels and rails is a key to improve the service life of a
railway track and the rolling stock. Rails experience contact with a range of wheel profiles …

The modelling of wheel-rail interaction plays a main role through the literature, due to its
essential nature for analyzing the dynamic behavior of railway vehicles. In reality, the wheel …

This paper is a summary of the research done at the University of Seville in the field of
railway dynamics in the last 20 years. This research is separated in this paper in two …
