Excessive vibrations of railway vehicles induced by dynamic impact loadings have a
significant impact on train operating safety and stability; however, due to the complexity and …

Out-of-roundness in railway wheels, in particular polygonal wear resulting in regular, multi-
lobed, out-of-round wheels, has become a significant problem in recent years. It is of …

The modeling of dynamic frictional rolling contact is crucial for accurately predicting behavior
and deterioration of structures under dynamic interactions such as wheel/rail, tire/road …

This paper presents an experimental study on the development mechanism of short pitch
corrugation using an innovative downscale V-Track test rig. Rail corrugation is reproduced …

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 …

This paper presents an analysis of the transient contact solutions of wheel-rail frictional
rolling impacts calculated by an explicit finite element model of the wheel-insulated rail joint …

With dynamic behaviour different from that of traditional discretely supported tracks,
continuously supported embedded rail systems (ERSs) have been increasingly used in …

Short pitch corrugation has been a problem for railways worldwide over one century. In this
paper, a parametric investigation of fastenings is conducted to understand the corrugation …

ABSTRACT A comprehensive 3-D explicit finite element (FE) model was established to
investigate the frictional wheel-rail rolling contact responses in this study, in which the strain …

Railway noise and ground-borne vibration induced by wheel–rail impact loads are
generated by discrete wheel/rail surface irregularities or local deviations in the nominal …
