The wheel-rail dynamic resonance (W-RDR) under multi wheelset-rail nonlinear interactions
in the mid-high frequency range is still unclear regarding wheelset flexibility, wave …

The wheel high-order polygonal wear leads to strong vibration/noise and deterioration of
railway systems, whose distribution is closely related to the seasonality and wheelset …

Traction is influenced greatly by the climatic conditions, especially under wet conditions
induced by rain or snowfall which could cause the loss of adhesion and could reduce the …

Dynamics of metro coach is complex with frequent acceleration, braking, sharp turns and
gradients. Due to sharp turns and twists in track, metro coaches are more prone to the …

Wheel and rail wear seriously affects the safety and reliability of train operations. In this
study single-carriage and double-carriage models considering the connecting unit of a high …

Track deterioration models (TDMs) help to allocate maintenance work (direct costs) to
vehicle runs. Furthermore, these models demonstrate the impact of rolling stock properties …

This paper is concerned with the modeling of power dissipation due to friction and its
relation with wear estimation in wheel–rail contact. Wear is a complex multi-scale and multi …

This work aims to analyse the effect of primary and secondary suspension parameters on
the dynamics of a BEML metro coach plying on the Kolkata metro track with short straight …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the wear evolution of metro wheels under the
conditions of different track sequences, track composition and vehicle load and then to …

In practice, the assessment and treatment of rail corrugation are quantitatively based on the
corrugation depth. Wheel–rail vertical forces (WRVF), as a direct reflection of wheel–rail …
