Polygonisation is a common nonuniform wear phenomenon occurring in railway vehicle
wheels and has a severe impact on the vehicle–track system, ride comfort, and lineside …

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 wheelset-gear box of high-speed train is the typical unsprung mass serving in the
complex excitation environment. To investigate the independent and compounded …

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 …

Wheel polygonal wear is a common and severe defect, which seriously threatens the
running safety and reliability of a railway vehicle especially a locomotive. Due to non …

The fracture of coil springs occasionally appears in rail vehicles, which may severely
jeopardise the train running safety. In this study, the fracture phenomenon of the locomotive …

Nonlinear dynamic behavior of a new mesh-type rail pad on the vehicle-slab track coupled
system is investigated considering the influences of frequency and amplitude dependence …

Polygonal wear of railway wheels will accelerate the failure of critical structure. It is of great
significance to monitor their state in service. However, affected by the frequently changed …

Severe wheel polygon will cause the strong repeated wheel-rail excitation, accelerating the
failure of vehicle key components. Nevertheless, the traditional spectral estimation methods …

Wheel-rail squeal noise during train turning has been a tricky problem influencing
passengers and nearby residents. The tonal curve squeal that mainly occurs at the inner rail …
