Experimental Characterization of Wheel-Rail Contact Patch Evolution
The contact area and pressure distribution in a wheel/rail contact is essential information required in any fatigue or wear calculations to determine design life, re-grinding, and maintenance schedules. As wheel or rail wear or surface damage takes place the contact patch size and shape will change. This leads to a redistribution of the contact stresses. The aim of this work was to use ultrasou...
متن کاملAnalytical Approach to Vibration Analysis Of the Wheel-rail contact
Wheel/rail contact simulation is one of the most complicated problems in the modeling of railway vehicles. The wheel/rail interaction plays a unique role in rail vehicle dynamics. In this paper, the dynamic response of the wheel on irregular rail track is analyzed with analytical approach using the method of Multiple Scales (MMS). The Hertzian contact theory is used to obtain the relationshi...
متن کاملFpga Implementation of Wheel-rail Contact Laws
This paper presents the development of an accelerator for the real-time simulation of wheelrail contact laws (Hertz and Fastsim), which would enable the use of hardware-in-the-loop for experimental studies of the latest active control technology for wheelset stabilization and steering. The complex wheel-rail contact laws are implemented using a single FPGA chip that outperforms modern general-p...
متن کاملAnalysis of wheel and rail Hertzian and Non-Hertzian contact theories using UM software considering the effect of rail inclination on wheel wear
Wheel-rail interaction has always been one of the issues in the railway industry. In this paper, the effect of Hertzian and non-Hertzian contact theories on the wheel wear due to the rail inclination was investigated. by using the UM software. According to the results, longer contact areas are obtained in non- Hertzian contact theory compared to Hertzian contact theory. In non-Hertzian contact...
متن کاملAnalysis of Rail Ends under Wheel Contact Loading
The effect of the discontinuity of the rail ends and the presence of lower modulus insulation material at the gap to the variations of stresses in the insulated rail joint (IRJ) is presented. A three-dimensional wheel – rail contact model in the finite element framework is used for the analysis. It is shown that the maximum stress occurs in the subsurface of the railhead when the wheel contact ...
