Wear Prediction in Wheel-Rail Contact under Partial Slip Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a numerical model to calculate wear during rolling contact due to micro-slip. Having as initial condition a corrugated rail it is shown the influence of the corrugation wavelength and the dynamic effects of the normal force on the wear creation. Experimental results are presented in order to reveal the influence of roughness when studying the stick-slip phenomenon.
