  1. 1. PREVENTION OF WHEEL WEAR, A CASE STUDY : Developing a functioning wheel profile for rail-mounted transportation trolley.

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Agnieszka Inglot; Oskar Franzén; [2019]
    Keywords : Wear prediction; Rail; Flanged wheel; Archards model; Hertzian contact problem; Abrasive wear; Adhesive wear; Theorethical prediction model;

    Abstract : This bachelor’s degree project aimed to improve the wheel profile of a rail mounted trolley and determine the cause of wheel failure. The proceedings of this project where modelled after an approach for solving wear problems with an emphasis on designing for sustainability. READ MORE

  3. 2. Algorithm for Estimation of Wheel-Rail Friction Coefficient from Vehicle-Track Forces

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och spårfordon samt konceptuell fordonsdesign

    Author : Vladislav Petrov; [2012]
    Keywords : wheel-rail friction; friction coefficient; estimation of friction; contact point; vehicle simulation; vehicle certification;

    Abstract : In order to ensure safe travel, railway vehicles must be stable under every condition along the track. Thus, a vehicle can be certified for operation only when it can fulfil certain criteria related to the ride stability. The stability of the vehicle is highly dependent on the wheel-rail friction coefficient: higher friction results in worse ride. READ MORE

  4. 3. Wheel Wear Simulation of the Light Rail Vehicle A32

    University essay from KTH/Spårfordon

    Author : Ignacio Robla Sánchez; [2010]
    Keywords : wheel wear; light rail; train; simulation; vehicle model; wear chart; wheel flange; tread; rail profile; wheel profile.;

    Abstract : During the last decade, a novel methodology for wheel wear simulation has been developed in Sweden. The practical objective of this simulation procedure is to provide an integratedengineering tool to support rail vehicle design with respect to wheel wear performance and detailed understanding of wheel-rail interaction.
