Modelling of Frictional Conditions in the Wheel–Rail Interface Due to Application of Top-of-Rail Products
The coefficient of friction between a wheel tread and the top of the rail should be maintained at intermediate levels to limit frictional tangential contact forces. This can be achieved by applying top-of-rail products. Reducing the coefficient of friction to intermediate levels reduces energy consu...
