Wheel–rail contact model for railway vehicle–structure interaction applications: development and validation

Abstract An enhancement in the wheel–rail contact model used in a nonlinear vehicle–structure interaction (VSI) methodology for railway applications is presented, in which the detection of the contact points between wheel and rail in the concave region of the thread–flange transition is implemented...
