Measuring Methods of Radius of Curvature and Tread Circle-Fitting Studies for Railway Wheel Profiles

A railway wheel profile consists of short arcs with complex radii of curvature, and wheel wear leads to changes in the profile’s radius of curvature that ultimately affects the dynamic performance of the train. To track the evolution of in-service wheel profile curves, the radii of curvature of new...
