Influence of railway wheel tread damage on wheel–rail impact loads and the durability of wheelsets

Abstract Dynamic wheel–rail contact forces induced by a severe form of wheel tread damage have been measured by a wheel impact load detector during full-scale field tests at different vehicle speeds. Based on laser scanning, the measured three-dimensional damage geometry is employed in simulations o...
