Numerical Investigation of Elastic Layer Effects in Wheel–Rail Rolling Contact

In railway systems, layered structures could be induced in wheel–rail contact interfaces due to several causes, such as head hardening, work hardening, plastic deformation, and mechanical or thermal excursion-induced phase transformation. This study proposes an explicit finite element (FE) method fo...
