ANALYSIS ON WHEEL-RAIL MATCHING CHARASTERISTICS OF HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY by YI MeiLing

“…XP55 maintains a（near） linear change in the equivalent conicity and contact spot area, and the initial rail contact position close to the rail gauge corner of 7 mm is benefit to overcome the conformal contact on the rail top. …”

Thermal–Mechanical Coupling Analysis of Wheel–Rail Sliding Friction under Two-Point Contact Conditions by Feng Han, Hao Wei, Yang Liu

“…Then, the lubrication and cooling effects of friction modifiers on the rail top and rail gauge angle are compared. The results show that, at a sliding speed of 2 m/s and an axle load of 30 t under a sliding condition of 200 mm, on the top and side of the rail, the temperatures at the contact patch centers are 813 °C and 547.7 °C, respectively. …”

Impact of long trains on the railway track by V. S. Kossov, A. A. Lunin, Y. A. Panin, A. V. Trifonov, I. E. Il’In

“…When performing asynchronous emergency brakings the “practical top” of the compressive forces in the train (1600 kN) has been for the first time reached and the moment of loss of stability of a rolling stock in a rail gauge has been recorded. 3. When performing synchronous braking sufficient stability of the conducted locomotive and nearby the standing car is confirmed at influence of longitudinal forces. 4. …”

Automated Extraction of Rail Point Clouds by Multi-Scale Dimensional Features From MLS Data by Feng Han, Tao Liang, Jiping Ren, Yuan Li

“…The results of several scenarios in existing lines show that our method is highly adaptable and the extracted rail completeness and accuracy are above 94%, which is very promising for automatic extraction of rail point clouds from MLS data. The rail gauges measurement on the extracted rail point clouds also corroborate the method is a promising solution for extracting 3D rails from MLS point clouds.…”
