The interaction between wheels and rails is a critical determinant of railway system performance, safety and longevity. At the point of contact, complex mechanical stresses induce wear, ...

Rail corrugation – the formation of periodic undulations on the rail surface – poses a significant challenge to modern rail transport by inducing excessive noise, accelerating track degradation, and ...

MxV RAIL R&D, RAILWAY AGE MARCH 2022 ISSUE: MxV Rail (formerly TTCI) conducted a series of full-scale wheel/rail (W/R) rolling contact tests using its Rolling Contact Fatigue Simulator (RCFS) to ...

RAILWAY AGE, JUNE 2025 ISSUE: One of the surest and most common signs that something is amiss at the wheel/rail interface is accelerated wear of the wheels, rail or both. Occasionally the solution to ...

Advanced Rail Management (ARM) is a consulting / contracting service company specializing in providing turnkey rail / wheel interaction management solutions on freight, passenger and rail transit ...

The Federal Railroad Administration has announced proposed rules to amend the Track Safety Standards and Passenger Equipment Safety Standards for high-speed and high cant deficiency train operations ...

Due to the rail-bridge thermal interaction, the high additional axial force in continuously welded rails on continuous bridges may lead to rail buckling or breaking. However, there is little research ...

A framework was conducted to investigate the dynamics of overall vehicle–track systems with emphasis on theoretical modelling, numerical simulation and experimental validation by Prof. Zhai’s group at ...
