Abstract: In this investigation, a numerical procedure that can be used for the analysis of a wheel and rail contact geometry is developed using the constraint contact formulation. The locations of ...

Abstract: In this investigation, contact search algorithms for the analysis of wheel/rail contact problems are discussed, and the on-line and off-line hybrid contact search method is developed for multibody ...

Abstract: In this investigation, dynamic characteristics of independently rotating wheel systems are discussed. To this end, a multibody independently rotating wheelset (IRW) model is developed using the ...
