Analytical Evaluation of the Accuracy of Roller Rig Data for Studying Creepage in Rail Vehicles
… commonly used in rail vehicles. The established creep models of Kalker and Johnson and Vermeulen are used to establish correction factors, scaling factors, and transformation factors that allow us to relate the results from a scaled rig to those of a tangent track. �Correction factors, which …

Analytical and experimental investigation of a 1/5 scale rail vehicle simulator
… wheel/rail geometric constraints, a heuristic creep force model to take into account creep force saturation, and it includes the effects of Coulomb friction in the truck bearings. The linear model predicts the truck's natural Frequency versus speed within 5% of the experimental values. lt also …

Investigation of the finite element method for computing wheel/rail contact forces in steady curving
… such nonlinear effects as two-point contact, creep force saturation, and rail flexibility. The usual approximation concerning the contact geometry is that the Iocalized wheel and rail curvatures at the center of the contact patch are constant throughout the contact patch. This approximation …

A Polynomial Chaos Approach for Stochastic Modeling of Dynamic Wheel-Rail Friction
… model accounts for wheel-rail contact, creepage effect, and creep force, among others. Simulations are performed at train speed of 20 m/s for 4 sec using rail roughness as a unique excitation source. The dynamic simulation has been performed for the deterministic model and for the …

Experimental Evaluation of Wheel-Rail Interaction
… setup, the longitudinal and lateral traction (creep) forces are measured for different percent creepages, wheel loads, and angles of attack. The tests are performed using quarter-scaled wheels with different profiles, one cylindrical and the other AAR-1B with a 1:20 taper. Beyond the contact …
