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 …

Effect of Wheel and Rail Conditions on Contact Dynamics and Mechanics
… positions, angles of attack, cant angles, and creepages that commonly occur in a train. It features a quarter-scale wheel with various profiles. First, the focus was on understanding how grease and leaves reduce traction at the wheel-rail interface (WRI). The test results indicate that even …
