The interaction between wheel and rail is the main source of noise in a tram that moving on the rolling track. Wheel and rail irregularities are the causes that initiate dynamic forces and vibrations. Noise is the result of vibrations generated due to defects located on the contact of these surfaces. Rolling noise levels reduction can be achieved by improving contact surface condition, mainly by wheel bogies reshaping
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
