Understanding of wheel/rail contact conditions is one of the most fundamental problems for railway vehicle dynamics. In this paper, the comparison of experiments with a full scale test track and an actual bogie, and numerical simulations which are based on the numerical procedure which the authors propose and which can be used for three-dimensional two-point contact analysis are conducted.
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.
