Overview

Objectives:

The project addresses wheel and rail wear problems, including wheel-profile wear as well as corrugation or rail-undulatory wear, paying special attention to the conformal contact areas between wheel and rail in curved track. The study is aimed at obtaining possible solutions for the reduction of these types of wear.
