The major source of railway noises is rolling noise caused by the interaction of the wheels and rails. This rolling noise is generated by the roughness of the wheel /rail surface on tangent track in the absence of discontinuities such as wheel flats or rail joints. These roughness cause relative vibrations of the wheel and rail at their contact area. The vibrations generated at the contact area are treansmitted through the wheel and rail structures exciting resonances of the wheel and travelling waves in the rail. Then these vibrations radiate noise to the wayside. In this paper we predict the rollingnoise radiated from radial/axial motion of the wheel and vertical/lateral motion of the rail using Remington's analytical model and then compare of the predicted sound pressure and measured one. Although there are some inaccuracy in our prediction. these results show in good agreement between 500 Hz and 3150 Hz.

Rolling contact fatigue and wear on rails are inevitable in railway operations due to excessive wheel-rail contact stress. The wear is influenced by vehicle speed, contact pressure, environmental conditions, and many other factors. Speeding on a curved track causes many problems such as wear on the gauge of the rail and rolling contact fatigue. Managing environmental conditions can reduce problems on the wheel and rail interface. In this study, the wear characteristics of wheel and rail materials were investigated by twin-disc testing using various parameters. The results of the wear test indicated that the wear rate under dry conditions was larger than that under wet conditions. We found that contact fatigue damage occurred on the rail in dry conditions, however, the surface of the specimen under water remained smooth. Also, the friction coefficient in dry conditions was larger than in wet conditions.

윤축 동역학 해석은 철도차량 동역학 해석의 정밀도를 결정하는 핵심 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 정밀한 3차원 차륜-레일 접촉 해석을 윤축의 강체 운동 방정식에 적용하는 방법으로 3차원 윤축 동역학 해석을 수행하였다. 곡선 주행시 플랜지 접촉에 의해 차륜-레일 2점 접촉이 발생할 때 윤축의 동역학 해석이 가능한 수치해석 절차를 개발하였다. 윤축의 구속조건식과 강체 동역학 방정식을 Runge-Kutta 방법을 이용하여 수치적분을 수행하였다. 제안된 윤축 동역학 해석 결과는 VI-RAIL을 이용한 해석결과와 비교 분석하여 타당성을 검증하였다.

In this paper, descibed was the derived algorithm for calculating contact point between wheel and rail and the developed method for rail modeling. The proposed methods use travelling distance to represent rail center line position vector and rail orientation with respect to Newtonian reference frame. The methods call be easily used ill multibody dynamic analysis. Two numerical examples are shown to verify the validity of the proposed methods.

One of the main causes of severe wear or crack initiation in wheel and rail is the contact stress due to wheel-rail contact. In this paper, the shape design based on more reasonable contact stress analysis rather than a general Hertzian contact theory is investigated in order to reduce the contact stress. The optimal design is performed using the simple 2-D finite element model and its results are verified by 3-D finite element analysis.

Rolling contact fatigue of an urban railway wheel was analysed during its rolling. A FEM analysis was performed using a 3D modelling of rail and wheel, considering the slope of the rail and nonlinear isotropic and kinematic hardening behavior of the rail and the wheel. The maximum von-Mises stress and contact pressure between the rail and wheel were 656.9 MPa and 1111.4 MPa, respectively, under axial load of 85 kN with friction coefficient of 0. The fatigue initiation life prediction relationships by strain-lifetime (${\varepsilon}$-N) and Smith-Watson-Topper method were drawn for the wheel steel as follows: $N_i=7.35{\times}10^6{\times}SWT^{-3.56}$ and $N_i=5.41{\times}10^{-9}{\times}(\frac{{\Delta}{\varepsilon}}{2})^{-5.77}$. The fatigue lifetimes of the wheel due to rolling contact were determined to be infinite by ${\varepsilon}$-N and SWT methods.

The railway vehicle is composed of many suspension components, such as 1st springs, 2nd dampers, that have an influence on the dynamic characteristics of high speed train. Also, the wheel/rail shapes and its contact mechanism affect the dynamic behavior of high speed train. but these geometric contact characteristics are nonlinear functions of the wheelset lateral displacement and it do not exact dynamic analysis for high speed train. there is a need to develop a new wheel/rail contact module for dynamic behavior and wheelset model is divided motor box, wheel box and wheel body. This wheel is moved by motor box and constrained by joint. It is almost same a train and its result is more exactly.

Even though a constant repeated load is applied, plastic deformation may cumulate. This kind of behavior is called ratcheting. Ratcheting may lead to cracks and finally to failure of the rail. Usually ratcheting occurs on high rails in curves. Ratcheting is influenced by residual stresses, wheel-rail contact stresses, thermal stresses due to wheel/rail rolling contact, shear strength of the rail, strain hardening behavior, etc. In this study, contact stresses and thermal stresses are examined. It is found their value is considerable compared to the maximum contact pressure.
