Abstract: Abstract The wear occurring in the wheel-rail contact has a strong impact on the entire railway system consisting of the rolling stock and the infrastructure; essentially, the wear depends on the location of the contact… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT The hunting motion of a passenger coach is investigated using a multibody system in which the wheelsets and the rails can be modelled as flexible bodies. By comparing the results for different model variants,… read more here.
