A Review of Wheel-Rail Dynamic Behavior on Curved Tracks
Main Article Content
Abstract
With a speedy advancement in vehicle speed and transport capability, a huge challenge has been imposed to improve railway vehicle dynamic behaviour and track design to ensure the optimum performance of railway vehicles and tracks. To safely negotiate the vehicle speed on circular and transition curve tracks several aspects such as wheel-rail wear, smooth ride and vehicle stability need to be analysed. The investigators have paid great attention to exploring the compatibility among vehicle stability and curving ability, parametric analysis and optimization of curving performance, minimising the wheel-rail wear and curve squeal noise etc. The present paper focuses on reviewing these past efforts made by the researchers.
