Abstract
The comparative wear performance of the new wheel has been evaluated against existing wheels by simulating the wheel-rail interaction over 800Â km of running. The simulation is based on the principle of pummelling and employs a quasi-static curving model. The model is validated through comparison with NUCARS predictions. The improved wheel design is found to exhibit a 25% reduction in flange wear compared with the current wheel profile.
