Abstract

The interpolation of lookup tables (LUTs) has been used to compute forces developed in wheel-rail interaction to reduce the computational effort. However, the generation of LUTs with multiple inputs and multiple outputs consists of a challenging task since there is no methodology to reach a minimal size and uniform accuracy over the LUT domain. This paper presents a methodology to perform a detailed analysis of a general LUT, namely the interpolation error is assessed over the study domain, and the published Kalker Book of Tables for Non-Hertzian contact (KBTNH) is used as a case study. From this analysis, a new and enhanced LUT is suggested, which is approximately 5 times smaller than the original one, and whose accuracy is more balanced over the domain.
