Abstract

Top-of-rail products that give intermediate friction in the wheel/rail interface offer benefits in terms of reduced wear, noise and energy consumption. In this work a new test approach was developed using the high pressure torsion technique for assessing their impact on friction. The test outcomes were used to parameterize a creep-force model that can be used in combination with, for example, multi-body dynamics simulations to assess the product impact on train performance. The model was used to make full-scale predications which compared well with results from locomotive tests.
