Project
• The main goals of the project are:o To create one model for prediction of the total
expected life of wheels and railso Selection of reference vehicles, lines and curves
for validation of the modelso Perform/collect measurementso Validation of the modelo Apply the model to investigate the influence of
different parameters (wheel/rail profiles, vehicle suspension, axle load, track condition etc.)
4
Scope of this presentation
• To study the behavior of two reference vehicles with respect to wear and RCF of the wheels.o Two wear and two RCF prediction models
have been used in combination with vehicle dynamics simulations.
o Multi-body simulations in Gensys provided the input to the wear and RCF models
5
Methods• Two reference vehicles, running on the Stockholm
commuter network, have been selected
•2,6 m
Vehicle B
Vehicle A
•2,4 m•2,7 m
6
Methods – RCF models
• Two RCF initiation prediction models have been studied and compared:o 1) based on the shear stress (SI-model)o 2) based on the energy dissipation (DI-model)
7
Methods – RCF models
• Surface initiated RCF index (SI) of the form:
0)( >−= kSI τ
•τ is the shear stress [N/m2]
•k is the yield stress in shear [N/m2]
•p is the contact pressure [N/m2]

Conclusions
• The following main conclusions can be drawn for the RCF prediction models:o Both RCF models predict more damage for vehicle B
than for vehicle A due to the better steering performance of vehicle A
o Under poor adhesion conditions, however, the models behave differently: • The SI-model predicts less damage for high
creepages, due to the independence on creepage• Previous research, however, has also shown that
high creepage has no effects on RCF life.
• The RCF inspections of the wheels of vehicle B show that the steering of the axles under certain circumstances can be poor.

Conclusions
• The following main conclusions can be drawn for the wear prediction models:o Both wear models predict more wear for vehicle B
than for vehicle A due to the better steering performance of vehicle A
o The Archard’s wear model predicts more wear due to the large influence of the sliding velocity in the wear map, therefore, especially for vehicle B.
