Abstract
In this investigation, a numerical procedure that can be used for the analysis of wheel/rail two-point contact geometries in turnout sections is developed. In turnout section, the tongue rail changes its shape along the track. Cross-sectional shapes of the tongue rail, therefore, need to be generated by interpolations along the rail and these profiles are used to determine the location of contact points for given location of wheelset along the track trajectory. Numerical examples of wheel/rail contact in point section are presented in order to demonstrate the use of the procedure developed in this investigation and the effect of wheel profiles on the contact configuration in turnout section is discussed.
