Abstract
In this investigation, a numerical procedure for wheel/rail one and two-point contact geometry analysis is developed for predicting the location of contact points in curved negotiations on a tight radius curved track. The proposed method accounts for the change in the longitudinal location of contact point along the curved track as well as the circumferential contact point on the wheel flange. For the purpose of validation, simulation results for one and two-point contact scenarios are compared with those obtained using the experiment. The experiment is performed on a test track of R48 curve using an actual truck, and the location of contact points for given lateral and yaw displacements are measured on the tight radius curved track. It is demonstrated that good agreements are obtained between the simulation and experimental results in tread and flange contacts.
