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.
