The effect of water on the transmission of forces between wheels and rails
Provider: Rail Safety and Standards Board Limited
Programme: R&D programme
Implementation period: 16.03.15 - 31.07.16
Workplace:
Dopravní fakulta Jana Pernera - Výukové a výzkumné centrum v dopravě
Investigator: Voltr Petr
Description:
The objective is -- to develop a model with the ability to predict the influence of water on adhesion between the wheel and rail, validated through laboratory testing, -- to better understand the influence of the physical and chemical properties of water in the contact patch on the interaction between wheel and rail.
