6. On the influence of surface roughness on rolling contact forces
Sammanfattning : Road vehicle tyres, railway wheels and ball bearings all generate rolling contact forces which are transferred within a finite area of contact between the rolling element and the substrate. Either it is visible or not for the human eye, a certain degree of roughness is always present on the contacting surfaces and it influences the generation of both vertical and lateral contactforces.

7. Simulation of vertical dynamic interaction between railway vehicle and slab track
Sammanfattning : The usage of slab track for high-speed railway lines has increased in recent decades. In Sweden, the building of new railway lines for higher speed and the selection of track design for such lines are currently being debated. LÄS MER
8. Influence of wheel tread damage on wheelset and track loading – Field tests and numerical simulations
Sammanfattning : Wheel tread damage leading to high magnitudes of vertical wheel–rail contact forces is a major cause of train delays in the Swedish railway network, in particular during the coldest months of the year. According to regulations, vehicles generating contact forces exceeding the limit value for allowed wheel–rail impact loads must be taken out of service for wheel maintenance. LÄS MER
9. Towards Model-Based Condition Monitoring of Railway Switches and Crossings
Sammanfattning : Railway switches and crossings (S&C, turnouts) connect different track sections and create a railway network by allowing for trains to change between tracks. This functionality comes at a cost as the load-inducing rail discontinuities in the switch and crossing panels cause much higher degradation rates for S&C compared to regular plain line track.

10. Wheel–Rail Impact Loads and Track Settlement in Railway Crossings
Sammanfattning : Turnouts (Switches & Crossings, S&C) are critical components of a railway track requiring regular maintenance and generating high life cycle costs. A main driver for the high maintenance costs is the need to repair and replace switch rails and crossings as these components are subjected to a severe load environment. LÄS MER
