Effect of compositions and hardness on wheel-rail contact analysis and wear behavior of wheel materials using finite element method: a case study of Addis Ababa light rail transit

Abstract Contact stress arises in the wheel-rail because of the load imposed on the wheel. This stress on wheel leads to wear, distortion, and damage, increasing maintenance or replacement costs. This study primarily evaluates stresses in wheel-rail contact utilizing the FEM method to compare existi...
