Modelling car motion and the calculation of the wear of wheels with the VNITsTT rolling surface profile by A. M. Orlova, Yu. V. Savushkina, V. I. Fedorova

“…The wear problem of wheels along rolling surface or thin flange is currently involved a large circle of specialists. There are opinions that it is necessary to establish new limit values for wheel wear in operation, put into practice the re-profiling (profile grin ding) of rails, install a larger number of floor-mounted lubricators in places of increased rail wear intensity, but one of the priority direction in this area is the development of a new surface rolling wheel profile for freight cars, the use of which will help to increase the turnaround time and increase the service life of the wheels in operation. …”

Péri-urbanisation et risques naturels by Laurent Astrade, Céline Lutoff, Rachid Nedjai, Céline Philippe, Delphine Loison, Sandrine Bottollier-Depois

“…The Lavanchon basin (southeast of Grenoble), which is subject to very rapid urban growth combined with particularly dynamic mountainsides, is representative of the way activity is being brought into closer contact with potential hazards. A diachronic study of changes in land use between 1956 and 2001 shows how valley infrastructures at the bottom of mountainsides have become increasingly dense. …”
