Contact of working surfaces for spherical washers and recommendations for determining the gap in the joint by Dehtiarov I. M., Neshta A. O., Samardak M. P., Antosz K., Avramenko S. E.

“…In the article was proposed to introduce into the technical requirements for the spherical washers drawings changes concerning the gap size allowable in the conjunction, and as well as tolerances value changes of the radii of the working surfaces of the washers, thus increasing their manufacturability without conflicting with the requirements of the current standards.…”

Influence of white etching layer on rolling contact behavior at wheel-rail interface by Qinglin Lian, Guanyu Deng, Hongtao Zhu, Huijun Li, Xi Wang, Zhiming Liu

“…Stress changes along the rail depth matched with the previously reported microstructure evolutions. The current work revealed that the maximum difference in contact stress between the wheel passages of rail matrix and the WEL region (noted as stress variation) rises with the increase of loading pressure, the value of a/b, and Sr; but drops with the friction coefficient (μ). …”
