Rail-wheel friction quantification and its variability under lab and field trial conditions

Friction forces (often referred to as adhesion or traction forces) at the wheel/rail interface can vary dramatically due to changing environmental and contact conditions. The causes of this variance are partially documented, but it is not fully understood. Friction forces affect wheel and rail wear,...
