1 BACK TO THE FUTURE Biennial Symposium: October 2012 Wheel / Rail Interaction Georg Hettasch
2 Presentation overview Why railways work The goal The wheel / rail interaction universe Acknowledgements: Dr. Robert Fröhling Danie Fourie Ulrich Spangenberg
3 Why railways work: high speed passengers
4 Why railways work: heavy haul freight
5 Why railways work: wheelset steering
6 Why railways work: wheelset steering Small Wheel / Rail contact angle Small rolling radius on inner wheel Lateral wheelset displacement Large rolling radius on outer wheel Large Wheel / Rail contact angle Rail reaction force direction on inner wheel Transnet no. 23 wheel profile on Coal Line High and Low leg rail profiles Rail reaction force direction on outer wheel
7 Why railways work: interface stresses 3 s 3 s 2 s 1 s 1 s s 3 iform pressure m all directions
8 Contact stress [MPa] Why railways work: interface stresses Contact location relative to rail [mm] Pair 167 Extracted maximums Reference
9 The goal: limiting wear Coal Line Jumbo wheel (no. 23 profile) 18E Locomotive wheel (original no. 22 profile)
10 The goal: Rolling Contact Fatigue management Gauge side false flange contact Field side false flange contact
11 The goal: vehicle / track interaction force management
12 The goal: vehicle / track interaction force management
13 The goal: derailment mitigation
14 The goal: derailment mitigation

18 Conclusion Railways work because: of the ability of profiled wheelsets to steer the wheel / rail interface can operate at very high material stresses We strive to: control Rolling Contact Fatigue and wear minimise Vehicle / Track interaction forces, and eradicate derailments The discipline of Wheel / Rail Interaction is dominated by the study of: Contact Mechanics Tribology Vehicle Dynamics Metallurgy
