Abstract:
The paper is devoted to radial and out-of-plane vibration of railway wheels and to wheelset stability as key elements affecting high-speed vehicle dynamics, noise emission, and safety. In the present study, railway wheel tire is treated as a curved beam with various beam models, and the wheel plates are modeled as Winkler’s elastic foundation. New results are presented concerning the influence of the residual stresses on the corrugation and poligonalization of wheels as well as wave propagation in the wheel tire
