Rail Corrugation: Characteristics, Causes and Treatments

Stuart L. Grassie, J Kalousek · 1 Jan 1993

Corrugation is a phenomenon which has excited the interest of railwaymen for more than a century, but for which there often does not appear to be a cure. It has generally been realized that there are in fact different corrugation mechanisms, and that some types of corrugation can indeed be prevented. The present paper draws…

A review on non-destructive evaluation of rails: State-of-the-art and future development

Mayorkinos Papaelias, Clive Roberts, C. L. Davis · 1 Jul 2008

Rails are systematically inspected for internal and surface defects using various non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques. During the manufacturing process, rails are inspected using automated optical cameras and eddy current sensing systems for any surface damage, while the presence of internal defects is assessed through ultrasonic inspection. Similarly, ultrasonic transducers and magnetic induction sensors have been…

Rail corrugation: Characteristics, causes, and treatments

Stuart L. Grassie · 26 Jun 2009

Rail corrugation is a phenomenon of great diversity but appears now to be substantially understood. This review proposes some differences in classification of the phenomenon to take account of work undertaken since a widely cited review was published by Grassie and Kalousek in 1993, it attempts to fill holes in an overall understanding of the…

Out-of-round railway wheels-a literature survey

Jens C. O. Nielsen, Anders Johansson · 1 Mar 2000

This literature survey discusses the state-of-the-art in research on why out-of-round railway wheels are developed and on the damage they cause to track and vehicle components. Although the term out-of-round wheels can be attributed to a large spectrum of different wheel defects, the focus here is on out-of-round wheels with long wavelengths, such as the…

A review of methods to measure and calculate train resistances

Bernard P. Rochard, Félix Schmid · 1 Jul 2000

This paper discusses a well-known tool for calculating train resistance to motion and its suitability for describing operations at high speed. The tool, originally developed by Armstrong and Swift [1], also permits the estimation of the contribution to aerodynamic resistance of various features of the architecture of a train. They compare this approach with the…
