Abstract
Recently, a quasi-elastic model for the contact between two rigid bodies was introduced, that is tailored to the contact between a wheel with wear profile and a rail ([1]). This new approach to the geometrical description of wheel-rail contact is used successfully in the dynamical simulation of wheel-rail systems that have wheels with wear profiles. In the present paper we discuss the application of the quasi-elastic contact model in the dynamical simulation and the efficient numerical solution of the model equations.
The work of both authors has been supported by the German Federal Minister for Education, Science, Research, and Technology (grant FR7ROK).
