Stress Analysis & Life Assessment of Alestum Locomotive's Wheels using Analytical Techniques

Abstract
In this thesis contact problem between wheel and rail has been studied. Also rolling contact fatige (RCF) has been studied in detail. Unlike previous studies that have focused on FEM solution, in this study the problem has been formulated based on analytical methods. Evaluating the loads in wheel-rail contact zone is necessary to find the defects. This thesis presents the evaluation of the stress field inside elastic rolling bodies with an elliptic area of contact. This kind of model can be applied to wheel-rail contact mechanics. The problem has been solved for two main models: with friction and without friction. The results have shown that shear stress reaches the maximum magnitude...
