About this event
The deterioration mechanisms at the wheel-rail interface (such as: abrasive and adhesive wear, plastic deformation, rolling contact fatigue etc) are amongst the main maintenance cost drivers in the industry.
The research focusing on these complex subjects involve practical as well as theoretical cross-disciplinary expertise in fields such as: tribology, solid mechanics, vehicle dynamics, etc. The speakers will present the results of the interdisciplinary research initiative between the two institutions which combined the expertise related to the dynamic behaviour of railway vehicles and their interaction with the track with the expertise on process monitoring, modelling and control of complex systems.
