A comprehensive method for the elastic calculation of the two-point wheel-rail contact
Santamaría Manrique, Javier
; García Vadillo, Ernesto ; (Taylor & Francis, 2006)
This work shows the method developed to solve the wheel-rail contact problem via a look-up table with a three-dimensional elastic model. This method enables introduction of the two contact point effect on vehicle movement ... -
Design of an optimised wheel profile for rail vehicles operating on two track gauges
Santamaría Manrique, Javier; Herreros, Jesús; García Vadillo, Ernesto ; Correa García, Nekane (Taylor & Francis, 2013-01)
This paper sets out an optimum synthesis methodology for wheel profiles of railway vehicles in order to secure good dynamic behaviour with different track configurations. Specifically, the optimisation process has been ... -
Equivalent Conicity and Curve Radius Influence on Dynamical Performance of Unconventional Bogies. Comparison Analysis
Santamaría Manrique, Javier; García Vadillo, Ernesto (Taylor and Francis, 2004)
In this paper the dynamic behaviour of several unconventional bogies is compared. The study takes into account the radius of the curve and the maximum level of wear allowed to the wheels. Ranges of conicities and curve ... -
Influence of creep forces on the risk of derailment of railway vehicles
Santamaría Manrique, Javier; García Vadillo, Ernesto ; Gómez López, Josu (Taylor & Francis, 2009)
The derailment mechanism in a railway vehicle is a complex mechanical phenomenon which has been, and still is, the subject of intense research activity due to the serious consequences it can entail. Since Nadal deduced his ... -
Modelling rail corrugation with specific track parameters focusing on ballasted track and slab track
Oyarzabal de Celis, Olatz; Correa García, Nekane ; García Vadillo, Ernesto ; Santamaría Manrique, Javier ; Gómez López, Josu (Taylor & Francis, 2011-11)
The objective of this paper is to compare 3 types of track (high performance ballasted track, STEDEF and AFTRAV) from the corrugation growth point of view. This work has considered different vehicle speeds and track ...
