Descripción
Sumario:This work is the result of a problem of premature development of rail corrugation found on a new metro line. As urgent solutions, a rail grinding was carried out and friction modifier started to be applied. Experimental corrugation measurements have been taken periodically in this line at 60 control points since 2018, and an extensive database has been collected since then. As a second stage, a computationally efficient new model has been developed to predict corrugation growth under different running conditions. The aim of this work has been to obtain feasible solutions to delay corrugation growth in metro type lines.
