Study on Rail Profile Optimization Based on the Nonlinear Relationship between Profile and Wear Rate

This paper proposes a rail profile optimization method that takes account of wear rate within design cycle so as to minimize rail wear at the curve in heavy haul railway and extend the service life of rail. Taking rail wear rate as the object function, the vertical coordinate of rail profile at rang...
