Rotary-scaling fine-tuning (RSFT) method for optimizing railway wheel profiles and its application to a locomotive

Abstract The existing multi-objective wheel profile optimization methods mainly consist of three sub-modules: (1) wheel profile generation, (2) multi-body dynamics simulation, and (3) an optimization algorithm. For the first module, a comparably conservative rotary-scaling fine-tuning (RSFT) method,...
