Time domain models of wheel/rail interaction taking account of surface defects

A time domain wheel/rail interaction model in the vertical direction is developed taking account of surface defects. This model consists of a wheel moving over a finite element track model with a detailed non-Hertzian contact model. This numerical non-Hertzian contact model is either used for roughn...
