Finite element modelling for the wear prediction of front rod of special layout railroad switch due to the vibration caused by train passage

When train passes through the rail joint at the heel of tongue rail of railroad switch, impact vibration is caused due to the step difference of the joint. This impact vibration is transmitted to the front rod, which is the attachment device located on the toe of tongue rail and connected with posit...
