In rail–wheel transports the maintenance interval for both wheels and rails has become a major issue in reducing costs and increasing safety and has encouraged the development of new numeric procedures for predicting the evolution of wear in order to establish a convenient maintenance schedule. These new tools require the synergy of dynamic analysis and the development of accurate and easy to use...
Numerous wear equations based on distinct models to predict the wear, are available in the literature. However, most of these models require properties that usually are not easy to obtain, and simple models derived from the Archard equation remain the main base to use in practical situations, by engineers and designers, to predict product life. This equation predicts that wear is a linear function...
