An integrated design methodology, based on the use of numerical simulation tools (MultiBody-FEM), is being established and applied for the development of innovative railway wheels and axles having outstanding reliability performances. The advanced modelling of the dynamic vehicle mission, the service loads determination taking into account rail-wheel contact and the axle flexibility, along with a procedure to compute the load spectra for a number of representative running conditions encountered by the wheelset during standard service, offer a comprehensive framework for the early design stages of an innovative, high performance wheelset within the European Community funded HIPERWHEEL project.

Abstract

An integrated design methodology, based on the use of numerical simulation tools (MultiBody-FEM), is being established and applied for the development of innovative railway wheels and axles having outstanding reliability performances. The advanced modelling of the dynamic vehicle mission, the service loads determination taking into account rail-wheel contact and the axle flexibility, along with a procedure to compute the load spectra for a number of representative running conditions encountered by the wheelset during standard service, offer a comprehensive framework for the early design stages of an innovative, high performance wheelset within the European Community funded HIPERWHEEL project.
