Classification and evaluation of rail wear
Nohel, Rostislav ; Frýza, Josef (referee) ; Galas, Radovan (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis is focused on the wear of rails. In this thesis, the reader will be firstly introduced to the fundamentals such as nomenclature of wheel and rail, adhesion, adhesion coefficient, contact area, slip, traction characteristic and wear. Subsequently, the fundamental types of material wear (adhesive, abrasive and fatigue) will be explained, which occur in the wheel-rail contact. In the next part, the individual rail defects are analysed with respect to locations. The output of the bachelor’s thesis is overview and description of the most common rail defects which are usually caused by fatigue wear.
