  "description": "<p>One of the most sensible issues in the railway industry is the impact on infrastructure of train<br>\noperations and the damage on vehicles provoked by the track conditions. These issues have a<br>\nsignificant impact on the life cycle costs of the railway networks. The study of vehicle-track<br>\ninteraction is important in reducing the operation and maintenance costs, by increasing the life<br>\ncycle of both vehicles and tracks, and increasing the speed, safety and comfort indexes of the<br>\nrailway systems.<br>\nThis thesis focused on the analysis of effects of radius of curved rail on rail wear. Multi-Body<br>\nsimulation software SIMPACK is employed to create a one car railway vehicle model with two<br>\nbogies with an axle load of 10 ton. The rail material which is applied on the study is UIC 60<br>\nstandard carbon steel. To verify the simulation results, the SIMPACK model is run on varies<br>\ntrack radius (sharp curves) range from 100 m to 800 m under dry condition. Parameters like track<br>\nradius, wheel rail contact patch area, contact pressure, vehicle speed, wheelset yaw angle are<br>\ninvestigated to analyse there effects on rail wear</p>",
