About RISSB Wheel Rail Interface Forum
The RISSB Wheel Rail Interface Forum will review the fundamentals of what happens between wheel and rail and examine the complex issues around the wheel rail interface.
Responding to feedback from the inaugural Wheel Rail Interface forum, we have extended the 2014 forum to feature more interactive sessions.
The two day forum will review the fundamentals of what happens between wheel and rail before focusing on the practicalities of monitoring, interventions, maintenance, management and the critical importance of the interdisciplinary cooperation.
It will feature a number of expert technical presentations and case studies covering key issues including:
WHEEL RAIL DYNAMICS: Looking at the basics of wheel rail interaction
DESIGN: Suspension designs to optimize curving and hunting
CONTACT MECHANICS
WHEEL AND RAIL PROFILES
