Experimental and Numerical Simulation of Wheel-Rail Adhesion and Wear Using a Scaled Roller Rig and a Real-Time Contact Code

Table 5

Tests performed to evaluate the wear on the wheels and the rollers.

Test	Creep	Reference speed (rpm)	Vertical load (kg)	km travelled (km)	Test time (min)
1	0.25	500	53	21.8	37
2	0.05	500	50	17	29
3	0.05	500	50	23.1	40
4	0.1	500	48	35.47	61
5	0.15	250	43	10.2	35
