Naeimi, M. (author), Li, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)A new small–scale test rig developed for rolling contact fatigue (RCF) investigations in wheel–rail material. This paper presents the scaling strategy of the rig based on dimensional analysis and mechanical modelling. The new experimental rig is indeed a spinning frame structure with multiple wheel components over a fixed rail-track ring,...conference paper 2014

Naeimi, M. (author), Li, Z. (author), Petrov, R.H. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Wu, J. (author)The substantial similarity of fatigue mechanism in a new test rig for rolling contact fatigue (RCF) has been investigated. A new reduced-scale test rig is designed to perform controlled RCF tests in wheel-rail materials. The fatigue mechanism of the rig is evaluated in this study using a combined finite element-fatigue prediction approach. The...conference paper 2014

Deng, X. (author), Naeimi, M. (author), Li, Z. (author), Qian, Z. (author)A modeling procedure to predict the residual fatigue life of rail at squats seeds is developed in this article. Two models are involved: a 3D explicit Finite Element (FE) model to compute the stress and strain at squats in rail, and the J-S fatigue damage model to determine the residual fatigue life on the basis of the computed stress and strain...conference paper 2014

Tzimiris, G. (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, A. (author), Li, J. (author), Hofman, R. (author), Voskuilen, J. (author)Due to lightweight and flexibility, orthotropic steel deck bridges become popular the last decades but several problems were reported in relation to asphalt surfacing materials such as rutting, cracking, loss of bond between the surfacing system and steel deck. In the Netherlands a surfacing structure for orthotropic steel bridge decks mostly...conference paper 2013

Yang, Z. (author), Li, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)This paper presents a full finite element (FE) interaction model of wheel-track to study the wheel-rail impact noise caused by squat. The wheel, the rail and some other track components are modeled with finite elements in three dimensions, where necessary and appropriate. Realistic contact geometry, including geometric irregularity (squat) in...conference paper 2013

Li, J. (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, A. (author), Tzimiris, G. (author)Light weight orthotropic steel bridge decks have been widely utilized for bridges in seismic zones, movable bridges and long span bridges. In the last three decades, severe problems were reported in relation to asphaltic surfacing materials on orthotropic steel deck bridges. Earlier investigations have shown that the bonding strength of membrane...conference paper 2013

Qian, Z. (author), Deng, X. (author), Li, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)The rolling contact of elastic bodies (upper body and lower body) can be analyzed with the Hertz theory and the Kalker’s model. It is generally believed that the width of the contact area should be much smaller than the characteristic size of each elastic body, to ensure that the half-space assumption is valid. However the definition of “much...conference paper 2014

(author)The coupled mechanical–thermal behaviour of wheel and rail materials under rolling contact is studied to determine the temperature rise due to the frictional heat. The wheel–rail frictional rolling contact problem is solved using the three–dimensional finite element (FE) method. The FE model considers the wheel tread–rail top contact with...conference paper 2015

Oregui, M. (author), Li, Z. (author), Dollevoet, R.P.B.J. (author)Rail joints have a shorter service life than most other railway track components. The discontinuity between rail ends turns the rail joint into a weak spot, and consequently, into a track component demanding more frequent maintenance measures, which result in high maintenance costs. Moreover, difficulties are often found when assessing the...conference paper 2012
