✦ Synopsis

We report on the experimental study of the roughness of randomly crumpled surfaces which are unfolded. This system provides a natural example of random surfaces which exhibit long-range correlations. It is shown that such rough surfaces are self-affine with a Hurst exponent H ~ 0.9. A simple one-dimensional model illustrates the way long-range correlations may naturally occur in the crumpling process.

For several years, studies carried out in Europe have shown the need to consider wheel and rail surface roughness as a major excitation parameter in railway rolling noise. Measuring the rail roughness may be critical in the assessment of the noise created by the wheel/track system. It can be measure
