The aim of this work is to develop a numerical approach which is able to include the inelastic material behavior in order to compare the different steel grades influence on rolling contact fatigue of railways wheels according to practical conditions. The main stages are the identification of the mat

Surface roughness on 150 railway wheels and on the rails of 30 sites in the Netherlands have been measured. Block braked wheels were found to show higher roughnesses than the rail at any site. The smoothest rail is 8 dB smoother than the smoothest wheel. It was concluded that in reducing railway rol
## ABSTRACT An engineering model for rolling contact fatigue (RCF) of railway wheels is developed. Three wellβknown types of fatigue in wheels β surfaceβinitiated fatigue, subsurfaceβinitiated fatigue and fatigue initiated at deep material defects β are accounted for. Fatigue impact is quantified b
