When compared with road traffic, railway transportation is safer, more comfortable, less polluting and presents less energy consumption per passenger/km. When compared with the airplane, high speed trains are able to compete for short and medium distances, with the advantage of having better energy

Twin disc tests are commonly used to study wear in railway materials. In this work the implementation of a numerical model of the twin disc arrangement is given, which reproduces the distribution of tangential forces over the contact patch between the two discs. Wear is subsequently calculated by re
This paper describes the development of a riding simulator for two-wheeled vehicles, which use to analyze the human factor of riders. We have already produced longitudinal motion of the simulator system. Therefore, in this study, we constructed a model for lateral motion of simulator system using tr
Currently, hip joint simulation is an important tool in both testing total hip prosthesis and developing new biomaterials with enhanced tribological properties. During total hip arthroplasty (THA), the ligament of the femoral head (LHF) and the cartilage of the acetabulum pelvic cup are often disrup
