The 'dynarat' computer model is used to simulate accumulation of plastic shear strain (ratcheting) in rails and to predict wear and crack initiation. Recent developments have focussed on models of microstructure and strain hardening characteristics, based on twin-disc tests with British normal grade
An increased wear rate and a shift of wear mechanism in the wheel-rail contact has been observed in tight curves, mainly due to the change from an almost pure rolling contact to more of a sliding contact. The wheel flange-rail gauge contact is commonly known to experience the toughest conditions of
