  Fractal rigidity of the wheel-rail contact 

  Babici, Laura Mariana; Tudor, Andrei; Romeu Garbí, Jordi; Stoica, M. (Institute of Physics (IOP), 2020-12-25)
  Article
  Open Access

  One of the essential parameters of the roughness with effects on the vibration of the wheel and the rail is the contact stiffness. This rigidity considers the geometry and material of the wheel and rail, which are considered ...
