Originální abstrakt

The friction properties of the wheel-rail contact are characterized by a coefficient of traction (CoT), which can be affected by many contaminants. Numerous devices for assessing CoT are available; however, only a small number of them are capable of recording creep curves. This work introduced a rail-mounted tribometer that uses controlled changes in braking torque on a measuring wheel to induce creep in the contact. A methodology for assessing creep curve parameters was proposed, utilizing both analytical and numerical models of the contact. The experiments were performed both in the field and in the laboratory to investigate the effect of railhead conditions under various contact pressures and to track the evolution of the CoT during a measurement.
