Abstract
Modeling the irregularities of the rolling surfaces in a wheel/rail system is of utmost importance from the accuracy perspective in predicting the wheel/rail interaction. This paper proposes a new geometric model of the wheel with irregular contour, which takes into account the wheel curvature. Upon using this model, the interaction between a wheel flat and a smooth rigid rail is simulated.
