Analysis of the wheel and rail frictionless normal contact considering material parameters

Wheel and rail contact is a transport application of contact mechanics. Outputs of the contact interface are investigated in various perspectives. Examinations of the inputs are generally ignored, but there are assumptions that include material parameters. This study examines the material inputs and assumptions of the previous wheel and rail contact analyses. This study covers the comparison of different elastic material parameters and the effects of the elastic wheel assumption.
