Mechanisms of Adhesion Increase in Wet Sanded Wheel–Rail Contacts—A DEM-Based Analysis
In railways, problems in braking and traction can be caused by so-called low-adhesion conditions. Adhesion is increased by sanding, where sand grains are blasted towards the wheel–rail contact. Despite the successful use of sanding in practice and extensive experimental studies, the physical mechani...
