Influence of Axle Load on the Wear of Railway Wheel Material by Hewan Getachew Yenealem, Daniel T. Redda, Awel Mohammedseid

“…The result shows that the wear rate increases proportionally with the increasing of applied load and that the proportionality coefficient is 0.1393, which has a very good agreement with the experimental results from the works of literature. Likewise, the estimated total tread wear amount after a mileage of 52,000 km is 2% larger than the measured one in LRT, which is indeed an excellent result taking into account the inaccuracy of the wheel diameter gauge used to measure the wheel transversal profile. …”
