BEHAVIOR OF THE METALS OF RAILS AND WHEELS IN THE CONTACT ZONE--THREE-DIMENSIONAL PHOTO-ELASTIC STUDY OF A LOADED BUT NON-BENT RAIL

The mathematical and modeling studies are being conducted to determine the stresses produced by the strains applied to rails and wheels. The early results of these simulation tests are presented.
