12:15 - 1:15 pmNathan M. Newmark Civil Engineering LaboratoryRailway vehicles and tracks are complex, sophisticated, and highly nonlinear systems. There is one, singular location where these dynamic systems meet & interact: the wheel-rail interface. The contact pressures and subsurface stresses generated in wheel-rail contact far exceed those seen in many engineering applications, as does the range of environmental conditions
