The aim of this project is to research how friction measurements in wheel-rail contact could be transferred on roller rigs with different scaling. The focus lies on correlations between parameters influencing the friction and of optimising them. Therefore, a 1:10 scaled roller rig is used introducing different interfacial media in the wheel-rail contact to understand their influences on the coefficient of friction. The measured values are compared to those of a different scaled roller rig. A method for transferring of friction measurements of roller rigs with different scaling is developed.
This project is supported by Knorr-Bremse Systeme für Schienenfahrzeuge GmbH.
