Can Simulation Help to Find the Sources of Wheel Damages? : Investigation of Rolling Contact fatigue on the Wheels of a Three-Piece Bogie on the Swedish Iron ore Line via Multibody Simulation Considering Extreme Winter Condition

The Swedish iron ore company LKAB uses freight wagon with three-piece bogie to transport iron ore from the mines in Kiruna and Malmberget to Lulea and Narvik. A simulation model of the freight wago ...
