Wheel Rail contact calculator

This GUI program calculates some of specific data during the contact between wheel and rail.

Al momento, stai seguendo questo contributo

This GUI program might be able to calculate the contact size and contact pressure on the contact patch by Hertz theory. The program also calculates normal force versus creepage comparing both Johnson and Vermeulen theory and Kalker's theory. It might be a good tool to visualize contact.

5.0.0.0

Bug fixed. Parameters n and m for contact pressure were set in 10 and 8, respectively. Also parameters phi1 and phi2 for Johnson and Kalker methods were set in 0.45 and 0.5, respectively. Play it by clicking buttons. Thanks.
