Within the EU-Project SILENCE a new approach was followed to develop a wheel absorber which is suitable for freight trains with block-brakes. Lucchini has developed an absorber made exclusively out of steel consisting of various plates connected to each other while sliding is possible. In order to evaluate the effect of the absorber, FEM simulations have been performed in addition to measurements in the laboratory. The results of the simulations of a wheel with and without the absorber device are given, including the modelling of the absorber using the FEM technique. Also a comparison between calculated and measured results is presented.
