The model for analysing wear and fatigue defect formation is developed based on the approaches of contact and fracture mechanics. The model includes the solution of the contact problem for the wheel and rail to find the shape, size and position of the contact zones and the contact stresses and calculation of the surface wear and the function of damage accumulation in the rail and wheel. The wear rate and the worn-profile evolution of the wheel surface are calculated using both statistic and deterministic approaches to modelling of vehicle dynamics (tribo-dynamic modelling). The influence of the evolution of the wheel–rail profiles due to wear on the damage accumulation process is analysed. It is shown that for some values of the wear rate coefficient, the wear process can prevent the crack initiation under the wheel surface.
