Here a comprehensive 3-D wheel-rail rolling contact finite element model was developed to investigate the influence of wheel-rail material properties on the dynamic wheel-rail interaction. The wheel-rail contact responses induced by two typical wheel tread defects (i.e. wheel flat and tread spalling) were discussed and compared to the responses of perfect wheel in this work. The dynamic wheel-rail responses of three typical material models involved (i.e. rigid, elastic, and elastic-plastic models) were investigated in terms of contact force, contact pressure/stress, and wheel/rail degradation. Furthermore, the strain rate levels during wheel-rail rolling contact at various train speeds were estimated with emphasis on the elastic-plastic model, which was helpful for determining strain rate range of wheel/rail material property tests. Finally, the influences of strain rate effect and initial fatigue damage of wheel/rail materials on dynamic wheel-rail responses were discussed. These results illustrated that the rigid model grossly overestimated wheel-rail impact force caused by wheel tread defects, while the elastic model overestimated wheel-rail contact pressure/stress, damage index, and frictional work. The strain rate effect could significantly increase Mises stress and inhibit plastic deformation of wheel-rail system, while the initial fatigue damage would reduce Mises stress and aggravate plastic deformation.
