In railway applications, the estimation of wear at the wheel–rail interface is an important field of study, mainly correlated to the planning of maintenance interventions, vehicle stability and the possibility of carrying out specific strategies for the wheel profile optimization. In this work the authors present a model for the evaluation of wheel and rail profile evolution due to wear specifically developed for complex railway networks. The model layout is made up of two mutually interactive but separate units: a vehicle model (composed of the multibody model and the global contact model) for the dynamical analysis and a model for the wear evaluation (composed of the local contact model, the wear evaluation procedure and the profile update strategy). The authors propose a statistical approach for the railway track description to study complex railway lines in order to achieve general significant accuracy results in a reasonable time: in fact the exhaustive simulation of the vehicle dynamics and of wear evolution on all the railway network turn out to be too expensive in terms of computational effort for each practical purpose. The wear model has been validated in collaboration with Trenitalia S.P.A and RFI, which have provided the technical documentation and the experimental data relating to some tests performed on a scenario that exhibits serious problems in terms of wear: the vehicle ALn 501 “Minuetto” circulating on the Aosta-Pre Saint Didier Italian line.
