This paper presents a wear prediction methodology for locomotive wheels and a detailed analysis of wheel load changes induced by wear. These load changes, due to one or more worn wheels, are shown to be signiificant and deleterious to dynamic performance as well as altering the wear rates. Methods for calculating both the change in wheel profile due to wear and the consequent redistribution of loads are developed and illustrated with numerical examples. (Wassmann)
