The rapid convergence of the tangential rolling contact parameters to their stationary values, combined with the high computational cost associated with calculations using instationary models, has meant that stationary models are usually employed in railway dynamics. However, the validity of stationary models when the applied contact conditions are subjected to rapid changes has not been sufficiently investigated. With the objective of deducing the effects of the evolution of the instationary process on the contact parameters, the tangential contact problem is solved for a set of reference conditions. For this purpose a calculation model is adapted, from which it is possible to analyse the evolution of the contact parameters when the forces exerted between rail and wheel are subjected to rapid changes. From the calculations made, situations impossible to simulate by means of stationary theories are obtained according to the frequency of variation in the forces, such as slip zones in the leading edge of the contact area and reverse contact (locally, the traction field is opposite to the direction of the external force transmitted to the contact).
