The corrugated waist rail has been successfully rolled in the Mill Research Institute of Yanshan University. It is necessary to conduct a comparative study on the mechanical properties of this special kind of rail with that of the ordinary rail. ANSYS/LS-DYNA, the finite element code, is used to simulate the contact behavior of wheel and rail. The study aims to investigate the influences of axle and lateral load on the stresses and displacement of the rail. It draws a conclusion that the mechanical properties of the corrugated waist rail is superior to that of the ordinary rail. It also provides a method and useful data for the further research on fatigue and wear of corrugated waist rail.
