Contact detection approach between wheel and rail surfaces

This work presents a general formulation to identify the contact points for the interaction between wheels and rails in the context of railway dynamics simulations. This formulation treats the wheel and rail as parametric surfaces and searches the contact between each wheel strip and the rail indepe...
