In the present work, a methodology for the reliable simulation of wheel-rail wear of trams is developed and applied to relevant operating conditions. The methodology combines a multibody vehicle-dynamics simulation, a dynamic contact simulation based on FEM, and a wear calculation. The results show that the maximum friction energy density in very tight track curves is significantly higher compared to heavy rail systems. The sensitivity of the considered influence parameters on wear is assessed.

This book explores the impact of railways on colonial Indian society from the commencement of railway operations in the mid-nineteenth to the early decades of the twentieth century. The book represents a historiographical departure. Using new archival evidence as well as travelogues written by Indian railway travellers in Bengali and Hindi, this book suggests that the impact of railways on colonial Indian society were more heterogeneous and complex than anticipated either by India's colonial railway builders or currently assumed by post-colonial scholars.

India has had operating railways for well-over 150 years: railways that have played a central and well-documented role in the making of India in the colonial and post-colonial eras. This handbook provides a reference guide for researchers interested in almost any facet of the history, colonial and post-colonial, of these railways. The secondary literature is identified and surveyed, primary sources and their locations identified, statistical and cartographic data discussed and presented, and a massive bibliography made available. This handbook is the indispensable tool for anyone seeking to understand India's railways and the roles they played in the making of modern India.

Unusual in its theme, this comprehensive publication should please not only experts in onomastics but also fans of rail transport. For the first time, they can discover detailed linguistic analysis of the names of 357 trains that have been crossing the Czech Republic since its foundation. The core of the book consists in an extensive dictionary of proper names of train lines where each train connection is accompanied with a table of extra-linguistic factors such as the train category, its number, departure and destination, route, and time of operation. Supplementary charts and maps are provided at the end.
