"This tutorial provides some tools to help you create a new scene description file that can be parsed into Drake's multibody physics engine (MultibodyPlant) and geometry engine (SceneGraph)." "The ...

Co-simulation methods harness the strengths of multiple, domain‐specific solvers to simulate large-scale, complex multibody mechanical systems. By partitioning a system into interconnected subsystems, ...

Abstract: Understanding and predicting the wear mechanisms of wheels are of great interest to railways companies since wear is one of the principal drivers of operational costs. Quantifying the ...

Abstract: The digital twin is considered a new and promising concept whose added value is seen mainly in end applications. However, the benefit of considering the digital twin application since the ...

Accelerometers play a crucial role in the railway industry, especially in track monitoring. Traditionally, they are placed on the railway tracks or often on bridges to monitor the health and condition ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper we present new numerical simulation approaches for determining the energy processes under periodic conditions caused by time-discontinuous forces in the wheel-rail contacts.
