Abstract
Wear of materials in rail/wheel industry is closely related to the cyclic creep. This contribution presents main results of experimental testing on R7T wheel steel. The cyclic creep is investigated under non-proportional loading conditions simulating a line rolling contact case. McDowell extrapolation was successfully applied to the calculation of twist. Cyclic material model MAKOC and MAKOC with memory surface were used for cyclic creep prediction. The plasticity model is based on AbdelKarim-Ohno kinematic hardening and Calloch isotropic hardening rules. Second material model was extended with Jiang-Sehitoglu memory surface, which is introduced in stress space. Material models were successfully used for predicting accumulation of shear strain.
