Abstract
The contact problem of a driving tyred wheel, pressed and rolling over an elastically similar half-plane, is considered. Although applicable to a wide range of shrink-fitted assemblies, the simplified model is solved to study the practical case of an elastically similar steel tyre mounted on a locomotive steel wheel subjected to tractive rolling. The behaviour of the system at the tyre—substrate interface is studied using closed-form solutions to calculate the state of stress within the tyre. Conditions leading to incipient slip and/or plasticity are identified and mapped for different loads and geometries.
