Abstract
The finite element model of the running tyre and the pre-stressed concrete (PC) track beam are created in the study. The wheel-rail contact status under the conditions such as acceleration or braking, lateral deviation, and roll is analysed. The wear law of the running tyre under the operating condition of driving on winding roads is discussed. The results show that the running tyre will unevenly wear when driving on the winding road; the smaller curve radius and the faster speed result in heavier and more uneven wear. There is a larger slip between the running tyre on the inner side of the curve and the rail surface, and this tyre has more uneven wear than the running tyre on the outer side of the curve. The research findings provide a theoretical basis for solving the problem of reducing the uneven wear of the running tyre.
