Summary
The reflection coefficient of the ultrasonic wave produced at the interface between the wheel flange and the rail gauge corner under the rolling contact condition was compared with that produced under the static contact condition. The reflection coefficient under the rolling condition was smaller than that of the static condition. In addition, the contact condition transition under repetitive rolling contact was investigated. Repetitive rolling contact caused an approximate decrease of sixteen percent in the reflection coefficient. This phenomenon possibly indicates an increase of the real contact area between the wheel flange and the rail gauge corner because of the surface profile change and detachment of both the oxide and adsorption layers.
