Track forces of iron ore wagons- Comparison Between Strain Gauge Based Measurements and Calculated Results

Daniel Borinder

Iron ore trains run from the mine in Kiruna to Narvik and Luleå. These trains are subject to wear and have to be maintained. The wheel-­‐rail interface is a major cost-­‐driver in the maintenance. In Narvik, Norway and Sävast outside Luleå, Sweden there are measurement stations that can indirectly m
