The FRA Office of R&D and the NRC are offering this grant to advance cooperative research crucial for enhancing the safety and productivity of North American rail services. This grant is for the purpose of conducting detailed studies into the fundamental interactions between rail and wheel components. Key areas of investigation include friction characteristics, the mechanisms of Rolling Contact Fatigue, and various forms of wear. The insights gained from this research will directly contribute to developing more durable rail systems and operational practices, ultimately leading to safer and more efficient railway operations.
