摘要

This paper develops a target-oriented method for the design of railway wheel profiles. The design methodology makes use of a unique inverse method. This employs contact angles and rail profile information. A computer program based on this method has also been built and is validated by way of an example. This is an example of an implementation for an independent wheelset.
