In the present paper, the interaction between the wheel polygon and the rail corrugation in the long-slope section of high-speed railways is mainly studied based on theory of friction coupling vibration. Firstly, the simulation model of the wheel\u2013rail contact model is established, as well as the polygonal wear of the wheel and the corrugated wear of the rail. Then, the stability analyses of the wheel\u2013rail system with periodic wear are studied, in which the four working conditions of smooth rail\u2013smooth wheel, polygonal wheel\u2013smooth rail, smooth wheel\u2013corrugated rail and polygonal wheel\u2013corrugated rail are compared. Finally, the competition mechanisms between the wheel polygon and rail corrugation under different parameters are discussed, including the wheel\u2013rail friction coefficient and the depth of periodic wear of the wheel\u2013rail system. The numerical results show that both the periodic wear of the wheel and rail with certain relevance will increase the friction coupling vibration of the wheel\u2013rail system, which may aggravate the subsequent relevant wheel polygonal and rail corrugation wear. With the increase of the friction coefficient between wheel and rail, as well as the depth of the wheel polygon and rail corrugation, the vibration trend of the friction coupling vibration of the wheel\u2013rail system increases gradually. Moreover, the proportion of the wheel polygon\u2019s influence on the friction coupling vibration of the wheel\u2013rail system is greater than that of rail corrugation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15248765","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,9]],"date-time":"2022-12-09T03:23:49Z","timestamp":1670556229000},"page":"8765","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Study on the Interaction between Wheel Polygon and Rail Corrugation in High-Speed Railways"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xiaotian","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanotronics & Vehicle Engineering, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing 400074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4316-1069","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaolu","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanotronics & Vehicle Engineering, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing 400074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jia","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanotronics & Vehicle Engineering, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing 400074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoxia","family":"Wen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanotronics & Vehicle Engineering, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing 400074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zongchao","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Railway Materials Operation and Maintenance Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing 100036, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"115968","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsv.2021.115968","article-title":"The dynamic resonance under multiple flexible wheelset-rail interactions and its influence on rail corrugation for high-speed railway","volume":"498","author":"Ma","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
