... the tribological performance of the wheel–rail contact. In this work, the high-pressure torsion test used as a small-scale simulation of the interface is numerically modeled using the discrete element method (DEM). The DEM model is then utilized to investigate the effect of different particle characteristics...

..., and subsurface stresses in an elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) contact when inclusions are present in the elastic half-space. The approach is based on using the discrete element method to determine the surface elastic deformation in the EHL film thickness equation. The model is validated through comparison...
