TLDR
In this paper, the natural vibrations of railway wheels made of composite materials have been theoretically estimated by the finite element method and compared with those in wheels made by steel, and a conical shell element with displacements in the axial, radial and circumferential directions has been used in the analysis.

Stresses in a railway wheel due to an impact load

TL;DR: In this paper, a railway wheel is modelled using a string of conical shell finite elements and the response of the wheel to an impact loaded is analyzed using the modal superposition technique.

Noise generation in railway wheels due to rail-wheel contact forces

TL;DR: In this article, the bending vibrations of a wheel are calculated by means of a finite element model and the forced and self-sustained oscillations are determined using modal expansion techniques.

Vibration analysis of thick composite clamped conical shells of varying thickness

TL;DR: In this paper, the suitability of different theories used for vibration studies has been investigated, viz. Love's first approximation shell theory, an improved theory with shear deformation and rotatory inertia, and a shell theory with thickness normal strain and shear deformations.
