dc.description.abstract	This thesis presents the theories and numerical simulations in regard to the behaviour of a single-axle railway wheelset commonly used in cargo rail cars. Specifically, creep forces, dynamic models, real wheel-rail profiles, and multiple point contact will be investigated.	en_US
