Figure Legend:
The loaded configuration of a track when one wheel passes. Due to the rail bending and rotation under wheel load, and the rail inclination, the pressure distribution within a rail pad is nonuniform, and changes as the wheel moves. (a) In the longitudinal-vertical plane, (b) in the lateral-vertical plane.
