Abstract
This work presents an experimental approach to investigate and classify material vibrations induced by flat spots on train wheels. The simplified test setup intentionally omits spring elements, while vibration data is acquired using integrated electronics piezo-electric (IEPE) accelerometers. Both time-domain and frequency-domain analyses are applied to comprehensively evaluate the vibrational behaviour. The results offer valuable insights into the dynamic effects of flat spots, paving the way for implementing diagnostic sensor networks in railway systems.
