      abstract     = {As part of the expansion of the local public transport, the
                      aim is to increase the frequency of rail services, which
                      means that the rails and particularly the wheels of rail
                      vehicles will be exposed to higher stresses than is
                      currently the case. From a mate-rials engineering point of
                      view, this represents a challenge, as the contact surfaces
                      between wheel and rail are considerably smaller than in road
                      vehicles. However, with loads of more than 1,000 MPa, the
                      loads acting on them are significantly higher than in road
                      traffic. The shape, size, and position of the contact
                      surface influence the rolling friction and thus the wear.
                      Simultaneously, the contact surface influences the
                      polygonization of the wheels. These relationships lead to
                      considerable research interest in determining the contact
                      area in terms of its size and shape for a more comprehensive
                      understanding of the wheel-rail contact with regard to wear
                      in modern rail vehicles. The evaluation of the contact area
                      can be done via analytical, experimental, or numerical
                      methods. In this research, the contact area is determined
                      using the numerical finite element analysis (FEA) with
                      subsequent knowledge-based experimental validation of the
                      numerical results. Pressure measurement films and carbon
                      paper combined with conventional paper are suitable for the
                      experimental determination of the contact surfaces. The
                      corresponding intermediate layers lead to a changed contact
                      situation, which has to be implemented simulatively. The
                      simulative consideration of these intermediate layers and
                      the required material models are the starting point of this
                      work. Initially, material models were developed for three
                      single-layer pressure measurement films and for carbon paper
                      in combination with conventional paper. The basis for
                      determining the material models of the pressure measurement
                      films was results of experimental investigations of a
                      spherical body with a flat plate. Based on the results of
                      these investigations, elasto-plastic material models were
                      developed, which were afterwards not transferable to the
                      wheel-rail contact. Subsequently, linear-elastic material
                      models were developed for three types of pressure
                      measurement film. A simplified material model was
                      mathematically derived for carbon paper in combination with
                      conventional paper, as no experimental results were
                      available from prior investigations with spherical bodies
                      and plates. The linear-elastic material models for carbon
                      paper and pressure measurement films were extended by
                      pressure-overclosure curves, which took the surface
                      roughness of the wheel-rail contact into account. To
                      validate the material models, a test rig was developed at
                      the beginning of this research, which was used to
                      experimentally generate impressions of the wheel-rail
                      contact. The experimental and simulative investigations
                      comprehensively demonstrated that pressure measurement films
                      and carbon paper are suitable as a valid measuring medium
                      and can be validly mapped via simulations. Carbon paper
                      combined with conventional paper can be used in the same way
                      as pressure measurement films to detect the wheel-rail
                      contact situation.},
