TL;DR: In this paper, a set of simple criteria for factors such as randomisation, blinding, use of control, and repeated tests has been made, which have been used in a mass review of the output of five highly regarded tribology journals for the year 2017.

Evaluation of the coefficient of friction of rail in the field and laboratory using several devices
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze different friction measurement techniques under a variety of wheel/rail interfaces and compare the results with the results obtained by the same measurement method on the same wheel and rail interface.

TL;DR: In this paper, two methods, carried out at two different test scales, for assessing the friction modifier performance were described, and the wear data from a full-scale rig test at the voestalpine ski resort was used.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of different trackside devices, and the influence of parameters governing grease pickup, including lateral wheel displacement and pump durations, including GreaseGuide™ was built at the University of Sheffield.
Development of grease tackiness test
TL;DR: In this paper, a test to evaluate the tackiness of grease has been developed using a standard tribometer, which was linked to the application of grease to a rail using a scaled wheel rig developed at the University of Sheffield.
