While the normal wheel–rail contact model cannot be accurately used for light rail transit (LRT) wheel wear analysis with large wheelset lateral displacement and wheelset yaw angle, a modified semi-Hertzian contact model (MSHM) is proposed in the paper.

MSHM was first proposed to consider the wheelset motion with the lateral displacement and the yaw angle. Then, a dynamic model of an LRT was established and the influence of some key factors on wheel wear is analyzed. At last, after operating for a certain mileage, the predicted wheel wear is compared with the tested wheel wear.

Compared with the tested wheel wear, the predicted wheel wear shows a good agreement with the measured result, verifying the accuracy of MSHM.

Considering larger wheelset lateral displacement and yaw angle, MSHM can be used to calculate the wheel wear of the LRT with high accuracy.

The fifth-generation technology 5G, the planned successor to 4G, is a new global standard for mobile networks that brings virtual to reality. 5G wireless technology enables the delivery of high speed, low latency, reliability, 100% coverage and availability to connect number of users as in massive IoT applications.

With expeditious development in wireless communication, the need for enhanced characteristic antenna design such as the size of the antenna, high data rate, demand in traffic, bandwidth, gain and efficiency increases. Various antenna designs are to be explored to meet the needs and achieve trade-offs between antenna size vs cost, high gain and efficiency vs less loss, high B.W and data rate with the selection of appropriate substrate materials and various gain & isolation enhancement techniques.

This paper thus gives scope for miniaturized MIMO antenna design for mobile applications at mm-wave frequency range.
