Risk-Informed Support Vector Machine Regression Model for Component Replacement—A Case Study of Railway Flange Lubricator
The railway-rolling stock wheel flange lubricator protects the wheels and railhead by lubricating their contacts.Failed or missing flange lubricators can lead to excessive wheel wear, wheel flats, 103 wheel cracks, rolling contact fatigue, rail damage, and derailment accidents.In extreme cases, missing or worn flange lubricators due to nonlinear ra
