periodic wear or plastic deformation patterns along the railhead that cause noise and vibration, grouped by their wavelength-fixing and damage mechanisms.

In railway engineering, rail corrugation refers to periodic wear or plastic deformation patterns along the railhead that cause noise and vibration, grouped by their wavelength-fixing and damage mechanisms. This meaning comes from Grassie (1993) in Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit.[1]
