Rail-Wheel contact: equivalent conicity calculation

About the project (update in progress)

• C++ version of the EN15302 based Equivalent Conicity Calculation Program.
• Plot capabilities enabled by default employing matplotlib-cpp header-only library.
• noGUI available (so far) || Qt user interface planned.

For the EN15302 Standard scope & detalied computing processes aspects, please visit the original JavaFx version.

Personal thoughts

• Why C++?: std library is actually powerful, perhaps the most (I still like Java, as well).

• Why this repo?: to provide an example of a coded solution to a real engineering problem.

• Ok, and what else?: it's also an excellent hands-on opportunity to get to work on modern std library.

  💪 don't let anyone get you down 💪

Additional info

• Heavy implementation of lambda functions (by overloaded constructors).
• Standard template library features up to C++20.
• Usage of the 4 major Object-Oriented principles.
• Improved mathematical curves definition using cubic spline interpolation through the easy-to-use cxx-spline header-only library for modern C++.
