Distribution of residual stress as measured by Meier Rods (LR-MF-118)

Last updated on 12 April 2013 2:15

4 CONCLUSIONS 4.1 In the rail foot, the longitudinal residual stresses reduce to zero over a distance approaching the height of the rail. 4.3 In the head, the overall long range residual stress pattern is complicated by the superposition of a short range stress pattern produced by wheel-rail...
