Narrow gauge cross braced bogie : fatigue life predictions for the cross bracing structure based on service tests carried out in New Zealand - (pp) (TR-MF-009)

Structural failures have been experienced in the fabricated cross bracing assemblies of Narrow Gauge bogies both in Malaysia and New Zealand. Since BREL were looking to supply more bogies of this design they considered that it was important to determine the cause of the failures. Although certain theoretical load cases...
