A description of programs developed to allow the civil engineer's department to determine rail stress free temperatures from vibrating wire transducer readings (TM-TS-103)

The use of vibrating wire transducers, installed in rails, to provide information on stress-free temperature has been reported both within British Rail and in the technical press. (Refs. 1 - 5). During the development period the readings from site installations have been processed at the Research and Development Division's...
