An investigation into the difference in stresses at welded joints in conventional track and slab track Part 2 raised weld profile (IM-TS-042)

Values of the peak wheel rail forces and the associated peak rail bending stresses peak rail displacements and peak wheel/rail contact stresses produced by a 100 ton tanker running over a welded joint, hare been calculated for conventional track and slab track. This memorandum discusses the vehicle and track models...
