A mechanism for the formation of short wavelength rail corrugations based on slip stick vibrations (TM-VDY-017)

Last updated on 16 August 2013 3:59

Corrugations on railway lines occur in more than one form and are caused by more than one mechanism. On BR lines the most common type of corrugations have a wavelength in the range 40-80mm and appear to be caused by a wear mechanism rather than by plastic flow. The report...
