Rail corrugations - Some metallurgical considerations (TN-FM-58)

Last updated on 25 April 2014 3:37

This note suggests a model to explain the propagation of corrugations on the rail top. Previous metallurgical examination of corrugations and calculations of the dynamic properties of the track form the basis for the proposals. The suggested process is a stick-slip mechanism of the rolling wheel on the rail top...
