Instrumentation for dynamic fracture toughness tests (temperature wave measurement) (IM-IS-117)

Last updated on 24 July 2014 4:01

The tests were carried out to measure the possibility of using measurements of the temperature wave generated on fracture to determine the fracture toughness of rail samples. Each specimen had a fatigue crack across the head of the rail at the rod-position and the specimens were cooled by dry...
