Visualization and Modelling to Understand Rail Rolling Contact Fatigue Cracks in Three Dimensions

Last updated on 22 August 2014 3:05

The article presents an extensive survey of experimental data on rolling contact fatigue (RCF) crack shape and propagation characteristics in rails removed from service, where such cracks are angled to the rail axis. The data include re-analysis of previously published experimental data to extract crack shape information and new experimental...
