Simulation of rail wear and rolling contact fatigue using the whole life rail model

Last updated on 02 September 2014 3:35

The Whole Life Rail Model has been developed by AEA Technology Rail and the University of Sheffield as a practical engineers decision support tool to help control rolling contact fatigue (RCF). The model can be used as an 'asset management' tool to assess the likelihood of crack initiation, and to...
