Development of a Methodology to Calculate Stresses in Track Components

Last updated on 16 October 2014 11:37

The analytical model being used by Spoornet to calculate rail stresses on railway track for the past three decades was revisited and improved. The modifications include the incorporation of current best practices and presenting the engineer with guidelines on how to determine input parameters, which are normally difficult to obtain.
