Fatigue Life Evaluation of PC Sleepers Based on Wheel Load Measurement Results

Last updated on 23 November 2022 2:28

In this study, the remaining life of PC sleepers is evaluated from the viewpoint of the fatigue life of PC-steels of PC sleepers. Specifically, a method of acquiring the stress waveform of PC-steels during train running is developed. Furthermore, using this waveform, we calculate the fatigue strength of PC-steels in...
