In this paper, a reliability analysis of fatigue crack growth for a pearlitic Grade 900A rail steel
subject to the growth of multiple cracks is presented. The stress intensity factors (SIFs) at the …

The presence of fatigue crack is a common damage pattern in railway wheel-rail system,
which will reduce service life and increase the maintenance costs of railway transportation …

Fatigue crack is one of the most common defects in railway system. Fatigue crack growth
may lead to wheel and rail failure and damage to other components. In this paper, by …

The purpose of this paper is to numerically investigate the fatigue life and the fatigue crack
growth path of 2024 aluminum plate riveted joints. For this purpose, according to field …

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the crack growth and fatigue life estimation of the
optimized rivet joints in aluminum 2024 sheets numerically and experimentally. For this …

The aim of the present research is to determine the initiation and propagation of cracks and
its geometric specifications. Metallurgical factors, especially the non-metallic inclusions have …

The objective of this paper is to predict a three-dimensional fatigue crack growth (FCG) in a
pearlitic Grade 900A steel used in railway applications in the presence of periodic …

It is essential to assess the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) of turnouts and maintain them in
advance. It saves a lot of money while protecting the safety of railway operations. In …

The purpose of this paper is an experimental study on fatigue fracture performance of rail
steel which is used in Iran railway. For this purpose, the fatigue, fracture toughness and …
