The history of railway axle design against fatigue is reviewed through a discussion several notable accidents caused by broken axles. earliest prompted research into which resulted in phenomenological understanding. In the last 50 years, largely directed towards aircraft industry, has been recognized to be process involving crack initiation and propagation. Fracture mechanics now used assist timing inspection intervals, but small number failures still occur. paper concludes with short modern...
Abstract The elastic stress intensity factor is a parameter used in fracture mechanics to describe conditions the vicinity of tip sharp crack. By superimposing solutions factors for different loading conditions, equations are derived which model crevasses ice. Solutions presented theoretical depth isolated crevasses, free from or partially filled with water. Close agreement exists previous calculation by Weertman using technique. effect crevasse spacing investigated and it demonstrated that...
A combination of a rapidly increasing world population and an energy-intensive lifestyle has led to doubts about the sufficiency natural resources. The waste products these economic activities have become large enough change climate globe. demand for transport is characterized by exponential increase tendency choose faster modes. These facts give rise concerns sustainability present practices. While railways presently offer significant environmental advantages over other modes transport,...
ABSTRACT The importance of the wheel–rail interface to safe operation railways is discussed. Some aspects history rails and wheels are introduced. Several recent accidents involving described. great operating both vehicles track as a system emphasized, together with necessity maintaining in good condition.
