Investigation of Fatigue Crack Growth in Full-Scale Railway Axles Subjected to Service Load Spectra: Experiments and Predictive Models

In this paper, a series of experimental investigations was performed on full-scale railway axles to analyze the fatigue crack growth behavior of EA4T steel under load spectrum derived from real operating conditions. The experimental results were compared to life predictions carried out adopting two...
