Rolling Contact Fatigue Life of Rail for Different Slip Conditions
Abstract A three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out to estimate the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) crack initiation life for varied slip range on the rail arising from operational variations. The wheel load produces Hertzian contact pressure. Variation in engine...
