Development of a methodology for calculating stresses in track components

Development of a methodology for calculating stresses in track components

An existing analytical model, in use by Spoornet for the past two decades for calculating rail stresses on railway track, was revisited and improved. The model provided engineers with an easy-to-use program for evaluating track capacity and authorizing heavier loads on track. The model was modified...
