THE EFFECT OF RESIDUAL STRESSES ON RAIL STRENGTH

ISSLEDOVANIE VLIJANIJA OSTATOCNYH NAPRJAZENIJ NA PROCNOST RELSOV

The article describes a method for determining residual stresses in rails which show wear due to rail-wheel contact fatigue and in rails which have been bent before being placed on track sections on curves. The authors mention how residual stresses can be the cause and propagator of rail fatigue defects due to rail-wheel contact.
