THE WHEELSET AXLE, CALCULATION OF ITS FATIGUE STRENGTH?

DIER RADSATZWELLE-BERECHUNG AUF DAUERFESTIGKEIT?

In general, resistance to repeated stresses is taken into account in the design of axle journals. But the stresses on the axle are constantly being modified during running; the forces are therefore not constant, as assumed in the calculations, but a succession of efforts. It is absolutely impossible to know whereabouts in this success the points used for calculation occurs, both with regard to the intensity of the effort and the point in the stress cycle to which it corresponds. The authors draw some conclusions based on present progress in research into fatigue strength and results of measurements of the forces exerted between wheel and rail.
