DURABILITY TESTS ON TRACK COMPONENTS

Use of a Vibrogile is found the most simplified and effective method for determining the durabilities of various track components such as the fastenings, ties, pads, etc. It was felt necessary to perform durability tests on the fastenings and other components, using a hydraulic fatigue testing machine which can apply a repeated pressure of constant magnitude with accuracy, though without any vibration, and thereby supplement the Vibrogile testing. Thus, the durability tests were carried out on the fastenings for the existing line and the new Tokaido trunk line, using both the testing machines.
