THE 1/5 SCALE MODEL WHEEL-AXLE FATIGUE TESTING MACHINE AND SOME EXPERIMENTS

Article discusses the design of a machine to test for fatigue and failure of wheel-axle assembly. Machine is used to test 1/5 scale of wheel axles for fatigue calculated from bending stress and S-N curves of axles, and measurement of amplitudes of shock waves generated when wheel axles ran over rail joints or have flat on wheel tread.
