THEORETICAL OBSERVATIONS OF RAIL HEAD STRESSES AT POINT OF LOADING

The author presents a theoretical treatment of the stresses in rail heads resulting from both vertical and lateral pressures, as well as the oblique loading from imposed wheel loads, including the torsional as well as the vertical and horizontal stresses. Specific attention is directed to the "S 49" and "S 54" rail sections.
