Abstract: The rolling contact fatigue cracks (RCF), produced at the surface of the rail tracks, can be detected using a magnetooptical (MO) sensor. Rail tracks are carbon steels with pearlite microstructure. This microstructure has a lamellar… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40098-020-00418-2
Abstract: In recent years, with the growing demand for both passenger and freight mobility, faster and heavier rail traffic has been the norm rather than the exception in many countries. As a result, track geometry and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/13287982.2017.1359398
Abstract: Abstract Ballasted rail tracks are the most important mode of transportation in terms of traffic tonnage serving the needs of bulk freight and passenger movement, but under train loads, the particles degrade due to breakage… read more here.
