1. Analysis of rail breaks and insulated joint deterioration
Sammanfattning : The thesis deals with fatigue related issues in the field of railway mechanics. In particular rail breaks and deterioration of insulating joints are investigated. The study is largely motivated by plans to increase allowed axle loads in Sweden. LÄS MER
2. A study of the rail degradation process to predict rail breaks
Sammanfattning : Rail infrastructure is a large and costly investment, and has a long life. To realize the benefits from this investment, effective maintenance is required. LÄS MER
3. Wheels, Rails and Insulated Joints - Damage and Failure Probability at High Speed and Axle Load
Sammanfattning : The thesis deals with some fatigue related problems in railway mechanics related to increased axle loads and speeds. The focus is on defects and discontinuities in the wheel--rail system that affect the risk of fatigue and fracture of railway components such as wheels, rails and insulated joints. LÄS MER
4. Anisotropy in pearlitic steel subjected to rolling contact fatigue - modelling and experiments
Sammanfattning : In rails and wheels subjected to severe rolling/sliding contact, large plastic deformations accumulate in the surface layer. This decreases the fatigue resistance of components and makes this layer prone to formation of common rolling contact related defects. LÄS MER
5. Maintenance decision support models for railway infrastructure using RAMS & LCC analyses
Sammanfattning : Today's railway sector is imposing high demands for service quality on railway infrastructure managers. Since railway infrastructure has a long asset life, it requires efficient maintenance planning to perform effectively throughout its life cycle to meet these high demands. LÄS MER
