The aim of this paper is to develop means to predict accurately the residual stresses due to quenching process of an UIC60 rail. A three-dimensional nonlinear stress analysis model has been applied to estimate stress fields of an UIC60 rail...

and its effect on rolling members life

seem necessary. The objective of this paper is to provide a prediction of rolling contact fatigue

crack growth in the rail wheel under the influence of stress field from mechanical loads

and heat...

A semi-analytical method is developed for the analysis of deformation and three-dimensional stress field in rotating annular disks made of cylindrically orthotropic nested rings. The method is based on a layerwise theory and the Hamilton principle...

This paper provides a program to adopt based on modeling the nonlinear behavior of

arbitrary elements with combination of material nonlinearity and geometric nonlinearity for the

purpose of structures assessment. ...
