Study on spalling behaviour of the railwheel due to cyclic loading

Spalling is a well-known rolling contact fatigue (RCF) damage for the railway wheel. Cracks often initiate in the white etching layer (WEL) and then propagate into the wheel due to cyclic rolling contact. The cracked material may break away from the railway wheel, leaving voids known as spalling. Th...

Description
Summary:Spalling is a well-known rolling contact fatigue (RCF) damage for the railway wheel. Cracks often initiate in the white etching layer (WEL) and then propagate into the wheel due to cyclic rolling contact. The cracked material may break away from the railway wheel, leaving voids known as spalling. The project is to study the spalling behaviour on railway wheels under cyclic loading
