This project aims to investigate spalling behaviours of railway wheel under cyclic loading. Spalling are voids or edge cracks which form and grow due to rolling contact. Typically, cyclic loading will result in fatigue cracks to grow at the white etching layer of the wheel. Pre-existing cracks on wh...
