CONVERTING CONSTANT AMPLITUDE LOADING OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE SLEEPER (PCS) FROM VARIABLE AMPLITUDE
Prestressed Concrete Sleepers are structures that support railway system and absorb variable loading from the train that pass along the rail. In this study, variable amplitude loading from PCS taken from site measurement was converted into constant amplitude loading.

PE-HD fatigue damage accumulation under variable loading based on various damage models
Despite numerous studies on fatigue of polymer materials under variable loading, there is little work on highdensity polyethylene (PE-HD). In this context, an experimental analysis for determining the fatigue strength of PE-100, under constant and ...
