Fatigue Crack Modeling of Railheads Using a Nonlinear Cohesive Zone Model
Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 3738-3750, September 2026.ABSTRACT Subsurface fatigue crack growth within railheads can be deleterious leading to catastrophic failures in rails. This study aims to model the fatigue crack growth originating at the subsurface level within railheads. Towards that end, a finite element modeling approach is utilized wherein complex crack growth is explicitly modeled using a ...

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 3404-3419, August 2026.ABSTRACT In this study, the fracture response of polypropylene (PP) was assessed using J‐integral evaluation, J‐R curve construction, and fractography examination. J‐R and load–displacement curves were analyzed to determine critical loads and estimate J‐integral values based on standards established for polymer fracture testing, which led to the ...
