Effect of the rail surface topography on wear and fatigue

open access: yes
This study is an investigation of the impact of grinding-generated surface roughness on the wear and fatigue life of rails. The grinding process, essential for rail maintenance, creates a rough surface that significantly influences wheel/rail contact ...

Moral Tolerance: The Ethics of Social Punishment in Cases of Moral Disagreement

open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In many practical contemporary contexts, people need to make correct ethical judgements about how to respond to perceived wrongdoing—in particular, whether to punish it or tolerate it. This judgement can be challenging when the wrongdoer does not accept the allegation of wrongdoing at the level of moral principle, holding that the type of ...

Simulation and Field Measurements of the Long-term Rail Surface Damage due to Plasticity, Wear and Surface Rolling Contact Fatigue Cracks in a Curve

open access: yes, 2022
A methodology that simulates the long-term rail surface damage in a cross-section of a curve for a given traffic scenario is presented. The numerical model considers plastic deformation, wear, and initiation of rolling contact fatigue (RCF) surface ...

Respirable Dust Exposure in Western Australian Mining: Trends, Variability, and Implications for Occupational Health

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 7, Page 540-547, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Mining workers are exposed to a range of respiratory hazards, including respirable dust. While exposure to respirable crystalline silica in the mining industry has been found to be common, less is known about trends in measured levels of exposure to respirable dust overall.
