Methods of elimination of rails increased damage in the area of weld joints
Rail weld joints from electric-contact welding in stationary and fi eld conditions, as well as those from aluminothermic welding are weak points on tracks that are easily damaged compared with rails outside the weld joints.

Rail Track with Rail Compression
The problem of damping the noise on the track, arising from the movement of the train, is solved sufficiently but it is simple, if the rail with spacers is laid inside the longitudinally located band sleeper-mechanism. The result is a layered rail thread, consisting of belts: a rail tape with elastic spacers on three sides, a tie-mechanism tape and a ...

On improvement of calculations for strength of rails
From the middle of the last century, beginning with the works of Professor M. F. Verigo, rejection of yield strength at static loading and transition to the fatigue strength under cyclic loading were accepted and made as the main conceptual provisions in

Assessing Head Check Crack Growth by Eddy-Current Testing
Managing head checks is a crucial task for an infrastructure manager as in case of deep cracks, rails can break and, thus, accidents might be the consequence.

Rail Safety and Rail Privatization [PDF]
Abstract Privatisation of the state-owned British railway system was completed in 1997. The following 6 years saw four serious fatal train accidents, leading to 49 deaths. These were the train collisions at Southall in 1997 and Ladbroke Grove in 1999, each caused by trains passing red signals, and the derailments at Hatfield in 2000 and ...

Anti-slip control based on optimal slip ratio for heavy-haul locomotives
To solve the problem of wheelset slip and effectively exert locomotive traction, a protection method of anti-slip control with integral sliding mode based on optimal slip ratio is proposed.

Simplified Damage Assessment Tool for Rails and Crossings Based on Standard Wear and RCF Models
A numerical tool is proposed to simultaneously assess various damage mechanisms that are driven by contact loading. The tool transfers loads to the contact-patch level using three contact parameters: the maximum contact pressure (pmax), the creepage (c ...
