Railway axle reliability is paramount to ensuring the safe operation of modern trains. Recent studies have focussed on understanding fatigue behaviour and crack propagation mechanisms in axle ...

Researchers have developed a simplified mathematical model (step-loading model, SLM) that unifies two earlier mechanisms to describe the velocity jump in crack propagation. Through SLM, they showed ...
