| Abstract | Based on the endeavors have been made to reduce the wear rate of the railway wheels surfaces, and increase in the axle loads and the velocity of the trains, rolling contact fatigue of the railway wheels is nowadays a considerable damage with regard to the railway wheels. The initiated cracks in the wheels are classified into surface and subsurface ones. The former are usually removed by wear, while the latter propagate gradually until reaching the critical crack length and then suddenly bring about dangerous fractures. So, in any maintenance process of a railway system, it is essential to have the critical crack length as a vital tool to determine the possibility of the critical condition occurrence in the case of identified cracks in wheels. The critical crack length is a residential value and should be determined for any railway systems. So, by using FEM, this paper models an Iranian Railways wheel having the diameter of 920mm, made of R7T material which has a subsurface crack. The wheel is in contact with UIC60 rail. After analysis of this model, rang of stress intensity factor of the crack has been calculated for the different rotation angles. Finally, the critical length of a subsurface crack in conformity with Iranian Railways has been determined based on the fracture mechanics and some approximate relations about mechanical properties. Results show that because of geometrical limitations of the wheel, a subsurface crack can cause the wheel fracture before reaching the critical length. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
