Overview
With the rapid development of railway industry, especially the high speed railway, more and more challenges on the safety and reliability of critical structures, products and components arise, among which fatigue is the primary issue. During service, the infrastructures and rolling stock suffer extremely complex cyclic loading, which can lead to a series of fatigue problems. Some of these problems seriously threaten the railway operation safety and can even cause the loss of life and property. Though great efforts have been made by researchers from all over the world, there are still quite a lot of challenges and uncertainties particularly when developing the next generation high-speed transportation system.
This special issue intends to collect papers authored by researchers and practitioners on the fatigue of railway rolling stock and basic structures, and papers related to high speed railway are most welcome. Expected papers should cover the fatigue issues occurred in various types of railway vehicles or components such as wheel, axle, bogie frame, and vehicle and those infrastructure such as bridge, viaduct, tunnel, and track. The topics include, but are not limited to, experimental, analytical or theoretical, and computational researches on:
1. Failure mechanisms, crack initiation and growth in railway materials
2. Probabilistic fatigue assessment of railway materials and structures
3. Strengthening technologies on fatigue of railway materials and structures
4. Modeling the fatigue process into railway vehicle engineering
5. Fatigue performance and its degradation of railway structures and components
6. Fatigue assessment and anti-fatigue design of railway vehicle and infrastructure
7. Fatigue performance test identification and approval of key components
