Kurzfassung englisch:
This contribution presents a hybrid analytical-numerical analysis of the thermo-mechanical fatigue behavior of heavy duty railway wheels. The wheels were repeatedly frictionally disk-braked at random sequences of time instants. As the loading was rather severe, the stresses during braking and subsequent cooling reached the plastic limits in compression and tension, respectively. Hence, the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks was observed. This paper addresses the behavior of these cracks under severe service conditions including residual stresses, and discusses the conditions for fatigue crack extension as well as the possibility to arrest these cracks. Finally safety issues and safe life time diagrams are presented.
