摘要: The risk for initiation of fatigue cracks in the rail head and web weld zone a is studied. interaction between welding residual stress field caused by service loads simulated nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis where distribution (shape) magnitude, load magnitude material parameters used life estimation are varied. assessed using shear-stress-based multiaxial criterion proposed Dang Van, propagation carried out Paris-type crack growth law. A discussion presented interpretation Van to assess stress–response cycles with low shear amplitudes high hydrostatic levels. In addition, accuracy assessment evaluated statistical uncertainty variances according Gauss approximation formula web, respectively, enhanced due stress, level dominates assessments.
