The paper presents semi-analytical approaches to the method of evaluating strain-stress mode of railway rails when a part of the solution is in the form of ramp functions whose rate of change cannot be adequately considered using the standard method of finite elements. The proposed model of a multipoint boundary value problem allows for effective evaluation of the rail’s work against the changing of its profile, i.e. due to its wear.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
