An investigation on the influence of rotary bending and press fitting on stress intensity factors and fatigue crack growth in railway axles

Abstract: The present paper summarizes the results of fatigue crack growth investigations on a hollow railway axle which were performed as a joint research project between the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, and the GKSS Research Centre Geesthacht, Germany, in the frame of an ESIS-TC24 activity. Since no analytical K factors (SIF) solutions for semi-elliptical surface cracks in the S-transitions of railway axles were available, the first step in the research was to generate them for both reverse and rotary bending.

“…Madia et al [20], investigating the press fit effect on the T transition crack in another hollow axle geometry subjected to constant amplitude loading, even found a reduction in residual lifetime of a factor 4.2. The results clearly indicate that the T transition, compared to the wheel press fit crack, is the more critical position with respect to damage tolerance.…”
