Triaxial residual strains in a railway rail measured by neutron diffraction

Accumulation of residual stresses in rails during service can contribute to crack initiation and fracture and may result in serious accidents. It is therefore necessary and important to quantify the residual stresses that evolve under repeated rolling contact between wheel and rail. In the present s...
