Abstract: |
In this research, a rolling contact fatigue (RCF) caused crack the so-called head check (HC) was studied by the extended finite element method (X-FEM). The formation and treatment of these cracks is a major problem in the railway industry worldwide. The study aimed to explore the capabilities of the X-FEM concerning examinations of crack propagation in rolling contact conditions. The paper introduces the X-FEM from a practical point of view, with an emphasis on the application of the method, rather than focusing on the exact values. Results showed that the method can be used adequately for such complex issues as examination of crack propagation. However, the possibilities of this technique are quite limited in practice yet due to technical reasons. |
