In finite element (FE) simulations of a twin disc test of a wheel/rail contact, fatigue crack initiation criteria for elastic shakedown, plastic shakedown and ratchetting material responses were evaluated for a pearlitic rail steel BS11 normal grade. The Chaboche material model for nonlinear isotrop
