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

A new multiaxial high-cycle fatigue initiation life prediction model for railroad wheels is proposed in this paper. A general fatigue damage analysis methodology for complex mechanical components is developed and applied to the wheel/rail rolling contact fatigue problem. A 3-D elasto-plastic finite

In the following, some of the concepts discussed before afie assessed with respect to their ability to predict fatigue lives under variable amplitude loading. Typical trends of results are outlined.
