a b s t r a c t Fluid penetration of cracks has been regarded as an important mechanism of crack growth for inclined surface breaking cracks under contact loading since the 1930s. However, there are only limited cases in which it is realistic to assume fluid is sealed in and pressurised by wheels cr
Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) failure is a permanent and quite severe problem and hence of major concern to the modern railway industry. The selection of rail material should be based on a well-founded understanding of RCF. An analysis of the chemical composition, mechanical performance and microstr
