Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of fatigue issues affecting railways. It starts by considering fatigue at the wheel–rail interface, particularly the effect of dynamic loads on rails, bearings, axles, suspension and other components. It then reviews fatigue issues in vehicles such as body shells, engines, couplings and internal components. Finally, it considers fatigue in infrastructure such as bridges and signalling systems.
