Abstract
Three sectors of a damaged disc-braked railway wheel with a flat spot and a macro-crack parallel to the tread were investigated. Differences in the radial strain distribution between the sector containing the crack and the undamaged sector were found. At crack positions the tensile strain is higher than at comparable positions in the undamaged sector. The strain in the sector with the flat spot is lower than in the other two sectors.
