facilitate preemptive maintenance decisions, whereby a failure is prevented through timely …

In this paper, the fatigue life of pearlitic Grade 900A steel used in railway applications is
investigated. To predict the fatigue life of pearlitic Grade 900A steel based on the number of …

An innovative physics-guided learning algorithm for predicting the mechanical response of
materials and structures is proposed in this paper. The key concept of the proposed study is …

" Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is a pervasive and insidious problem on all types of railway
systems. Although it is a dominant cause of maintenance and replacements on heavy haul …

Scientists and engineers agree that solving complex problems requires integrating
traditional physics-based modeling techniques with state-of-the-art deep learning (DL) …

This work presents a study on the fatigue crack initiation in the presence of stratified surface
layers (SSL)–a combination of white and brown etching layer–on rail wheels. Reproducible …

This study evaluated the fatigue performance of rib-to-deck welded joints in orthotropic steel
decks (OSDs) with thickened edge U-ribs (TEUs). Fatigue performance of four rib-to-deck …
