When track components fail, the question often asked is why? FE analysis combined with fracture mechanics analysis provides ARRT with a powerful and persuasive means of answering such questions. From rationalizing the failure of rail and the resulting derailment to explaining why hi-rail vehicle wheels are falling off, ARRT’s experiences with failure analysis has enabled it to pioneer the development of several specifications currently used by railways worldwide.
