Abstract

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit, Ahead of Print.
Rail anchors contribute significantly to longitudinal track resistance and rail neutral temperature management, yet their slip behavior under realistic wear and loading conditions remains poorly quantified. This study presents a laboratory program to ...
