• Abstract:
  This report is the first in a three-part series describing the technical contributions of the ; Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Volpe National Transportation Systems ; Center (Volpe Center) to the UIC/WEC (International Union of Railways/World Executive ; Council) joint research project on Rail Defect Management. Specifically, this report ; describes engineering analyses that are used to examine the growth of internal rail defects ; that were tested under laboratory conditions. The second report in this series describes ; similar engineering analyses that were conducted to examine the growth of internal rail ; defects tested under field conditions. The third report discusses applications of the rail ; defect modelling efforts.
