• 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.
