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.
