Additional information

The research was funded by the Rail Safety & Standards Board (project reference T355) and conduced in collaboration with Corus, ensuring good transfer of the findings to industry (staff now at Network Rail: Principal Engineer, Track & Civils). The mechanism of crack growth assumed since the 1930s to be responsible for safety critical cracks in railway rails is shown to be unlikely to act in the majority of cases, and more realistic alternatives are suggested. The Japanese Rail Technical Research Institute have requested information on the experimental techniques to support their research in this area (contact details available).
