On the influence of microstructural gradients in the fatigue lifetime estimation of a railway axle

This study aims at characterizing the influence of gradients at different scales (loading, geometry, microstructure...) on fatigue strength through a multi-scale finite element modeling associated to several high cycle fatigue criteria. This is a necessary step in the perspective of conducting a rel...
