Fatigue Crack Growth under Non-Proportional Mixed Mode Loading in Rail and Wheel Steel Part 2: Sequential Mode I and Mode III Loading

Rolling contact fatigue cracks in rail and wheel undergo non-proportional mixed mode I/II/III loading. Fatigue tests were performed to determine the coplanar and branch crack growth rates on these materials. Sequential and overlapping mode I and III loading cycles were applied to single cracks in ro...
