Rail corrugation is a common problem of railway, where the failure of the fastener clip in the
corrugated section is serious. According to field investigations, a complete finite element …

The fastening system that links the rail and the sleeper in railway lines is an element of high
responsibility, since its failure may lead to the derailment of the train. This paper combines …

In order to study the influence of wheel-rail random dynamic interaction on the fatigue
damage for fastening clips, a three-dimensional (3-D) high-speed railway vehicle-track …

In this paper, the fastener clip in high-speed railway with the speed of 300–350 km/h is taken
as the research object, it studied the relationship among parameters such as high-speed rail …

As a critical component of railway fastening system, the elastic rail clip (e-clip) maintains the
rail position using its specified toe load. To understand its fatigue failure during service, the …

This article used a combined solution of ABAQUS and FE-SAFE to evaluate the performance
and predict the fatigue life of the e-clip (a widely used e-clip in the railway system) under …

In order to study the effects of wheel-rail impacts on the fatigue damage of the fastening clips
at the rail joints of a high-speed railway, field tests were carried out on the wheel-rail impacts …

The rail clip fastening system is an important structural component of railway track systems
providing flexibility and turnover resistance for running rails. High replacement frequency of …

Damage of rail fastening system often occurs due to severe vehicle-track dynamic
interactions. To evaluate the dynamic performance of the rail fastening system subject to …

To analyze the reasons for rail clip fracture, the characteristics of rail corrugation were first
measured using a rail corrugation meter. The vibration acceleration of the fastener clips at …
