Meeting hosted by Material Center Leoben (MCL)
Leoben, 24-25 October 2016
The next ESIS TC24 workshop "Integrity of Railway Structures" will take place on 24th and 25th October 2016 at Materials Center Leoben (MCL),
Roseggerstrasse 12, A-8700 Leoben, Austria (www.mcl.at).
The workshop has provided an opportunity for the axle community to meet up again and to discuss results of previous projects and, especially, from EBFW3
aiming at the determination of inspection intervals based on a fatigue crack growth assessment (see EBFW3 for a project overview)
as well as any other ongoing activities. Other presentations about rails gave us the opportunity to hear new approaches in that area.
The list of presentations is shown below.
Written contributions will be published in Procedia Structural Integrity.
Final program 24th October h. 13.00
