Delft, Netherlands, Europe

This graduation projects aims to identify the influence of the specimen size on the residual stress distribution, develop a method to predict the residual stress distribution in the full rail based on a small specimen residual stress measurements and if required propose an experimental method to overcome this problem. To reach this goal, the use of (advanced) numerical models, as for instance the finite element method (FEM), are foreseen, complemented with a validation measurement.
