1. Effective vibro-acoustical modelling of rubber isolators
Abstract : This thesis, gathering four papers, concerns the enhancement in understanding and modelling of the audible dynamic stiffness of vibration rubber isolators including experimental measurements. Paper A studies the performances of three different types of vibration isolator using an indirect measurement technique to estimate the blocked dynamic transfer stiffness of each specimen. READ MORE

2. Modeling and experimental characterization of pearlitic rail steels subjected to large biaxial strains
Abstract : Large shear strains develop in the near-surface region under the running band of railway rails. Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) cracks often initiate in this region, causing major problems for the railway industry. However, characterization of the constitutive and fatigue behavior of this region is difficult due to the large gradient of properties. READ MORE

3. Modeling and experimental characterization of large biaxial strains and induced anisotropy in pearlitic rail steel
Abstract : Large shear strains accumulate in the near-surface region under the running band of railway rails. In this region, rolling contact fatigue cracks often initiate, causing major problems for the railway industry. READ MORE

4. Effect of large shear deformation on fatigue crack behavior in pearlitic rail steel
Abstract : The impacts from global warming and climate change continue to rise and securing the needs of future generations requires a transition to a climate-neutral society. Rail transportation, as being one of the safest and most energy efficient modes of transportation offers a sustainable alternative to fossil-fueled based transportation. READ MORE

5. Temperature Stability of Railway Wheel Steels - Influence on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties
Abstract : Being the single component transferring load and traction from the vehicle to the rail, the selection of materials and structural properties of railway wheels are critical. Carbon steel with a pearlitic microstructure is the most commonly used material due to its high strength, low cost and good wear properties. READ MORE
