Fracture toughness of railway track material using finite element analysis

Railway track are used as way for carrying cargo or passengers from one place to another place. Nowadays, Malaysia still using the old railway line and accidents can happen at any time due to several factors, namely high density load of railroad rails, cracks due to vibration and friction wheel. The...
