- Additional information
- This is the first comparative test of wear and fatigue performance for large scale additive manufactured materials in rail applications. Controlled environment laboratory testing spanning expected service conditions generated data and understanding that became the foundation of EPSRC grant EP/M023044/1 to take the materials to field trials. Network Rail funded a iCASE student (2017-2021) to extend the technique for in-situ rail repair, also contracting Sheffield to extend the research (In2Track 2017-18) for railway crossing materials. Universities of Bristol (Professor Martyn Pavier) and Manchester (Dr Dirk Engelberg) have collaborated in EPSRC EP/M023044/1 furthering knowledge of the materials and their behaviour.
