Damage evolution of slab tracks with complex temperature distribution by Yang Li, Kailin Cao, Jinjie Chen, Haiyan Li, Zhihao Yang, Guocui Wang

“…Finally, the study thoroughly examined the effects of variations of temperature distribution characteristics on the track's mechanical performance. Results show that: (1) Considering a vertical nonlinearity of 0.3 and a lateral gradient of 10 ℃/m can improve the maximum vertical displacement by 31.6 %. (2) The critical air temperature for interface damage initiation can be approximately 5 ℃ lower when the vertical nonlinearity and the lateral gradient are not considered than when they are considered. …”
