Summary:

This articles studies the formation of residual stress in low carbon bainitic-martensitic rail wheels using a commercially available finite-element (FE) model to promote the development of compressive residual stress in the rail wheels.

How was DANTE Used?:

DANTE and ABAQUS were the finite-element (FE) that was used for modeling in this study with the results also added into the DANTE material library afterwards.
