3.

Investigate the microstructure, mechanical performance, fracture resistance and fatigue damage tolerance of Continuous Welded Rail-Joints (CWR).

The mechanical performance of the CWRs will be studied under overloading and static fracture tests.

The fatigue damage tolerance will be evaluated using fatigue crack growth experiments.
