MME was engaged to perform failure analysis pertaining
to a train derailment that was initiated by a fatigue
fracture of a single car axle after preliminary
investigation by several parties failed to reveal a
singular root cause. MME undertook a comprehensive
investigation involving metallurgical, mechanical and
structural engineers as well non-destructive testing
specialists. The results of MME’s investigation
identified a number of factors, that, when acting in
conjunction, were responsible for the derailment. |
