EIBFW-III - Description and aims of the new project (H. P. Ganser, MCL Leoben, Austria) Closure A Special Issue containing the more relevant presentations will appear onto Int. J. Fatigue. Estimated closing time: 13.15 TC24 was established within ESIS in 2004 under the chair of Prof. Schwalbe, after an initial series of successful meetings. From 2006 to 2010, the chairmen were then Prof. R. Smith and Prof. U. Zerbst. Since 2010, the chairmen are Prof. S. Beretta and Prof. R. Smith. The material presented during the last TC24 meetings, is available at: http://esistc24.mecc.polimi.it/ MOTIVATION The opportunity of the meeting is offered by the results obtained in the frame of European projects (EURAXLES, SUSTRAIL) and other projects on novel concepts for fatigue design and durability of railway axles, which can represent a significant advance and challenge to current practices. Moreover, new interesting outcomes about maintenance and inspections will be presented. Initiation of fretting fatigue in press fits (IWM, Germany) Dynamic torsional loads on wheelsets Recent findings for the assessment (M. Traupe, DB, Germany) Panel discussion on potential improvements for design procedures Estimated closing time: 18.00
