RAAI Project: Life-prediction and prognostics for railway axles under corrosion-fatigue damage

This is the background for describing the development of a new prognostic tool within the RAAI EU-funded project. In details, the new tool relies on a new automated scanner able to efficiently analyse optical measurements of the corroded axle surface and a crack growth simulation tool tuned through full-scale measurements of axle corrosion-fatigue damage.
