The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2018 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. Railway vehicle manufacturers are focusing nowadays on building lighter vehicles, which are more environmental- A nd track-friendly. The article presents a methodology that was developed and is being proposed for the assessment and selection of materials for lightweight railway vehicles. The analysis methodology consists of a two level stages that consider different categories of key criteria. Example of analyses that were carried out on the basis of some of the most relevant criteria are presented along with specific recommendations regarding the potential use of various classes of materials in different applications, and subsequent conclusions.
