This paper contains description of the results of investigations of the influence of the dynamic interaction, between the railway bogie running along the track on the "squat't-type crack development. The studies are performed by the use of computer simulation technique. The study is divided into two parts. The first part explains, how the vertical displacement of the wheel varies during the quasi-static rolling of the bo gie wheel along the cracked rail. In the second part of the paper, this displacements fluctuation is introduced to dynamic analysis. The histories of the wheel-rail force fluctuation during passage along the rail with the "squat'l-type crack were obtained as the result of dynamic analysis.}, type={Article}, title={Dynamics effects caused by the "squat" type of a crack in the rail treads}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/125017/PDF/3_MECHANICAL_50_2003_1_Olzak_Dynamics.pdf}, keywords={squat-type crack, crack in rail Treads, rail-wheel contact, dynamic contact force, railwaybogie-truch system}, }
