Under the Tank Car Fatigue Crack Growth Test program, the Association of American Railroads performed over-the-road tests, impact tests, perturbed track tests, quasi-static and cyclic Mini-shaker Unit vertical coupler loading tests, and a 300,000-mile accelerated-rate Simuloader fatigue test on a Department of Transportation 111A100W1 tank car. In addition, fractographic analysis of cracked tank car head pad samples obtained in the field and laboratory specimen crack growth tests were conducted.
