This paper gives a general introduction to fracture mechanics application to railway components as well as to the papers within this special issue. It is preluded by a brief discussion of various fracture control concepts such as safe-life, fail-safe and damage tolerance. Following this, an introduction to the most important damage tolerance issues of safety relevant railway components such as axles, wheels and rails is provided.
