Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference article › peer-review

Abstract

Associated Utility Supplies (AUS) Ltd conducted a design and development project which investigated the current failure modes of hook and eye fittings, the projected resulted in a new design with improved product life, wear resistance, performance, and reliability. Test results demonstrated that the new design exceeded the loading requirements defined by the technical authority and this project has resulted in a live trial on the UK rail network.
