Soumyajit

Soumyajit’s current research includes investigation of a specific railway defect found commonly in heavy haul worn rail sections, operating under heavy axle loads in high curves. The current investigation will lead us to understand the causes of such defect initiation at such remote locations and provide suitable remedies to mitigate the problem.
