The rails are the supporting parts with which the wheels are in contact. Rails, as the heart of thernrailway system, are subjected to very high service loads and harsh environmental conditions.rnFatigue failure in rails can be initiated at the rail head, at the web and/or at the foot. The mainrnobjective of the study is analyzing fatigue on curved rail due to cyclic wheel load that causesrnfailures and determining fatigue life of rail in Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit. The fatiguernanalysis on curved rail route on going with 3D modelling on CATIA V5 software and importedrnto ANSYSv16 workbench software for finite element analysis. The analysis deals with therncurved rail route profile with fifty meter radius located at three places (stadium, saint lideta andrnautobistera) with working period during morning peak hour, day flat hour, and afternoon peakrnhour. During the analysis of wheel/rail contact in ANSYS software, the parameters have beenrnused are wheel vertical load, wheel lateral load, angular velocity and gravitational acceleration.rnFrom ANSYS workbench software result at stadium during afternoon peak hour is highlyrnexposed to the equivalent alternating stress, pressure distribution and fatigue damage than thernresult at saint lideta and autobistera. For this reason, the rail service life at stadium duringrnafternoon peak hour is small as compared to the rail service life at saint lideta and autobisterarncurved rail route location. On the curved rail at autobistera: the equivalent alternating stress,rnpressure distribution and fatigue damage is small in comparison to the curved rail at stadium andrnsaint lideta. The fatigue life will be better at autobistera.
