Abstract
The review analyzes a monograph published by Springer Vieweg publishing house, which presents scientific approaches to the problems of defect formation in railway rails. The advantages of the book under review include the analysis of statistical data on rail failures, description of test methods and damage diagnostics. The book discusses in detail the widely occurring types of contact-fatigue defects formed during operation in the rail head: internal longitudinal shelling, multiple parallel head checks, surface squats und studs in the middle of the rolling surface with a greater or lesser degree deformations
