The determination of these intervals on the basis of probabilistic fracture mechanics is demonstrated for welded rails by S. Romano et al. , while the contribution by S. Kolitsch et al. discusses tolerance concepts for switches from a materials’ point of view . Finally, some insights into condition monitoring – one of the salient topics with a view towards condition-based maintenance – are given by U. Oßberger et al. Over the two days of the meeting, we have seen many interesting discussions. Our sincere thanks go to all participants and authors – it is them who make TC24 a success!
