Dudley was born in Oxford, New York, and owing to family circumstances, had to wait until 1867 before he could enter Yale College, supporting himself as a night editor on the New Haven Palladium newspaper.

He eventually earned a Ph.D. from the Sheffield Scientific School. "PhD" redirects here for other uses see PhD (disambiguation. Sheffield Scientific School was founded in 1847 as a school of Yale College in New Haven Connecticut for instruction in science and engineering [1]
In 1875 he became a chemist for the Pennsylvania Railroad and started to investigate the chemical composition and metallurgical structure of rail tracks, breakage being a major hazard at that time. Year 1875 ( MDCCCLXXV) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common The Pennsylvania Railroad was an American Railroad, founded in 1846 Metallurgy is a domain of Materials science that studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements, their intermetallic compounds, and their A fracture is the (local separation of an object or material into two or more pieces under the action of stress. [1] He discovered enormous variation in the properties and quality of steel and the 1878 publication of his results[2] caused an uproar in the steel industry who saw it as their sole domain to determine the quality of their products for sale.

He developed a complete range of standards for the Pennsylvania Railroad, not only for steel, but also for fuels, lubricants, paints, and even locomotives. Fuel is any material that is burned or altered in order to obtain energy A lubricant (sometimes referred to as a "Lube" is a substance (often a liquid introduced between two moving surfaces to reduce the Friction between them improving Paint is any Liquid, liquifiable or mastic composition which after application to a substrate in a thin layer is converted to an opaque Solid A locomotive is a railway Vehicle that provides the motive power for a Train.
