Significance of a detection of defects in rails

Non-Destructive Testing, 1970
Abstract The article describes the principal types of defects which may be found in rails, and indicates those which are inherent in the manufacturing processes and those which arise as a result of service loads. The principles of resonance and pulse-echo ultrasonic flaw detection as applied to rails are given, and the current ultrasonic testing ...

Rail defects: an overview

Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures, 2003
ABSTRACTFor about 150 years, the steel rail has been at the very heart of the world's railway systems. The rail works in a harsh environment and, as part of the track structure, it has little redundancy; thus, its failure may lead to catastrophic derailment of vehicles, the consequences of which can include death, injury, costs and loss of public ...

A NEW CLASSIFICATION OF RAIL DEFECTS

DYNA, 2020
The railway industry has been developed from the second decade of XIX century till the modern high speed lines we have now in these days or the heavy haul corridors which can be found in Russian Federation, Brazil, China, Australia o United States. It has been more than two centuries of continuous improvements, developments and innovations like no ...

Automatic detection of defective rail anchors

17th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC), 2014
Rail line anchors/fasteners are the metallic components that attach each line with the sleepers. These are essential rail components as absence of these often result in derailments. Therefore in order to prevent dangerous situations and ensuring safety rail lines are periodically inspected.

A Visual Detection System for Rail Surface Defects

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part C (Applications and Reviews), 2012
Discrete surface defects are the most common anomalies of rails and they should be carefully inspected. However, it is a challenge to detect such defects in a vision system because of illumination inequality and the variation of reflection property of rail surfaces.

Morphological Detection and Extraction of Rail Surface Defects

IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2020
Rail inspection by means of a visual system has been a subject of a number of publications in recent years. The main requirements with regard to such a system are that it has to be fast, nondestructive, and accurate. This article presents a system for rail defect detection and shape extraction utilizing morphological operations.

Electromagnetic Tomography Rail Defect Inspection

IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, 2015
With the train’s speed improving, and running interval time decreasing, traditional rail defect inspection methods cannot meet the efficiency requirement of railway industrial standards. In this paper, we propose a new online rail defect inspection method which is using electromagnetic tomography (EMT) technique.

A dual-rail compact defect-tolerant multiplexer

Microelectronics Reliability, 2015
Abstract As the dimensions of CMOS devices scale down to the nanometers, manufacturing defects are becoming a challenging concern in current and future technologies. This work aims at improving defect tolerance in FPGAs which are certainly affected by technology downsizing.

Dynamic Wheel–Rail Interaction Over Rail Squat Defects

Acoustics Australia, 2015
Dynamic interaction between wheel and rail generates vibration and acoustic radiations transmitted through other media such as structural track systems, air, and rolling stock. Noteworthy, both wheel and rail irregularities often induce additional impact vibration and noise along the rail corridor.
