Ultrasonic imaging of buried defects in rails

open access: yesNDT & E International, 2023
The present work addresses the ultrasonic NDT of rails, more precisely of the rail foot. The practical constraint is that transducers must be located on the rail head, whereas the region of interest is the rail foot. Thus, there is no direct acoustic path between the transducers and the region of interest.

Adaptive noise cancelling and time–frequency techniques for rail surface defect detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Adaptive noise cancelling (ANC) is a technique which is very effective to remove additive noises from the contaminated signals. It has been widely used in the fields of telecommunication, radar and sonar signal processing.

Image segmentation method of rail head defects and area measurement of selected segments [PDF]

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences
The operation safety of railway transport, which is the most important economic and social factor, is largely determined by the technical condition of the rail track and measures to maintain the quality of its track management system.

THE RESEARCH OF THE RAILWAY RAIL FOR ANALYSIS OF SURFACE INITIATED ROLLING CONTACT FATIGUE CRACKS

open access: yesMechanics and Advanced Technologies, 2020
Problems. Under the influence of dynamic loading from trains and natural conditions, the railway track deteriorates, characterized by the appearance of defects and residual deformations of the railway track, which lead to accelerated wear and malfunction

Data fusion for defect characterisation using a dual probe system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present recent work on a dual probe system containing electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) generating and detecting surface ultrasonic waves, and a pulsed eddy current (PEC) probe.

A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.

Rail-to-ground Insulation Defect Diagnosis Method Based on Spatiotemporal Correlation of Rail Potential

open access: yesChengshi guidao jiaotong yanjiu
Objective The data of various monitoring points regarding rail potential as monitoring object is correlated in time and space, and the direct manifestation of changes in rail-to-rebar structural resistance is reflected in rail potential variation.
