Visual Inspection of Railroad Tracks
In this dissertation, we have developed computer vision methods for measurement of rail gauge, and reliable identification and localization of structural defects in railroad tracks. The rail gauge is the distance between the innermost sides of the two parallel steel rails. We have developed two methods for evaluation of rail gauge. These methods were designed for different hardware setups: the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Service-induced Residual Stresses in Railroad Commuter Car Wheels
Analyses of the effects of service conditions on the distribution of residual stresses in railroad commuter car wheels are presented. Novel software has been applied to estimate the effects of service conditions on the as-manufactured state of these wheels. Contact loads resulting from wheel and rail interaction and thermal loads from on-tread braking are considered. Results indicate that conta...
متن کاملAre Maintenance Practices for Railroad Tracks Effective?
The Association of American Railroads wished to determine the effect of a maintenance practice known as grinding on the occurrence of rail fatigue defects and on the subsequent total traffic usage before a track must be replaced. Because a designed experiment was not practical, an analysis of historical data from the Canadian Northern Railroad is presented. In the analysis, certain covariate da...
متن کاملElement Duplication Centre Problem and Railroad Tracks Recognition
In this paper we describe an approach to solve the element duplication centre problem. Our approach is based on constructing logical models for considered problem.
متن کاملResidual Stresses Measurement in Hollow Samples Using Contour Method
Residual stresses are created usually undesirably during manufacturing processes, including casting, welding, metal forming, etc. Residual stresses alone or in combination with other factors can cause the destruction and fracture of components or significant decline in their service life. Therefore, it is crucial to measure the residual stresses. Contour method is a destructive testing method c...
