Weld defect formation in rail thermite welds
A previously developed heat transfer model is used to study the influence of welding parameters on weld defect development in thermite welds. Weld defect formation maps are constructed from a series of heat transfer simulations. For the current normal rail thermite welding conditions, it is found that shrinkage cavity formation can be avoided but cold-lap and centre-line defects are likely to o...
متن کاملCondition-based maintenance optimization considering improving prediction accuracy
Condition based maintenance (CBM) aims to reduce maintenance cost and improve equipment reliability by effectively utilizing condition monitoring and prediction information. It is observed that the prediction accuracy often improves with the increase of the age of the component. In this research, we develop a method to quantify the remaining life prediction uncertainty considering the predictio...
متن کاملCondition-based Maintenance Optimization Using Neural Network-based Health Condition Prediction
Artificial neural network (ANN) based methods have been extensively investigated for equipment health condition prediction. However, effective condition based maintenance (CBM) optimization methods utilizing ANN prediction information are currently not available due to two key challenges: (1) ANN prediction models typically only give a single remaining life prediction value, and it is hard to q...
متن کاملCondition-based Maintenance Modelling
The use of condition monitoring techniques within industry to direct maintenance actions has increased rapidly over recent years to the extent that it has marked the beginning of what is likely to prove a new generation in production and maintenance management practice. There are both economic and technological reasons for this development driven by tight profit margins, high outage costs and a...
متن کاملDefect detection of the weld bead based on electromagnetic sensing
Characterization of flaws of weld bead is imperative for high-quality welding. Methods of weld bead inspection include radiographic, ultrasonic and vision inspection. However, such methods are costly and time consuming. The proposed sensor is light, low-cost and fast. This paper summarizes our work on weld bead monitoring and defect detection using an electromagnetic sensor. Measurements are ac...
