An Ultrasonic technology Study for the Subsurface Defect in Railway Wheel Tread
نویسندگان
چکیده
The subsurface defect in the wheel tread caused from Rolling Stock Fatigue (RCF) has become more danger in high speed railway. The conventional UT and phased array UT have deficiency to find the subsurface defect from the tread surface because of limitation of ultrasonic near field. In this paper, the subsurface defect is studied by simulation and experimental results with ultrasonic technique. Two typical probes, TR and angle probe are employed and some parameters are optimized. The experiments on real wheel with nature subsurface defect are carried out and the results show that it can compensate for conventional ultrasonic technology to improve the Possibility of detection (POD) in the railway wheel.

متن کاملPreliminary results on multi-body dynamic simulation of a new test rig for wheel-rail contact
The ability to perform rolling contact fatigue (RCF) experiments in wheel–rail material is provided by a new small–scale test rig, manifesting the actual dynamic behaviour of the railway system. In this paper, a multi-body dynamics (MBD) model is proposed, simulating the vibration behaviour of the prescribed rig. The new testing facility is modelled using a three-dimensional model of the vehicl...
متن کاملEffects of the Bogie and Body Inertia on the Nonlinear Wheel-set Hunting Recognized by the Hopf Bifurcation Theory
Nonlinear hunting speeds of railway vehicles running on a tangent track are analytically obtained using Hopf bifurcation theory in this paper. The railway vehicle model consists of nonlinear primary yaw dampers, nonlinear flange contact stiffness as well as the clearance between the wheel flange and rail tread. Linear and nonlinear critical speeds are obtained using Bogoliubov method. A compreh...
