摘要

A novel concept based on the Doppler effect was introduced for continuous monitoring of rail defects at high speed. This approach exploits the relative motion between the propagating ultrasound and the rail defect. It was shown from the feasibility tests that low frequency air-coupled transducers can be effectively used for detecting rail surface defects, thereby eliminating contact between the transducers and rail surface. The feasibility of this technique was experimentally studied and verified in a laboratory setting. In a test conducted using a rotating disk with a notch on the periphery, the Doppler effect was clearly observed. The continuous wave ultrasonic signals are reflected from the surface notch, resulting in Doppler shift in the as-obtained waveform. Due to the narrow bandwidth of the signal, the magnitude of the shifted frequency was clearly pronounced in the frequency spectrum. The shift was experimentally detected in the frequency domain using the Short-Time Fourier Tranform and peak-detecting the transformed signals. It is believed from this feasibility test that CW Doppler can be used as an effective means of high-speed rail monitoring, particularly for detecting surface defects and broken rails. For the future work, a criterion to set a threshold magnitude of the peak-dected STFT should be established. Once the threshold is determined, the system can be designed to issue an alarm when the peak magnitude exceeds the threshold value. This condition may indicate any surface anomalies and thus can be used as a criterion for the alarm. More importantly, further investigation is necessary for monitoring internal defects which may also seriously affect the rail integrity.
