Rail defect control: Methodology for modelling the effects of ultrasonic inspection period (RR-STR-95-115)

Last updated on 20 December 2013 10:58

A general methodology is presented for modelling the effects of ultrasonic inspection period on the breakage rate of defective rails. Fracture mechanics are used to predict the growth of a defect from a size below the detection threshold until breakage or removal occurs. To reflect the statistical variation in the...
