The main factors that reduce the quality of non-destructive testing of rails during high-speed scanning are considered. The most significant factors are the quality and volume of obtaining primary information about the condition of the monitored rails. It is shown that, at high-speed (up to 120 km/h) control, the compression of the defect location zone is clearly manifested and the length of the areas with acoustic contact violations increases. Analysis of real flaw diagrams of diagnostic complexes shows that with an increase in the scanning speed, the length of the location zone even from such large reflectors in the rails, such as bolt holes, significantly decreases. The average length of the instability zone of the bottom signal over the welded joints of the rails also increases significantly. The compression of the location zones of the reflectors can be compensated by expanding the aperture of the ultrasonic transducers. Improving the quality of the acoustic contact requires further improvement of the design of the search system and the systems for supplying the contacting liquid to the transducers, depending on the scanning speed. The Magnetic Flux Leakage(MFL) method can effectively detect defects in the rail head up to 20 mm deep at high speeds. Mathematical modeling of the magnetic flux in the controlled rails is performed. This allows us to start creating a new rail magnetization system with an increased interpole distance for high speeds. The introduction of modern methods for processing a significant flow of flaw detection information using neural networks requires the formation of a large sample base of training signals from real defects in different sections of rails. This is a complex task in its own right. For the first time, the issues of checking the operability of flaw detection devices in real control conditions are raised. Testing of ultrasonic equipment at high speeds is proposed to be carried out with the help of special electronic-acoustic simulators of defects. They are installed on different surfaces of the rails on which the diagnostic complexes pass. Operational quality control of ultrasonic rail inspection can be evaluated by statistical analysis of signal parameters from structural elements (bolt holes). The choice between the monitoring performance and the required reliability of detecting rail defects must be made based on the results of real passes of diagnostic complexes at operating scanning speeds.
Annotation A numerical calculation of the axisymmetric heat-stress state of the turbine disk was performed using the free Code_Aster software. Distributions of temperature, radial displacements, and also radial and axial stresses in the cross section of the disk are presented.
Рассмотрены возможности диагностических комплексов, размещенных на вагонах-дефектоскопах, при контроле рельсов со скоростью до 60 км/ч. Показана эффективность отдельных каналов комплексов, реализующих ультразвуковые методы отражения и прохождения при выявлении поперечных и продольных трещин в головке рельсов.Проанализирована значительная база данных реальных повреждений рельсов. Показано, что около 80 % дефектов в головке рельса – это трещины продольной ориентации, которые весьма неуверенно выявляются ультразвуковыми наклонными каналами.Впервые оценен вклад каждого из ультразвуковых и магнитных каналов дефектоскопических комплексов в обнаружение дефектов в головке рельсов. Ни один из ультразвуковых каналов по отдельности не обеспечивает обнаружение всех рассмотренных повреждений. Магнитный метод контроля с активной системой намагничивания рельсов при поиске дефектов в головке рельсов на глубине до 20-22 мм не уступает по эффективности ультразвуковым методам контроля. Наличие магнитного канала с активной системой намагничивания позволяет дополнительно обнаруживать на 26 % дефектов больше, чем при его отсутствии.Анализ сигналов от реальных дефектов еще раз подтвердил, что только комплексное применение ультразвуковых и магнитного методов контроля обеспечивает надежное и своевременное обнаружение опасных дефектов в рельсах.
