“…Many researchers also have tried to integrate the flexible technique with these two kinds of systems for novel and more convenient monitoring. For example: Ni [28,29], Zhang [30] and Park [31] have developed RFID, PVDF and macro-fiber composite (MFC) based sensor arrays for rail damage monitoring. However, the shortcomings are still obvious: (a) a single active monitoring mechanism: the ignored passive rail vibration contains a lot of useful local and global information related to rail health status.…”

A passive monitoring technique for switch rails will be very attractive because it does not require extra excitations and can realize large area monitoring. However, complex wheel-rail interactions and sparse sensors will affect the accuracy of local damage identification. In contrast, an active monitoring technique has high local damage quantification ability but has low efficiency for large area monitoring. This study firstly presents a combination of piezoceramic material Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) wafers with accelerometers to configure a multifunctional sensor array that brings together active and passive monitoring mechanisms. The multifunctional sensor arrays are produced in a flexible form, which are adapted to complex geometry and are easy to install. In complementary passive monitoring, each sub area's health state between 2 accelerometers is represented by reconstructing transfer functions, which are calculated from rail vibrations. The reconstructed transfer function in conjunction with principal component analysis (PCA)-based feature extraction is utilized for estimating the damaged sub area. Then accurate local damage identification can be realized through the active guided waves technique and correlation-based diagnostic imaging in conjunction with singular value decomposition (SVD). Simulation and experimental studies show the proposed mechanisms can identify the damaged sub area and basically extract damage locations with different lengths correctly with the sparse sensor array. Finally, based on a controlled experiment, the causes of the errors are evaluated and analyzed. The proposed mechanism can simplify data analysis, save monitoring time, and decrease the final cost.

Eklemeli imalat, geleneksel üretim yöntemlerine göre nesnelerin katman katman üretildiği yenilikçi bir yöntemidir. Son yıllarda eklemeli imalatın kullanım alanları hızla artmaktadır. Bu imalat yönteminin birçok sektörde olduğu gibi demiryolu sektöründe de kullanım potansiyeli yüksektir. Demiryolu endüstrisinde eklemeli imalatın genel olarak; demiryolu altyapısında ve demiryolu üstyapısında, demiryolu araçlarında kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Eklemeli imalatın özellikle parçaların özelleştirilmesine olanak tanıması, karmaşık parçaların üretimi ve tasarım özgürlüğü, hızlı prototipleme, malzeme tasarrufu, düşük üretim maliyeti gibi avantajları, demiryolu endüstrisinde ve diğer endüstrilerde kullanımının yaygınlaşmasına olanak sağlamaktadır. Eklemeli imalatın malzeme sınırlamaları ve üretim hızı gibi bazı sınırlamaları olsa da, bu avantajların sunduğu imkanlar birçok alanda yeniliği teşvik etmektedir. Bu çalışmayla, demiryolu endüstrisi ve eklemeli imalat hakkında genel bilgiler verilmiştir. Ayrıca, eklemeli imalatın demiryolu endüstrisinde kullanımı ve kullanıldığı alanlar hakkında inceleme yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, araştırmacılar için eklemeli imalatın demiryolu endüstrisinde hangi alanlarda kullanıldığı, hangi alanlarda ise kullanımının eksik olduğunun görülmesi ile kullanım alanının geliştirilmesi sağlanmaya çalışılmıştır.
