New Technology Could Transform Every Train into A High Speed Cracked Rail Detector
Researchers in the University of Warwick's Department of Physics have developed a novel non-contact method of using ultrasound to detect and measure cracks and flaws in rail track - particularly gauge corner cracking - that has the potential to simply be attached to a normal passenger or freight train travelling at high speeds. Current ultrasonic... view more... (2004-07-05)
