Faults can develop on any of the aforementioned components, but the most common are related to wheel and axle bearing damages. The continuous increase in train operating speeds means that failure of an axle bearing can lead to very serious derailments, potentially causing human casualties, severe disruption in the operation of the network, damage to the tracks, unnecessary costs, and loss of confidence in rail transport by the general public. The rail industry has focused on the improvement of maintenance and online condition monitoring of rolling stock to reduce the probability of failure as much as possible. This paper discusses the results of onboard acoustic emission measurements carried out on freight wagons with artificially damaged axle bearings in Long Marston, UK. Acoustic emission signal envelope analysis has been applied as a means of effective tool to detect and evaluate the damage in the bearings considered in this study. From the results obtained it is safe to conclude that acoustic emission signal envelope analysis has the capability of detecting and evaluating faulty axle bearings along with their characteristic defect frequencies in the real-world conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100221,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation","volume":"6 ","pages":"Pages 8-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.csndt.2016.06.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82933119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AGR fuel pins are stainless steel cylindrical ribbed pipes of inner diameter of the rod being about 15 mm and wall thickness of about 300 μm. Spent AGR fuel pins are stored in a water pond and thus may be prone to corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking under adverse conditions. An ultrasonic immersion transducer with central frequency of 25 MHz was used to measure wall thickness of the AGR fuel cladding. The novelty of the approach consists in the usage of a frequency domain technique to measure the wall thickness combined with cylindrical ultrasonic scanning of the samples performed using an industrial robotic manipulator. The frequency domain approach could detect wall thicknesses in the range 96 μm to 700 μm with a resolution of about 10 μm. In addition to the frequency domain measurements, using conventional time domain techniques, it was possible to detect very short (2.5 mm long) and shallow (100 μm in depth) crack-like defects in the fuel cladding.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100221,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation","volume":"6 ","pages":"Pages 26-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.csndt.2016.08.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75551832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AM has gained significance due to its cost effective method which boasts the ability to produce components with a previously unachievable level of geometric complexity in prototyping and end user industrial applications, such as aerospace, automotive and medical industries. However these processes currently lack reproducibility and repeatability with some ‘prints’ having a high probability of requiring rework or even scrapping due to out of specification or high porosity levels, leading to failure due to structural stresses. It is therefore imperative that robust quality systems be implemented such that the waste level of these processes can be significantly decreased. This study presents an artefact that is optimised for characterisation of form using computed tomography (CT) with representative geometric dimensioning and tolerancing features and internal channels and structures comparable to cooling channels in heat exchangers. Furthermore the optimisation of the CT acquisition conditions for this artefact are presented in light of feature dimensions and form analysis.

One potential option under study here is the monitoring of the sodium temperature at the outlet of the core by using ultrasound. The main advantage of ultrasonic setups is that they can be used far from the intended subassemblies. The idea is to send an ultrasonic beam at grazing incidence towards the (cylindrical) subassembly head, and to measure the ultrasonic time of flight between the two diametrically opposite edges, in order to estimate the mean temperature across the subassembly outlet diameter. Moreover, the grazing incidence could allow considering the simultaneous temperature monitoring of several aligned subassemblies. One of the main points to be considered is the interaction between the ultrasonic beam and the immersed target, which involves specular reflection and/or diffraction, both phenomena depending on the incidence angle and the target geometry. The present paper investigates this interaction, mainly from an experimental point of view. Different geometries of “2D” (plate) and “3D” (tube) edges are tested and compared under various incidence angles. The final aim is to identify an optimal ultrasonic configuration to perform thermometry at the outlet of an immersed tube.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100221,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation","volume":"6 ","pages":"Pages 38-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.csndt.2016.09.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84322463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
