摘要: 铁路轨道与车轮长期滚动接触,容易产生疲劳裂纹,导致钢轨表面剥离甚至钢轨断裂等严重问题,因此开展裂纹尺寸、扩展深度以及裂纹形状的检测与定量表征具有重要意义。设计搭建了采用阵列式传感器交流电磁场检测技术(Alternating current field measurement,ACFM)的钢轨裂纹检测系统。结合检测信号等值线彩色图研究了不同长度、不同深度、不同形状(簇状、Y形和W形)裂纹对ACFM信号的影响规律,分析了裂纹形状对交流电磁场检测信号影响机理。研究结果表明:随着裂纹长度与深度的增加,Bx信号谷值减小,Bz信号出现越来越明显的双极值特征,蝶形图中缺陷环面积逐渐增加,表明裂纹引起的磁场扰动逐渐变大,Bz信号相比Bx信号对裂纹长度与深度的变化更敏感;随簇状裂纹条数的增加,裂纹周围的BxBz信号强度逐渐增加,Bx信号波峰位置的连线可反应裂纹走向;W形裂纹的Bx信号出现了三个极值,Bz信号出现了对称分布的极值特征;Y形裂纹的Bx信号出现了六个极值,Bz信号出现了四个极值。利用阵列式传感器ACFM信号的等值线彩色图可实现对复杂形状裂纹的识别和表征。

Abstract: Long-term rolling contact between rail and wheel can easily cause rail fatigue cracks, leading to serious problems such as rail surface peeling and even rail fracture. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out the detection and quantitative characterization of crack size, propagation depth and crack shape. A rail crack detection system with array sensors based on the alternating current field measurement (ACFM) technology was designed and built. The influence law of different crack depths, lengths and shapes (Cluster-shaped, Y-shaped and W-shaped) on the ACFM signal were studied by using the contour color map of the detection signal. The influence mechanism of the crack shape on the ACFM signal was analyzed. The research results indicate that as the length and depth of cracks increase, the valley value of the Bx signal decreases, and the Bz signal shows more and more obvious characteristic of two extreme values. The area of the defect ring in the butterfly plot gradually increases, it indicates that the magnetic field disturbance caused by cracks gradually increases. Compared with the Bx signal, the Bz signal is more sensitive to changes of crack length and depth. As the number of clustered cracks increases, the signal intensity of Bx and Bz around the cracks gradually increases. And, the line connecting the peak position of Bx signal can reflect the direction of cracks. For the W-shaped crack, the Bx signal shows three extreme values, the Bz signal shows symmetrically distributed extreme values. For the Y-shaped crack, the Bx signal shows six extreme values, the Bz signal shows four extreme values. The contour color map of the ACFM signal from array sensors can be used to identify and characterize the complex shapes of cracks.

Key words: rail cracks, ACFM, crack size, crack shape, array sensors
