DEVELOPMENT OF APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE LONGITUDINAL FORCES IN RAILS LAID IN THE TRACK. PRELIMINARY SELECTION OF TECHNIQUES FOR DETERMINING LONGITUDINAL RAIL FORCES

This report gives the results of the assessment of the techniques for determining longitudinal rail forces. On the basis of both the theoretical and the experimental studies carried out by the Committee the conclusions and recommendations for subsequent development of these techniques are drawn up. Three methods are proposed for further development: magnetic parameters method; Magneto-mechanical acoustic emission; and rail flexural response.
