NEW ULTRASONIC MODELS OF EMBEDDED AND SURFACE-BREAKING CRACKS

New mathematical models have been recently developed for modelling scatter of high-frequency longitudinal and transverse waves from embedded smooth and rough (corrosion) cracks as well as scatter of the Rayleigh waves from surface-breaking cracks. The models can be used to improve the existing capabilities of detecting and sizing safety compromising cracks in rails and train wheels using piezo-electric transducers. For the covering abstract see ITRD E123761.
