MEASURING DEVICE FOR CORRUGATION

CONGEGNO PER LA COMMISURAZIONE DELL'USURA ONDULATORIA

Description of a method for measuring rail corrugation by means of direct measurement of the differences in level between the ridges and cavities of the wear. An oscillating frame with a natural low frequency has been designed for the purpose. The article also gives an account of theoretical study of the system dynamics, and includes results of tests carried out on laboratory models.
