ULTRASONIC CONTROL OF THE LOOSENING OF RAILWAY WHEEL RIMS

VERIFICA DELLO STATO DI ALLENTAMENTO DE CERCHIONI FERROVIARI MEDIANTE L'IMPIEGO DEGLI ULTRASUONI

A brief outline is given of the mechanical characteristics of forced keying of the rims; as well as the operating conditions which encourage their loosening and the present empirical methods of control. The principle of the propagation of ultra-sounds in forced contacts is then theoretically introduced, and on this principle is based the study which concludes with the presentation of a new method of control of the state of keying of wheel rims by means of ultra-sound.
