Detection and Classification System for Rail Surface Defects Based on Eddy Current.

ABSTRACT: The prospect of growth of a railway system impacts both the network size and its occupation. Due to the overloaded infrastructure, it is necessary to increase reliability by adopting fast maintenance services to reach economic and security conditions. In this context, one major problem is the excessive friction caused by the wheels. This contingency may cause ruptures with severe consequences. While eddy's current approaches are adequate to detect superficial damages in metal structures, there are still open challenges concerning automatic identification of rail defects. Herein, we propose an embedded system for online detection and location of rails defects based on eddy current. Moreover, we propose a new method to interpret eddy current signals by analyzing their wavelet transforms through a convolutional neural network. With this approach, the embedded system locates and classifies different types of anomalies, enabling an optimization of the railway maintenance plan. Field tests were performed, in which the rail anomalies were grouped in three classes: squids, weld and joints. The results showed a classification efficiency of ~98%, surpassing the most commonly used methods found in the literature.

Conductivity Classification of Non-Magnetic Tilting Metals by Eddy Current Sensors.

Project description:Metallic waste classification benefits the environment, resource reuse and industrial economy. This paper provides a fast, non-contact and convenient method based on eddy current to classify metals. The characteristic phase to characterize different conductivity is introduced and extracted from mutual inductance in the form of amplitude and phase. This characteristic phase could offer great separation for non-tilting metals. Although it is hard to classify tilting metals by only using the characteristic phase, we propose the technique of phase compensation utilizing photoelectric sensors to obtain the rectified phase corresponding to the non-tilting situation. Finally, we construct a classification algorithm involving phase compensation. By conducting a test, a 95 % classification rate is achieved.

Noninvasive transcranial classification of stroke using a portable eddy current damping sensor.

Project description:Existing paradigms for stroke diagnosis typically involve computed tomography (CT) imaging to classify ischemic versus hemorrhagic stroke variants, as treatment for these subtypes varies widely. Delays in diagnosis and transport of unstable patients may worsen neurological status. To address these issues, we describe the development of a rapid, portable, and accurate eddy current damping (ECD) stroke sensor. Copper wire was wound to create large (11.4 cm), medium (4.5 cm), and small (1.5 cm) solenoid coils with varying diameters, with each connected to an inductance-to-digital converter. Eight human participants were recruited between December 15, 2019 and March 15, 2020, including two hemorrhagic stroke, two ischemic stroke, one subarachnoid hemorrhage, and three control participants. Observers were blinded to lesion type and location. A head cap with 8 horizontal scanning paths was placed on the patient. The sensor was tangentially rotated across each row on the patient's head circumferentially. Consent, positioning, and scanning with the sensor took roughly 15 min from start to end for each participant and all scanning took place at the patient bedside. The ECD sensor accurately classified and imaged each of the varying stroke types in each patient. The sensor additionally detected ischemic and hemorrhagic lesions located deep inside the brain, and its range is selectively tunable during sensor design and fabrication.

A Steel Ball Surface Quality Inspection Method Based on a Circumferential Eddy Current Array Sensor.

Project description:To efficiently inspect surface defects on steel ball bearings, a new method based on a circumferential eddy current array (CECA) sensor was proposed here. The best probe configuration, in terms of the coil quality factor (Q-factor), magnetic field intensity, and induced eddy current density on the surface of a sample steel ball, was determined using 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-coil probes, for analysis and comparison. The optimal lift-off from the measured steel ball, the number of probe coils, and the frequency of excitation current suitable for steel ball inspection were obtained. Using the resulting CECA sensor to inspect 46,126 steel balls showed a miss rate of ~0.02%. The sensor was inspected for surface defects as small as 0.05 mm in width and 0.1 mm in depth.

Eddy current and coupled landscapes for nonadiabatic and nonequilibrium complex system dynamics.

Project description:Physical and biological systems are often involved with coupled processes of different time scales. In the system with electronic and atomic motions, for example, the interplay between the atomic motion along the same energy landscape and the electronic hopping between different landscapes is critical: the system behavior largely depends on whether the intralandscape motion is slower (adiabatic) or faster (nonadiabatic) than the interlandscape hopping. For general nonequilibrium dynamics where Hamiltonian or energy function is unknown a priori, the challenge is how to extend the concepts of the intra- and interlandscape dynamics. In this paper we establish a theoretical framework for describing global nonequilibrium and nonadiabatic complex system dynamics by transforming the coupled landscapes into a single landscape but with additional dimensions. On this single landscape, dynamics is driven by gradient of the potential landscape, which is closely related to the steady-state probability distribution of the enlarged dimensions, and the probability flux, which has a curl nature. Through an example of a self-regulating gene circuit, we show that the curl flux has dramatic effects on gene regulatory dynamics. The curl flux and landscape framework developed here are easy to visualize and can be used to guide further investigation of physical and biological nonequilibrium systems.

Safety evaluation of rail transit vehicle system based on improved AHP-GA.

Project description:The rail transit vehicle system is an important subsystem with the most frequent operation accidents and the most direct impact on passengers. Based on the particularity of the vehicle system and the complexity of the system, the hierarchical analysis method (AHP) is used to evaluate its safety. High-order judgment matrix often has inconsistency, and the judgment matrix consistency guarantee is the key to the hierarchical analysis method applied. Based on the hierarchical analysis principle, this paper corrects the inconsistency judgment matrix and realizes the optimization calculation based on the genetic algorithm. This paper constructs a vehicle system safety evaluation index system including 26 indexes at three layers and uses the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to evaluate the system safety level. The results show that the calculation results based on the improved AHP-GA are significantly better than that based on the conventional AHP method. The comprehensive evaluation conclusion of the case is "average", and the safety level of the vehicle system of the case enterprise needs to be strengthened.

Pulsed Eddy Current Sensing for Critical Pipe Condition Assessment.

Project description:Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) sensing is used for Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) of the structural integrity of metallic structures in the aircraft, railway, oil and gas sectors. Urban water utilities also have extensive large ferromagnetic structures in the form of critical pressure pipe systems made of grey cast iron, ductile cast iron and mild steel. The associated material properties render NDE of these pipes by means of electromagnetic sensing a necessity. In recent years PEC sensing has established itself as a state-of-the-art NDE technique in the critical water pipe sector. This paper presents advancements to PEC inspection in view of the specific information demanded from water utilities along with the challenges encountered in this sector. Operating principles of the sensor architecture suitable for application on critical pipes are presented with the associated sensor design and calibration strategy. A Gaussian process-based approach is applied to model a functional relationship between a PEC signal feature and critical pipe wall thickness. A case study demonstrates the sensor's behaviour on a grey cast iron pipe and discusses the implications of the observed results and challenges relating to this application.

A microfluidic detection system based upon a surface immobilized biobarcode assay.

Project description:The biobarcode assay (BCA) is capable of achieving low detection limits and high specificity for both protein and DNA targets. The realization of a BCA in a microfluidic format presents unique opportunities and challenges. In this work, we describe a modified form of the BCA called the surface immobilized biobarcode assay (SI-BCA). The SI-BCA employs microchannel walls functionalized with antibodies that bind with the intended targets. Compared with the conventional BCA, it reduces the system complexity and results in shortened process time, which is attributed to significantly reduced diffusion times in the micro-scale channels. Raw serum samples, without any pretreatment, were evaluated with this technique. Prostate specific antigen in the samples was detected at concentrations ranging from 40 pM to 40 fM. The detection limit of the assay using buffer samples is 10 fM. The entire assay, from sample injection to final data analysis was completed in 80 min.

Towards sustainable transport policy framework: A rail-based transit system in Klang Valley, Malaysia.

Project description:This study examines the sustainable transport policy framework in the case of railway development in Klang Valley, Malaysia. It is guided by the main principle that sustainable transport policy is a result of the integration of broad policy instruments that range from infrastructure provision and management, technological improvements, regulation, information, awareness, education, and pricing and taxation. Although this study is mainly qualitative, performance data available at the ASEAN Statistics Division, World Bank Open Data and Global Competitiveness Reports. This is followed by in-person interviews with experts who have vast knowledge, experience, and direct participation in sustainable railway development in Malaysia, especially those related to the Klang Valley development. The main findings have indicated that the current framework in Malaysia meets the criteria of sustainable development policy framework, which are essentially constituted within environmental protection. It also constitutes the pursuance of long-term growth in terms of economic and societal needs. Nonetheless, the rail-based transit system in Malaysia is highly driven by the Government and there is no clear sign indicating that the public is shifting from the road and private transport to rail-based services.
