Abstract

Safety of high-speed trains is a key concern from the design process to operation. Considering the limitations of traditional off-line nondestructive testing methods, an active guided Lamb wave-based online damage detection technique was investigated, and a damage detection system built with the technique was implemented online to ensure the safety of bogie frames of running high-speed trains. Miniaturized standard PZT sensors were developed to compose a pitchcatch- based active sensor network for wave excitation and acquisition in the bogie. As a part of the new conformance testing of China's latest high-speed train model, experiments on a bogie frame of the train were carried out and the results from different damage conditions demonstrated high reliability and accuracy of the technique and the system.
