Opportunity Information: Apply for FR RRD 14 004
The grant opportunity focuses on advancing a nondestructive method for measuring stress in continuous welded rail using nonlinear ultrasonic guided waves. Key research tasks include:
1. Exploring artificial heating of the rail to expedite testing and reduce the impact of weather and train traffic. 2. Establishing calibration parameters for the ultrasonic measurements tailored to two common rail sizes, 115RE and 132RE, used by U.S. railroads. 3. Enhancing software to analyze ultrasonic data for use in field applications.
The initiative aims to achieve specific performance objectives through these additional research efforts.Apply for FR RRD 14 004
