1 PIERS ONLINE, VOL. 6, NO. 3, Rotating Electromagnetic Field for Crack Detection in Railway Tracks M. Cacciola, G. Megali, D. Pellicanò, S. Calcagno, M. Versaci, and F. C. Morabito DIMET Department, University Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria Via Graziella Feo di Vito, Reggio Calabria I-89100, Italy Abstract The main problem about a railway analysis is detection of cracks in the structure. If these deficiencies are not controlled at early stages they might cause huge economical problems affecting the rail network (unexpected requisition of spare parts, handling of incident and/or accidents). Within this framework, the early and continuous use of Non Destructive Tests can be useful. In this context, Eddy Current Testing is increasing in importance and popularity. Particularly, in this paper we exploit the measure of normal component, with respect to the scanned surface, of magnetic field. Whilst the scientific literature proposes a lot of solutions for detecting sub-superficial defects, an open problem is related to the geometrical complexity of the structure and the relevant difficulty of crack detection. In this paper, we propose a Finite Element Method based approach for modelling a fast and accurate evaluation of the defect in railways tracks. The modelled system is strongly versatile and the choice of electrical parameters affect the design of new probes for this kind of inspection. In particular, we propose a solution exploiting a rotating electromagnetic field with very encouraging results: The proposed model is able to recognize deep and surface cracks even if their orientations is vertical to the longitudinal direction of the sensor. 1. INTRODUCTION In order to improve manufacturing quality and ensure public safety, components and structures are commonly inspected for early detection of defects or faults which may reduce their structural integrity. Non Destructive Testing and Evaluation (NDT/E) techniques present the advantage of leaving the specimens undamaged after inspection. NDT/E involves treating defect detection and characterization as inverse problems. In experimental NDT/E, the available measurement data are exploited in order so some clues may emerge in the inspection signal that are possibly representative of structural modification of specimens, like cracks, flaws and phase transformations that develop to discontinuous deformations. NDT/E in the field of defects identification in metallic elements plays a remarkable role with special regard to those sectors where the material integrity is strictly required. As a consequence, the detection of defects in metallic materials, together with the relevant shape classification, provides the operator with useful information on the actual mechanical integrity of the specimen. It is presently possible to perform forward numerical simulations [1 3] very precisely and rapidly and concerning different applications of the NDT/E. With the evolution of computer systems and numerical methods, the interest in NDT/E has grown so much as problems that a few years ago appeared very difficult to be practically solved, can now be approached by numerical simulations. Cracks or other in-service expected discontinuities occurring in railway may lead to fracture and thus to operational danger. Where necessary, operational safety is guaranteed by the periodic non-destructive inspection of these components. Irregularities may not exceed a specified and limited extension. Moreover, irregularities are closely related to operating speed, covering distance, quality of the track, acceleration, profile wear, rail wear, stiffness bogey, and so on. For this reason, the initial inspection shall be exploited in order to observe all discontinuities or damages. Our numerical simulations were carried out according to the requirements and advices of international standards: European standard (EN), International Standard (ISO) and Unit Identification Code (UIC). As the EN or ISO standards approach the acceptance of rolling stock components in manufacturing stage and not directly in-service inspections, a study of UIC documents and experience achieved after years inspections, in railway networks, focus the inspection requirements. The available rolling stock standards concerning NDT/E are: ISO 100-1:199: Railway rolling stock material Part 1: Rough-rolled tyres for tractive and trailing stock Technical delivery conditions;
2 PIERS ONLINE, VOL. 6, NO. 3, ISO 100-3:1982: Railway rolling stock material Part 3: Axles for tractive and trailing stock Quality requirements; ISO 100-6:199: Railway rolling stock material Part 6: Solid wheels for tractive and trailing stock Technical delivery conditions. The most common defects in railway are Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) cracks, flats and internal cracks initiated from manufacturing defects with diameter less than 1 [mm]. Thus, we assumed all these indications in our simulations. For track inspection, ECTs are generally utilized. Usually, exploiting ECTs, the variation of magnetic field H, induced by the variation of eddy currents, is considered to detect the presence of cracks; particularly, the normal component of H, i.e., H, is measured by suitable sensors, since it is not influenced by the exciting coils. But, if the crack orientation is vertical to the longitudinal direction of the sensor, it could be insensitive to the crack presence itself. Therefore, an insensitive way of inspection could be very useful in order to improve the quality of the analysis. It can be represented by a magnetic rotating field, generated by a multi-transmitter exciting coil, inducing variation of the eddy current density without a mechanical movement. For our purposes, a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) code has been exploited for physical modelling []. It requires the geometrical and physical definition of the railway []. We verified the magnetic field density [6, 7] caused by the presence of defect. A suitable database of results has been generated in correlation with the rail and track inspection data. It gives the necessary information about discontinuities created in rail components during specific rail and track conditions. The paper is organized as follows: Firstly, a brief description of the principle of the rotating magnetic field is treated; than, the exploited approach and some important results are displayed and, finally, some conclusions are drawn. 2. THE FEA APPROACH The proposed approach has been carried out by means of Finite Element Method code and the 2D A Ψ formulation [9]. In the time-harmonic quasi-static case, Ampère-Maxwell s equation includes the displacement current: H = J (1) where H represents the magnetic field and J the current density, respectively. If we consider a moving object with velocity v relative to the reference system, the Lorentz force equation establishes that the force F per charge q is then given by: F q = E + v B (2) where E represents the electric field; v the instantaneous velocity of the object derived from the expression of the Lorentz force and B the magnetic induction. In a conductive medium, an observer travelling with the geometry sees the current density (considering that σ is the electric conductivity) J = σ (E + v B) + J e ; therefore, we can rewrite (1) as follows: H = σ (E + v B) + J e (3) where J e [A/m 2 ] is an externally generated current density. Considering, for a transient analysis, the definitions of magnetic vector potential A and electric scalar potential V, and the constitutive relationship for magnetic field and induction: B = A E = V A B = µ 0 µ r H H = µ 1 B () where µ 0 and µ r are free space and relative magnetic permeability; we may rewrite (3), by substituting () in it, as: σ A + ( µ 1 A ) σv ( A) + σ V = J e ()
3 PIERS ONLINE, VOL. 6, NO. 3, Since we are interested in perpendicular induction current, only the z-component of A is non null. Therefore, the formulation of the 3D Equation () is simplified to: σ A z + ( µ 1 ) A z σv ( Az ) = σ V L + Je z (6) where V is the difference of electric potential and L is the thickness along the z-axis. The Partial Difference Equation (PDE) formulation of Equation (6) can be written as: σ A z (µ 1 + ) A z σv Az = σ V L + J z e (7) In this way, we calculated the magnetic vector potential A in a generic subdomain Ω. For our aim, it is necessary to impose the boundary conditions as follows. Magnetic field (n H = n H 0 ) for boundary of air where acting the rotating magnetic field; for remaining boundaries, included the defect, the continuity is assured by the expression n (H 1 H 2 ) = 0 [10, 11]. The rotation effect of the magnetic field vector has been simulated by applying a uniform B vector, timely rotated according to the following Euler rotation formulation [12]: [ x(t + τ) y(t + τ) ] [ cos (ωt) sin (ωt) = sin (ωt) cos (ωt) ] [ x(t) y(t) The simulations exploit the Finite Element Method (FEM) and require the geometrical and physical definition of the structure. Table 1 resumes these settings. For our purpose we verified the variation of the magnetic field s density (T) caused by the presence of the defect [6, 7]. For our aims we had imposed the choice of the magnitude of electrical parameters, according Table 2. The performances shown by the proposed solutions are very encouraging: The use of a rotating magnetic field allows not only to detect defects despite of their orientations, but also increases the ability of detecting very small cracks in railways. In Fig. 1, we depict typical defects (called A : bottom defect; B : middle defect and C : top defect) and their representation of preferential direction for crack evolution. ] (8) Table 1: Geometrical and physical parameters for simulation step.

5 PIERS ONLINE, VOL. 6, NO. 3, the main electrical parameters presented in the previous subsection. The dimensional evolution of cracks, according to the frequency analysis, is summarized in Table 3. Results have been compared with numerical output of a railway section s, inspected with the same electrical parameters. Fig. 2 depicts a comparison between the numerical simulations without effect and with the increase of the different kind of defects. For a complete investigation, we have obtained final graphs of the evolution of magnitude and phase of B for a frequency value of 0 [Hz]. For our aims, final graphs show the difference of information obtained on crack s presence or absence. Results demonstrate the accuracy of the developed simulations with the FEM model and its efficacy in the proposed problem.. REMARKS AND CONCLUSIONS On the basis of the numerical method presented in this paper, we developed a finite element procedure for the analysis of the rotating magnetic field for the detection of railway tracks. For our analysis, we used a 2D section of the railway and simulated different sizes of defects according to the ISO rules. Specifically, exploiting the Ferraris effect, a 2D time dependent model has been studied to evaluate the distortion of the magnetic field density due to the defect presence: Rotating Magnetic Field provides a good overall accuracy in discriminating defect presence, as our experimentations demonstrate. At the same time, the procedure should be validate for other kind of defects, with different geometries or orientations. The same approach should find useful applications like: Detection of third-layer cracks, above all concerning alodine rivets within the framework of aging aircrafts inspection, or micro-crack and micro-voids detection in welding process. Anyway, the presented results, which also can be considered as preliminary results, are very encouraging and they suggest the possibility of increasing and generalizing the performance model with a physical realization of a rotating field eddy current sensor. The authors are actually engaged in this direction. REFERENCES 1. Bowler, J. R., Eddy current interaction with an ideal crack: I. The forward problem, J. Appl. Phys., Vol. 7, , Tagaki, T., M.
