Abstract
The bogie frame is an important structure of railway vehicles, transmitting the traction, braking force, lateral force, and vertical force during the traction operation. With the development of high speeds and heavy loads, the appearance of fatigue cracks in the bogie frames is increasing, which reduces the driving life of railway vehicles and even causes serious traffic accidents. Real-time monitoring on the integrity of the bogie is an inevitable requirement for ensuring the safe operation of railway vehicles. In this paper, ultrasonic guided wave-based active structural health monitoring (SHM) was developed to identify the fatigue crack of the bogie frame. Experiments were conducted on a welded T-shape specimen with a thickness of 12 mm. A total of 10 piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) disks were mounted around the weld zone of the specimen, five of which were used as actuators, and the other five were used as sensors. Five-peak modulation narrow-band sine waves were input into the actuators to excite the specimen. From the sensor signals, the advanced damage index (DI) was calculated to identify the propagation of the crack. The experimental results demonstrate that crack damage as small as 2 mm in the weld zone of the bogie frame can be successfully detected. Some practical issues for implementing the SHM in real applications, such as crack quantification and environmental compensation, were also discussed.
