Abstract

Optimization of the parameters of schemes using multichannel ultrasonic flaw detectors for sonic testing of rails (sonic test schemes), as well as development of algorithms for processing test signals, are considered. The efficiency of the RAIL-3D computer code proposed for the 3D simulation of the propagation and formation of echo signals during ultrasonic testing is tested by comparing real signals and simulation results for a CB-2 calibration block. The comparison is performed for the complex conditions under which rails are tested. The code can also be used for simulating signals of ultrasonic nondestructive testing in other metal products.
