METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF DEVELOPMENT OF ANOMALIES IN RAIL HEAD Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B61K9/08 G01N27/82 G01N29/04 

FIELD: defectoscopy.

SUBSTANCE: use: for evaluation of rails state. Summary of invention consists in the fact that defectoscopic means are moved along rail track, rails head is probed by them, received signals are evaluated, anomalies are detected and recorded with reference to track coordinates, additionally, according to the results of probing, integral parameter of each anomaly is formed, during subsequent movements of the flaw detection devices along the rail track, probing is repeated, the integral parameters of the current and previously found anomalies are compared, the dynamics of the change of the integral parameter of each anomaly is estimated, the prospects of its development and the repair measures are planned.

EFFECT: possibility of reliable estimation of anomalies in a rail head, as well as possibility of predetermining development of anomalies before critical situations occur.
