In this study, the finite element method (FEM) for phased array technology in ultrasonic time of flight diffraction (TOFD) for the defect detection of two-dimensional (2-D) geometric materials was researched. The phased array technology generated the FEM model for the TOFD signal. We have established the finite element model by the FEM software ANSYS based on the ultrasonic mechanism about the defects and the phased array transducer. A plane strain elements have simulated the reflected signal of the defect. We can compare the error ratio between simulation and experiment by using the theoretical calculation value as the benchmark, and find the feasibility of the FEM detection.

This paper investigated the ultrasonic mechanism of Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) by finite element analysis for the better applications of ultrasonic TOFD (Time of Flight Diffraction) detection technology. The welding steel plate with the artificial defects is used in the finite element analysis model. The experimental A-scan signal with higher noise is filtered by the wavelet transform, which can clearly show defective diffracted wave. The software simulation of ultrasound is used to present the propagation process of ultrasonic signal inside the sample. Simulation results are compared with the experimental results, which shows valid basis for the practical TOFD ultrasonic detection methods in industrial applications.

Cut spike fasteners, used with conventional AREMA rolled tie plates and solid sawn timber ties, are the most common tie and fastener system used on North American freight railroads. Cut spikes are also used to restrain tie plates that incorporate an elastic rail fastener — that is, an elastic clip that fastens the rail to the tie plate. Elastic fasteners have been shown to reduce gage widening and decrease the potential for rail roll compared to cut spike-only systems. For this reason, elastic fastener systems have been installed in high degree curves on many railroads. Recent observations on one Class I railroad have noted broken cut spikes when used with these types of tie plates in mountainous, high degree curve territory. Broken screw spikes and drive spikes on similar style plates have also been observed. In this paper, a simulation method that integrates a vehicle-track system dynamics model, NUCARS®, with a finite element analysis model is used to investigate the root causes of the broken spikes. The NUCARS model consists of a detailed multibody train, wheel-rail contact parameters, and track model that can estimate the dynamic loading environment of the fastening system. For operating conditions in tangent and curve track, this loading environment is then replicated in a finite element model of the track structure — ties, tie plates, and cut spikes. The stress contours of the cut spikes generated in these simulations are compared to how cut spikes have failed in revenue service. The tuning and characterization of both the vehicle dynamics multibody model and the finite element models are presented. Additionally, the application of this approach to other types of fastening systems and spike types is discussed. Preliminary results have identified a mechanism involving the dynamic unloading of the tie plate-to-tie interface due to rail uplift ahead of the wheel and the resulting transfer of net longitudinal and lateral forces into the cut spikes. Continued analysis will attempt to confirm this mechanism and will focus on the severity of these stresses, the effect of increased grade, longitudinal train dynamics, braking forces, and curvature.

By using a validated finite element model, simulation studies involving several parameters are performed to reduce the irregularity in the wafer: (1) tapered bottom of the retainer ring, (2) machining round corners at the bottom of the retainer ring, (3) the changes in pressure applied to the wafer, (4) the changes in pressure applied to the retainer ring.
