Rail represents one of the most important means of transportation. Many nondestructive testing methods have been used to find defects in rail. The guided wave technique is the most efficient because of its long propagation characteristic along the rail. Potential for detecting transverse cracks exists whereas standard bulk wave technique could miss the cracks. The wave structure of the rail cross-section for a particular loading condition of modes and frequencies is an important feature. In this paper, the propagation and scattering patterns of guided waves in a rail are studied using finite element methods. The wave structures are also examined. Various multiple defect situations and rail boundary conditions can also be studied.
