"High-Speed Eddy Current Testing in Ensuring Rail Integrity: An Inspection-Based Study"

Abstract

"This dataset provides supporting experimental data for the study \u201cHigh-Speed Eddy Current Testing in Ensuring Rail Integrity: An Inspection-Based Study.\u201d The data characterizes the performance of a directional eddy\u2011current probe during high\u2011velocity rail inspection using field\u2011extracted damaged rail sections. Dynamic tests were conducted at scanning speeds up to 2\u202fm\/s to evaluate the feasibility of deploying the sensor on a hand\u2011pushed trolley. Reliable defect detection was achieved at 2\u202fm\/s with a signal\u2011to\u2011noise ratio of 3.5, exceeding the industry\u2011accepted minimum threshold of 3.0. The dataset consists of ten subfolders (data1\u2013data10), each containing .mat files corresponding to scanning speeds from 0.2\u202fm\/s to 2.0\u202fm\/s in 0.2\u202fm\/s increments. All measurements were collected using a figure\u2011eight transmitter coil paired with differential rectangular receivers, optimized for surface anomaly detection under dynamic inspection conditions."
