Method and system for detecting railway axle defects in fatigue tests

摘要

Method and system for the detection of railway axis defects in fatigue tests. # The present invention relates to a method and a system for detecting a defect in a railway axis during a fatigue test. The method comprises the steps of: acquiring, by at least one sensor, a vibratory type signal of the railway axis; calculate, in a processor, the energy of the vibratory signal acquired in a given frequency band; compare, in the processor, the calculated energy with a previously established energy threshold; determine that a fault in the axis has been detected in case the calculated energy exceeds the preset energy threshold; and stop the fatigue test based on the detection of a defect.
