Abstract With the aim of realizing a safe and smooth operation of the railway system, this thesis focuses on the rail crack monitoring using AE technique. The study begins with controlled laboratory and field experimental work where PLB-simulated AE sources were used to simulate cracks in rail track and fatigue cracks were created in rail steel specimens. After that, the study continues with field experimental work where real cracks in rail track were used for testing in the presence of high operational noise. A rail crack monitoring strategy was proposed, comprising of a noise cancellation method, an AE wave classification method, a crack sizing method and a crack identification and location method. The main conclusions and recommendations for future work are summarized in this chapter.
