[0034] Working principle: Mechanical grooves or holes are made in different areas of the rail to simulate potential defects. Then, a double-rail ultrasonic flaw detector is used to detect these simulated defects. The flaw detector emits ultrasonic waves and judges the state of the internal structure of the rail by receiving the reflected waves. By comparing the detection results of the flaw detector with the actual simulated defects, the performance of the flaw detector can be evaluated, including its detection accuracy, sensitivity, and reliability. This process is a key step to ensure railway transportation safety. Through continuous testing and optimization, the performance of the flaw detector is improved, so as to better prevent and detect potential damages of the rail.
