In this study, we analyzed transverse cracks in rails using eddy current testing. Quantitative analysis was performed on transverse crack defect signals ascertained by actual flaw detection and finite element simulation of the rail that had developed a central transverse crack. The conductivity and width of the finite element model were equivalent to those of the actual rail. By analyzing the distribution of eddy current on the rail surface, the relationship between the variation in the density of eddy current and size of transverse crack was obtained. Experimental and simulation results indicated that the application of eddy current testing in quantitative analysis of a rail flaw was feasible and would be a valuable reference in future research.
