The Relationship

Rayleigh backscatter fiber optic sensing permits dynamic strains to be measured along an optical fiber with a gauge spacing and temporal resolution sufficient for rail applications. However, this sensing technology is highly sensitive to vibration. A 7.5 m long section of rail was instrumented with optical fiber and strain measurements were recorded during passage of a freight train slowed to 8–11 km/h. This strategy to minimize rail vibration was successful in permitting distributed dynamic rail strains to be measured under freight car loading. The measured rail strains were used to determine the rail shear forces, which were then used with the static wheel loads to determine the rail seat load for 14 consecutive sleepers as the train passed over the field monitoring site. These data were then combined with measurements of dynamic rail displacement captured using digital image correlation to infer the rail seat load–deflection relationships for individual sleepers. These relationships were observed to provide significantly more detailed information about unsupported voids and the sleeper contact stiffnesses than the traditional consideration of the relationship between applied load and rail deflection and highlights how track behavior at a monitored location can be dependent on the conditions and behavior of neighbouring sleeper.
