Wayside detection of faults in railway axle bearings using time spectral kurtosis analysis on high-frequency acoustic emission signals

Typical railway wheelsets consist of wheels, axle and axle bearings. Faults can develop on any of the aforementioned components, but the most common are related to wheel and axle bearing defects. The continuous increase in train operating speeds means that failure of an axle bearing can lead to seri...
