Railways is a major mode of transportation for passengers and freight in India. hence monitoring the health of rial section is of paramount importance from the viewpoint of passenger safety and economy. rail sections are prone to damage/ defects; thus, their detection and localization are the primary objectives of health monitoring so as to take prompt and necessary remedial measures. in this respect, the non-destructive testing (N D T) technique is effectively used for health monitoring of rail sections. among the many ndt techniques, the acoustic emission (AE)technique is more effective as it helps in damage investigation of rail sections in real-time.
