Periodic inspection of railway axles is carried out to avoid axle failures. Analytical methods for determining the periodicity of inspection require knowledge of load conditions, materials properties and inspection reliability. The Wheelset Integrated Design and Maintenance (WIDEM) Project is being carried out to acquire some of this data and to develop methodologies for axle design. An example is given in this paper of the measurement of inspection reliability from a set of 11 cracked axles. The method estimates the POD of the in-situ inspection technique from the response versus size method, the size in this case being measured with Alternating Current Potential Drop (ACPD), phased array ultrasonics and time-of-flight diffraction. The results show that useful information is generated by such methods and a further experiment is planned on a different range of axles to obtain wider applicability of the data obtained.
