1. A method for resonant ultrasonic analysis-based inspection of a rail component, the method comprising:

  • detecting and recording resonances produced by vibrations of a spectrum of frequencies in an in-situ rail component as resonance data;

    determining a set of characteristics of resonant peaks within a frequency band of interest of the resonance data;

    comparing the set of characteristics with an expected resonance profile; and

    determining a condition of the rail component based on the comparing.
