Temperature changes are a major challenge in outdoor guided wave structural health monitoring of rails. Temperature variations greatly impact the waveform of guided wave signals, making it challenging to diagnose and characterize defects. Traditional temperature compensation methods, such as signal stretch and scale transform, are restricted to use in regular structures, such as plates and pipes. To solve the temperature compensation problem in long rails with serious mode conversion and complex structure echo, we propose a temperature compensation and defect monitoring method, namely, sliding window dynamic time-series warping (SWDTW), which overcomes the challenges of mass computation and overcompensation of dynamic time-series warping (DTW). The basic idea of SWDTW is to utilize sliding windows to accelerate the computation and identify defects from subsequence scales. Then, an index, window subsequence Teager energy (WSTE), is used to indicate the local abnormality of guided wave signals, and a sliding window net (SWnet) is devised to monitor the occurrence of defects automatically. Outdoor monitoring of turnout rails showed that the proposed method can effectively reduce the temperature noise and recognize an artificial defect with 1.16% and 0.36% cross-sectional change rates (CSCRs) on the switch and stock rails, respectively, at different temperatures; moreover, the defect signals processed by SWDTW showed better defect identification performance than those processed by scale transform and DTW.
