In order to obtain the features of Acoustic Emission （AE） sources of inner cracks in rail, AE sources with different types, depths and propagation distances are examined for crack in rail. The finite element method is utilized to model the rail with cracks and the results of experiment demonstrate the effectiveness of this model.
