Abstract: Let $E:y^2=x^3+A{x}^2+Bx+C$ be a nonconstant elliptic curve over $mathbbQ(t)$ with at least one nontrivial $mathbbQ(t)$-rational $2$-torsion point. We describe a method for finding $t_{0}inmathbbQ$ for which the corresponding specialization homomorphism $tmapsto{t}_{0}inmathbbQ$ is injective. The method can be directly extended to elliptic curves over $K(t)$ for a number field $K$ of class number $1$, and in principal for arbitrary number field $K$. One can use this method to calculate the rank of elliptic curves over $mathbbQ(t)$ of the form as above, and to prove that given points are free generators. In this paper we illustrate it on some elliptic curves over $mathbbQ(t)$ from an article by Mestre.
