Evaluation of rubber spring for rail vehicle and application on the floor for increasing sound insulation properties

철도차량용 방진고무의 동특성 평가 및 상구조 차음 성능 증대를 위한 적용

Floating floor structure, which is mainly adopted for reducing interior noise of railway vehicle, is known that it is superior to single wall in respect of sound transmission loss. The dynamic characteristic of the support in the floating floor that is one of the important design variables in floating floor structure can change the sound and vibration insulation properties of it. From excitation test, the dynamic stiffness and loss factor of the support are evaluated. They are used as input parameter for analyzing the sound transmission loss of floating floor. Predicted transmission loss is compared with the prototype-car test results.
