Evaluation of manufacturing process and structural strength for the composites carbody

신소재 복합재 철도차량 차체 제작기술 및 구조강도 평가

This research presents the manufacturing process and the structural strength assessment for the hybrid composite carbody. In this study, the manufacturing process for carbody with length of 23m was explained. The composite carbody was fabricated as one body using autoclave with length of 30m and 5m diameter. The structural behavior of the carbody under the 3-point supporting and the natural frequency were evaluated as well. In addition, the test results were compared with the numerical one. From the tests, the structural strength of the hybrid composite carbody was assessed.
