An Evaluation of Structural Strength by Testing the Carbody of Light Composite Material

경량 복합소재 차체의 시험에 의한 구조강도 평가

This study introduces the testing results of the composite carbody which is applied to tilting train. The composite carbody is made of aluminum honeycomb structure materials like a sandwich. The static load test was performed to evaluate the structural characteristic and stability of the composite carbody. Considering the vertical, compressive, twisting load and 3-point supporting type as a testing terms, the structural stability of a carbody was evaluated.
