Development of a Dynamic Solver Platform for the Next Generation Railway Vehicle

차세대 고속철도 시스템해석을 위한 동역학 솔버 플랫폼 개발

When developing railway vehicle system, investigation of the dynamical stability is essential as a virtual prototyping process. Not only the verification using the commercial analysis tools, systematic analysis using customized tools is also necessary, because these can give other points of view in stability, which is sometimes unable to evaluate in the former one. As a solver platform for customization, it is important to derive basic theory about flexible bodies and build flexible structure, which enables easy module insertion of user-created functions. In the paper, a flexible dynamic analysis system is developed, using absolute cartesian coordinate, modal coordinate and absolute nodal coordinate. Each coordinate system is verified by respective examples for every system. This solver system will play an important role for building the basic platform for analysis system, keeping pace with the concurrent development of the modules, such as wheel-contact force, constraints and user-defined force modules. Using the information from the analysis, the evaluation of the dynamic behavior of the train and its stability analysis will be available.
