A Study on the Energy Absorption Capacity of Collision and Corner Posts of EMU according to APTA SS-C&S-034-99 Standard

미국 규격에 따른 전두부 충돌에너지 흡수 요구조건의 해석적 평가

The purpose of this paper is to validate energy absorbing capacity that satisfies APTA SS-C&S-034-99, REV.2 with North America type Electric Multiple Units. The FE models for collision and corner post simulation were developed. Two type of simulation were conducted. One is quasi-static analysis for collision post and the other is quasi-static analysis for corner post. And the energy absorption capacity of the analytical model was verified.
