초록

선형탄성파괴역학을 적용하여 균열이 발생한 변동하중하의 철도차량 대차틀에 대한 균열성장속도를 예측하였다. 이를 위하여 철도차량 대차틀의 균열발생사례를 분석하여 취약부위를 파악하였으며, 영업노선에서의 실동하중 측정과 구조해석을 통한 정하중 계산으로 대차틀 취약부에서 운행 중 받는 총 하중이력을 생성하였다. 총 하중이력에서 균열닫힘을 고려한 유효하중이력을 계산하였으며, 취약부 3곳에서 균열성장속도를 예측하고 일본에서 측정한 균열진전 사례와 비교하였다. 해석결과 초기길이 40mm의 균열이 급속한 균열성장을 일으키기까지는 약 50만km의 주행거리가 필요하며 이는 약 3.8년의 운행기간에 해당하므로 도시철도의 유지보수기간을 고려하면 임계균열로 도달하기 전에 충분히 감지할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

In this study, fatigue crack growth rate of a cracked railway bogie frame under variable amplitude loading is predicted by applying linear elastic fracture mechanics. For this purpose, we find the critical points by reference surveying on cracked railway bogie frames. And we make an effective load history by synthesizing the dynamic load measured from the critical points of railway bogie frame during commercial line operation and the static load calculated from structural analysis. Crack growth analyses are performed at the 3 critical points under the commercial operation loading condition by assuming an initial crack size as 40 mm. and the results are compared with the experimental results from Japanese railway bogie frame crack growth case. From the analysis results, we find that around 500,000 km operating distance is necessary to bring crack growth from the initial crack to unstable crack. And it takes around 3.8 normal operating years. We conclude that it is enough time to detect the crack between normal maintenance period.
