초록

본 연구에서는 알루미늄 압출재로 구성된 한국형 표준전동차모델(K-EMU)의 차체를 대상으로 치수 최적설계와 구조체 소재 변경을 통한 경량화방안에 대해 연구하였다. 우선 K-EMU 차체의 하부구조, 측벽구조, 단부구조의 부재별 두께를 현재의 압출가능 두께를 적용하여 치수 최적화 기법으로 약 14.8% 경량화 하였다. 그리고 치수최적설계 된 K-EMU 차체에 유지보수성이 좋은 고장력강(SMA570)재질의 프레임타입 하부구조를 적용하여 초기 K-EMU 차체대비 약 3.8% 경량화 된 하이브리드 차체를 도출하였다. 마지막으로 샌드위치 복합재를 하부구조와 지붕구조에 적용하여 초기 K-EMU 차체대비 약 30% 경량화 된 초경량 하이브리드 차체를 도출하였다. 도출된 차체 모델들은 모두 전동차 구조체 하중시험법을 만족하였다.

This study proposes a weight reduction design for urban transit, specifically, a Korean EMU carbody made of aluminum extrusion profiles, according to size optimization and useful material changes. First, the thickness of the under-frame, side-panels, and end-panels were optimized by the size optimization process, and then, the weight of the Korean EMU carbody could be reduced to approximately 14.8%. Second, the under-frame of the optimized carbody was substituted with a frame-type structure made of SMA 570, and then, the weight of the hybrid-type carbody was 3.8% lighter than that of the initial K-EMU. Finally, the under-frame and the roof-panel were substituted with a composite material sandwich to obtain an ultralight hybrid-type carbody. The weight of the ultralight hybrid-type carbody was 30% lighter than that of the initial K-EMU. All the resulting carbody models satisfied the design regulations of the domestic Performance Test Standard for Electrical Multiple Unit.
