Rail cars are subject to vibration, impact and wear which can cause severe defects leading to a fatal accident. Thus, they are designed and manufactured in consideration of such factors influencing their service lifetime. Under-frames are composed of steel and support most of load imposed on the car. Steel is very sensitive to corrosive environment and corroded even in a normal service condition. Regular maintenance can Protect steel Parts from corrosion by painting. However, an exposure of defect point to corrosive agents can make corrosion proceed to a considerable depth, which may cause the structure to remain under safety standard. It is necessary to understand corrosion behavior of rail cars in order to estimate unexpected accidents by corrosion.

This paper evaluates crashworthiness of KHST carbodies under the SNCF accident scenario (collision against a movable rigid mass of 15 tons at 110 kph) and the scenario of train-to-train collision at 30 kph. The numerical results show that the final design of the KHST power-car doesn't have a good response on crashworthiness. So an improved design has been suggested for it. The improved design has shown good performances in the viewpoint of energy absorption and survival space at several numerical simulations, such as the accident collided against a deformable dump truck of 15 tons at 110 kph, the driver's dummy analysis, and the accident of train-to-train collision for the first three units at 30 kph.
-
In this study, the crashworthiness of KHST is evaluated by analysing a nonlinear spring/bar-damper-mass model using 1 dimensional collision dynamics. The numerical results show that KHST can easily absorb kinetic energy at lower impact force and acceleration in heavy collisions, when compared with KTX. Also, in a light collision like a traint-to-train accident at speed under 8 kph, the carbody and components of KHST can be protected without any damage except a energy absorbing tube to be replaced easily. However, KTX may be much damaged in the light collision because there is no energy absorbing tube. In conclusion, the crashworthy performance of KHST has been much improved than that of KTX, although there remains something to be improved for a better performance.

In general, the aluminum extrusions are used to the light construction of the high speed rail vehicle structures. However, the research works ok the crashworthy design of the high speed rail vehicle structures are not published sufficiently because the crash test of high speed rail vehicle structures costs high and is complicated. So, a method that can predict crash characteristics of a large size structure like a high speed tail vehicle should be suggested. In this study, the scale model studies are performed to predict the impact energy absorption characteristics of full scale model. In the first place, we verified the theory of scale law using FE-simulation from the crashworthiness point of view. Secondly, we performed the crush test using scale model, made of aluminum sub structure. As a result, we could predict the crash characteristics using scale model by 10∼20% error.

The computer simulation techniques were adopted to evaluate effects of seating positions of passenger under the various accident scenarios. The baseline of computer simulation model was tunned by the sled impact tests which conducted under the upright and standard seating positions. This study shows the effect of relative velocity between occupant and struck vehicle while occupant is impacted to a front seat's seatback. Although, base on the current accident scenarios, KHST is performed well enough to protect average adult male occupants. However, Results from the tests indicate small size occupant or higher impact speed may cause sever neck and femur injuries.

The effects of carbon black on the critical J-value and the surface fracture morpology of the carbon-black filled natural rubbers were investigated. Different kinds of carbon blacks resulted in different critical J-values, surface, and roughness. It was noticed that the critical J-value was almost the same regardless of the length of a pre-crack. In addition, different kinds of carbon blacks resulted in different fracture morphologies, and micro-scale and macro-scale roughnesses. The critical J-value could be linearly expressed by the micro-scale roughness and the macro-scale roughness and it seemed related to the size distribution of carbon black particles. And we also found that the macro-scale ms roughness was more sensitive than the micro-scale ms roughness to the critical J-value by the result of correlation coefficient, r

This paper investigates the dynamic characteristics of a beam axially moving over multiple elastic supports. The spectral element matrix is derived first for the axially moving beam element and then it is used to formulate the spectral element matrix for the moving beam element with an interim elastic support. The moving speed dependance of the eigenvalues is numerically investigated by varying the applied axial tension and the stiffness of the elastic supports. Numerical results show that the fundamental eigenvalue vanishes first at the critical moving speed to generate the static instability.

열차가 고속으로 터널에 진입하게 되면 터널 내부에서 극심한 압력 교란이 발생하게 되며 이로 인한 이명현상은 승객들에게 불쾌감을 크게 유발시키고, 열차 구조물에 작용하는 반복적인 하중변화 또한 구조상 큰 문제를 일으킬 수 있게 된다. 따라서 이를 해결하기 위해서는 터널 내부의 유동장에 대한 정확한 예측이 필요하다. 본 논문은 긴 터널을 효율적으로 해석하기 위해서 최소 차원의 공간 가정을 통하여 계산 시간을 절약할 수 있는 혼합차원 기법을 이용하여 현재 G7 시제차의 시험 운행 구간내의 터널들에 대해서 수치해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과 터널 내부에서는 압축파, 팽창파의 상호 작용에 의한 복잡한 압력 교란이 발생하였고, 이러한 압력 변화는 열차 속도, 터널 길이, 측정위치에 따라 각각 다르게 나타났다. 따라서 터널 내부의 유동장을 정확히 예측하려면 열차 속도, 터널 길이, 열차 길이, 열차/터널 단면적 비, 측정 위치 등을 고려하여 해석을 수행하여야 한다. 이러한 수치 해석 결과는 시제차 시험 계획의 수립 및 시험기기의 선택과 설치 위치 등을 결정하는 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이며, 고속 열차의 여압 시스템과 외부 부착 구조물에 대해서도 중요한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

Since most of main noise sources of the railroad vehicle are transmitted to the passenger's ear through the vibration of the panel, the insulation performance of the panels should be high enough to protect the passengers from the noisy environment. Specifically, the composite materials which are generally used for reducing the weight of the vehicle compartment have the low insulation performance, noise control actions should be taken appropriately by considering the insulation performance of the panels. In this study, the insulation performances of the inner/outer panels were evaluated and the contribution of the aluminum door was estimated compared to the composite panels. The results can furnish an indepth understanding of the insulation characteristics of the panel of railroad vehicle.

From the moment that electricity is applied to a relay, a wheel turned, or a valve opened, the process leading to the need for maintenance begins, The uninitiated will tell you that the Maintenance man is someone who repairs something when it has gone wrong. Unfortunately, in any large engineering concern, such as a railway, it is not possible to work on the principle that only when something breaks down should it get any attention. The failure of one contact, diode or bearing could well stop not only the assembly of which it is a part, but the flow line or process, with loss of revenue, and clientele, and often with effects on the safety of both staff and the traveling public. So, we have to establish the reliable and cost-effective maintenance system to resolve these problems.

Keep pace with economic development, the quality of transportation means such as railway, road, harbors has changed and those changes have affected to economic activities. It means that economic development and the changes of transportation quality have an inter-systemic relationship. So to speak, transportation means are major factor of national economic activities to implement economic and consumption activities by promoting supply of goods through the network between regions and industries. Currently, it is needed to connect railway and road between South and North Korea due to the economic cooperation of two sides and meeting of separated families based on the peacemaking mood. Moreover, to connect to T.C.R. and T.S.R. route will contribute to save time and cost of transporting freight to Europe comparing with shipping when South-North railway is connected. The possibility and method of connecting railway between South and North Korea will be introduced in this paper.

But in case of traction system for railway vehicle, it is impossible that adapt vector control because there is one-pulse mode in a high speed region. So this paper proposes the control strategy using vector control in a low speed region and slip frequency control in a high speed region. And also proposes overmodulation method that makes to change in one-pulse mode softly. The performance of traction system will be verified by simulation results using ACSL.

Whenever the accidents occur in the railway areas, their prompt recovery is very important. The individual way has been used to resolve these accidents by direct visiting the site and reporting to others who cares for these cases. As a result, we are planning to operate the MTS (Moving picture Transmission System) for a timely information's transmission to the related peoples in the central control center by transforming the picture information on the accident-site to the digital information. The proposed system is not a transmission system using exclusive lines, but utilizing the existing railway computer network. We construct a network server device so that a dispatcher can easily connect with the server through the railway intranet. In some railway environments such as disturbed field situations and geographical condition(in tunnels and bridges, etc) building up the wired network is difficult. Solving this problem, we reviewed the wireless network. Finally we proposed the mixed wireless network that is able to cover the wired network. We then installed and tested the wired network and wireless network respectively in wayside of a railway field. Through the testing, we identified many detailed matters for some network construction approaches to the control room and many field device-connecting schemes. This research will contribute to minimize the number of staff dispatched to a disturbed field, decrease the accident recovery time and improve the quality of service to the passenger.

Geotextile containers for restoration of slopes form the interface between the containers during the restored to lost slopes, and therefore the relation displacements are developed including the sliding on the surface. Since, the shear strength on these interfaces is less than that of fill material in the container, the characteristics of shear strength on the interface governs the behavior of the restoration slopes. In general, a lot of natural properties of geotexiles is required to evaluate the safty of the geotextiles, Among the properties, the shear characteristics between geotextiles and soil is a important variable to assess the safety. From the results of full scale direct shear test, the residual shear strength is recommanded to use for design factors since a large deformation possibly occures on the geotextile containers.

This study was under taken as an analysis of failure mode in a railroad bed reconstructed with miniaturized Geotextile Container after being destroyed by heavy rain. It assesses the practical use of the bag shaped Geotextile Container method in the rehabilitation of destroyed roadbeds. The failure mode was assessed using the laboratory model tests to determine the following criteria: Strain of Geotextile Container, Vertical & Horizontal displacements of Geotextile Container layer, and the transmitting load effects due to the applied load. The Geotextile Container layer was failed as a Block Failure type, although there was some variation in the results between the saturated and unsaturated conditions. The main failure was caused by the reduction of the interface friction between Geotextile Containers. The result of this mobilizes the significant horizontal displacement and the ultimate failure of the Geotextile Container layer. The strain on the wet Geotextile Container was occurred about two times greater than that of dry condition.

This paper represents the life-cycle cost(LCC) of steel bridges which are located on the train-network. Corrosion problems are mainly considered in the steel members such as steel plate girder, box girder, truss and arch. Based on the current value, initial construction cost, maintenance cost and demolition cost are calculated and life-cycle costs are formulated for the several types of bridges. From the comparison on each LCC, an effective painting method is recommended for reducing the LCC of steel bridges. Even though the initial cost of Super Weather Resistance Heavy Duty Paintings (Resin Fluoride) is expensive, because of the long endurance, the LCC of steel bridges painted with Super Weather Resistance Heavy Duty Paintings (Resin Fluoride) is less than that painted with General Heavy Duty (Rubber Chloride).

Recently, the applications of corrugated plates(or folded plates) are increasing due to economic and structural advantages in certain situations. And, because of the higher strength of corrugated plates than flat plates, the usage of the corrugated plates is increasing. So there are many necessities for specifications of corrugated plates. For flat plates, there are many design details in almost specifications. However, there are no detail design guides such as shear strength except the bending strength and the normal strength. So, it is difficult for engineers to design structures consist of corrugated plates. Therefore, a provision is necessary for engineers to refer for designing corrugated plates. The conclusion of this study shows a formula that helps to determine the shear strength of corrugated plates under various geometric conditions ; the size of corrugation ; the curvature of corrugation and ; the thickness of the corrugated plate. Also, it shows that corrugated plates have higher shear buckling strength than flat plates.

The dynamic load effects, generated by moving trains, are transferred to the railway bridges through tracks. The dynamic load effects may vary due to the dynamic characteristics of the applied vehicle loads and the railway bridges including the track system. However, the track models have been neglected or simplified by spring elements in the most studies since it is quite complicated to consider the track systems in the dynamic analysis models of railway bridges. In this study track system on railway bridges are modeled using a three-dimensional discrete-support model that can simulate the load carrying behavior of tracks. A 40m simply supported prestressed concrete box-girder system adopted for high-speed railway bridges are modeled for simulation works. The train models are composed of 20 cars for KTX. The dynamic response of railway bridges are found to be affected depending on whether the track model is considered for not. The influencing rate depends on the traveling speed and different wheel-axle distance. The dynamic bridge response decreases remarkably by the track systems around the resonant frequency. Therefore, the resonance effect can be reduced by modifying the track properties in the railway bridge, especially for KTX trains.

In this study, contact fatigue in wheel-rail contact is simulated. It is necessary to calculate contact stress and subsurface stresses accurately to predict fatigue behavior. Contact stresses are obtained by contact analysis of semi-infinite solid based on influence function and subsurface stress field obtained by using rectangular patch solutions. Based on these stress values, several multiaxial high-cycle fatigue criteria are used and the critical loads corresponding to fatigue limits are calculated. The simulation results show that the critical load is decreasing rapidly and the site of crack initiation also moves rapidly to the surface from the subsurface when friction coefficient exceeds a specific value for all of three fatigue criteria.
