본 연구에서는 실측 주행시험 결과데이터를 바탕으로 윤축 진동과 설계변수간의 관계를 규명하고자 2 자유도계 모델을 구성하였다. 특히 2차 현가장치인 공기스프링의 점탄성 특성을 반영하기 위해 니시무라 공기스프링 모델을 적용하였다. 수치해석 결과 내부 압력 감소 및 보조 공기탱크 체적 증가 시 객차 가속도응답이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 안정성을 헤치지 않는 범위 내에서 현가장치의 강성을 조정해 볼 필요가 있음을 알았다.

This paper presents a method for evaluating the performance of a leaf spring suspension and an air spring suspension systems for trucks in terms of ride and handling. Leaf springs, which generally have non-linear progressive force-deflection characteristics, are modeled using beam and contact elements. The leaf spring analysis model shows good correlation with experimental results. Each component of an air spring suspension system, which is a single leaf, air spring, height control valve, compressor and linkages, is modeled appropriately. Non-linear characteristics of air spring are accounted for using the measured data, and pressure and volume relations for height control system is also considered. The wheel rate of the air suspension is taken lower but roll stiffness is taken higher than those of leaf springs to improve ride and handling performance, which is verified through driving simulations.

본 연구에서는 지하철용 전동차의 현가장치를 구성하는 1차 현가장치 및 2차 현가장치의 강성 및 감쇠지수 변화가 전동차의 상하진동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실제 운행 중인 전동차에 대하여 액슬박스, 대차, 객차에서 측정된 진동 데이터를 바탕으로 대차와 차체로 구성된 2자유도계 해석모델을 생성하였고, 실측된 윤축의 진동을 입력신호로 하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 1, 2차 현가장치의 강성 및 감쇠지수의 변화에 따른 응답을 고찰한 결과, 차량의 상하진동에 지배적인 영향을 주는 설계변수는 2차 공기스프링의 강성임을 알았다. 또한 이러한 결과는 ADAMS/RAIL 전산해석을 통해서도 검증할 수 있었다.

Many kind of springs are used in the suspension of automotive vehicles and among these the leaf spring and the air spring are included. These two springs have not been generally used together in one suspension, but recently the automotive models which use these two springs together increase. This reason is due to the merit of the combination of two type springs. The merits are two. One is the character of air spring, that is, the natural frequen- cy of system is constant in spite of variable weight. The other is the character of leaf spring, that is, the suspension mechanism is simple. The combination spring is used in medium size and special purpose bus. In this paper, we formulate the condition which the leaf spring must satisfy to be optimal design in the combination spring. And experiment is performed to prove the theory. The results are that the combination spring is better than leaf spring in the ride, and that the purposed theory is good for the combination spring design.

Air springs are now widely used in bus or truck suspensions due to their advantages over conventional metal spring as coil or leaf springs. Air springs have soft spring rates, which give better ride quality, and additional leveling system provides constant ride height and maintains almost same vertical natural frequencies. A mathematical model of an air spring suspension system with height control system is constructed and dynamic responses of the suspension system are investigated in the light of leveling valve motion characteristic, vertical motion natural frequency. Also, using a full vehicle model, handling characteristics of an air spring suspension is studied and the results are compared with real test results, which shows good agreements.

Air springs are prevalently used as suspension in train. However, air springs are seldom used in automobiles where they improve stability and comfort by enhancing the impact-relief, breaking, and cornering performance. Thus, this study proposed a new method to analyze air springs and obtained some reliable design parameter which can be utilized in vehicle suspension system in contrast to conventional method. Among air spring types of suspension, this study focused on sleeve type of air spring as an analysis model since it has potential for ameliorating the quality of automobiles, specifically in its stability and comfort improvement by decreasing the shock through rubber sleeve. As a methodology, this study used MARC, as a nonlinear finite element analysis program, in order to find out maximum stress and maximum strain depending on reinforcement cord's angle variation in sleeves. The properties were found through uniaxial tension and pure shear test, and they were developed using Ogden Foam which is an input program of MARC. As a result, the internal maximum stresses and deformation according to the changes of cord angle are obtained. Also, the results showed that the Young's modulus becomes smaller, then maximum stresses decrease. It is believed that these studies can be contributed in automobile suspension system.

This paper presented comparison of vibration characteristics of a 5-ton truck at the two kinds of rear axle suspension, a conventional leaf spring suspension and an air spring suspension. Vibration at the selected location in the freight compartment and the rear axle were measured while the vehicle was running on various kinds of road at the specified speed. At all kinds of the driving conditions used in the test the air spring suspension showed good performance of vibration attenuation, especailly at the frequency range of under 5 Hz.

지하철 전동차에는 2 차 현가장치인 공기스프링의 횡강성 저하특성을 보강하기 위해 대차와 차체 사이에 횡댐퍼를 설치하게 되는데, 이 횡댐퍼는 주행 시 차체의 횡진동을 감소시키는 역할을 수행한다. 그러나, 횡댐퍼의 감쇠력이 저하될 경우 전동차의 주행안정성과 승차감이 함께 악화되며, 차체의 횡방향 운동이 증가되는 요인으로 작용하게 된다. 본고에서는 전동차 주행 시 비정상적으로 발생하는 충격에 대하여 그 원인을 살펴보고 해결방안을 마련하고자 횡댐퍼의 감쇠력에 따른 차체의 횡변위를 동역학 시뮬레이션을 통해 검토하였으며, 그에 따라 충격에 의한 이상진동 및 소음의 발생 유무를 파악하였다. 그로부터 충격이 발생되지 않는 적정 감쇠력을 구하고자 하였다.
