Endbeam is an important structural member of freight bogie for the support of service loading. In general, more than 25 years' durability is necessary. However, endbeam occur fatigue fracture in dynamic stress concentration location because comparatively strength and stiffness are low. Therefore, structure analysis is performed to evaluate structural problem of endbeam and local strain range as durability analysis. The number of cycles is extracted concerning the bogie in operation by measurement dynamic stress time history on critical part which is crack initiation in actual fact. At this time rainflow cycle counting is used to consider change of stress for operating condition. Based on the fatigue life curves and the stress analysis, the fatigue life of the endbeam is predicted and compared with the experimentally determined fatigue life, resulting in a fairly good correlation.

An end beam is one of the most important structural members supporting uncovered freight under in-service loading. In general, it needs to endure over 25 years. However fatigue fracture has occurred at dynamic stress concentration location of the end beam because user's specifications demanded high speed and vehicle manufacturer made the uncovered freight car with comparatively low strength and stiffness. For durability analysis, finite element analysis is performed to evaluate the problem of uncovered freight structure and local strain. The uncovered freight car was operated on actual problematic railroad line to measure dynamic stress versus time history on the critical part from which a crack is initiated often. Rainflow cycle counting method was used to estimate fatigue damage at dangerous area under operating condition. Therefore, this study shows that analytical fatigue life at the end beam can be predicted on the basis of S-N curve and structure analysis and has a fairly good correlation with experimental fatigue life.

Increased cumulative running times of railroad vehicle brings out such degradation as wear and fatigue. It don't adapt corrective maintenance which repairs a poor pan after a trouble but use preventive maintenance which fixes a bad part before a trouble. There were a few researches for preventive maintenance such as inspect affairs and facilities management. They couldn't estimate the operation reliability on railroad vehicle. Therefore, this study proposes the preventive maintenance procedure that predict repair period of end beam for uncovered freight car using reliability function and instantaneous failure rate on the basis of fatigue test and load history data.

In terms of saving costs, energy and materials, the weight of cars has been gradually reduced by optimizing design of structure, which also gives us good performance. In compliance with this, it should satisfy the lifetime of cars for 25 years under the operation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the strength of fatigue using date from strain gauges attached carbody and bogie frame. This dynamic stress can be evaluated using S-N curve based on stress amplitude. Modified S-N curve by CORTON-DOLAN is used for more conservative and substantial evaluation. In addition, !he loadings itself of carbody and bogie frame are considered by calculating the rate of the differences which are occurred between empty car and fuiiy occupied car with passengers. Rainflow cycle counting method is applied to arrange the stress data for the modified S-N curve to predict lifetime of the materials. Conclusively the cumulative damages are not only calculated by Miner's Rule, but the safety factors are also determined by Goodman diagram.

가변진폭 하중에서 고무부품의 피로수명 예측방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 서로 다른 변위에서 변위제어 피로시험을 수행하였으며 피로손상변수로 최대 Green-Lagrange 변형률을 선정하였다. Green-Lagrange 변형률에 의한 고무의 피로수명 곡선은 3차원 덤벨시편의 비선형 유한요소법을 이용하여 결정하였다. 피로수명 예측을 위하여 가변진폭 하중이력으로 SAE의 하중이력을 이용하였다. 레이스트랙법과 단순화된 레인플로집계법을 이용하여 하중이력신호를 축약하였다. 누적손상피로를 계산하는 방법으로 수정Miner 법칙을 이용하였으며, 최종적으로 하중이력신호에서 최대 진폭의 30% 이하를 노이즈로 간주하여 예측하였을 경우의 피로수명은 실제 가변진폭 하중 하에서의 피로시험결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였다.
