Recently, high speed of container freight cars is causing fatigue damage of wheel. Sudden failure accidents cause a lot of physical and human damages. Therefore, damage analysis for wheel prevents failure accident of container freight car. Wheel receives mechanical and thermal loads at the same time while rolling stocks are run. The mechanical loads applied to wheel are classified by the horizontal load from contact of wheel and rail in curve line section and by the vertical force from rolling stocks weight. Also, braking and deceleration of rolling stocks cause repeated thermal load by wheel tread braking. Specially, braking of rolling stocks is frictional braking method that brake shoe is contacted in wheel tread by high breaking pressure. Frictional heat energy occurs on the contact surface between wheel tread and brake shoe. This braking converts kinetic energy of rolling stocks into heat energy by friction. This raises temperature rapidly and generates thermal loads in wheel and brake shoe. There mechanical and thermal loads generate crack and residual stress in wheel. Wetenkamp estimated temperature distribution of brake shoe experimentally. Donzella proposed fatigue life using thermal stress and residual stress. However, the load applied to wheel in aforementioned most researches considered thermal load and mechanical vertical load. Exact horizontal load is not considered as the load applied to wheel. Therefore, above-mentioned loading methods could not be applied to estimate actual stress applied to wheel. Therefore, this study proposed safety estimation on wheel of freight car using heat-structural coupled analysis on the basis of loading condition and stress intensity factor.

This paper presents the results of the parametric study on the longitudinal behavior of 2-span continuous railway bridge. To perform the main objective of this paper, the effects of pier shaft stiffness, pier height, the size of pier foundation, and the bearing stiffness on the longitudinal behavior of the bridges are studied. Within the limits of this study, the research result has revealed that the variation of the fixed pier is more effective than that of the moved pier. In addition, the control of the hearing stiffness is much less expensive than that of any other parameters.

자동차용 Alloy Wheel은 차량의 수직하중이나 가로 방향 하중, 구동, 제동토크 등 주행 시에 발생하는 여러 형태의 응력을 받으면서 사용되므로 이러한 응력을 견딜 수 있는 강성은 물론 차량 부품으로서의 요구 수명도 만족하여야 한다. 알루미늄 휠은 개발 후 규격에 준하는 내구성 평가를 위하여 반경 방향 부하 내구시험과 굽힘모멘트 내구시험과 주행 중 요철이나 벽돌 등에 의한 노면으로부터 갑작스런 하중에 대한 내충격성 평가를 위한 충격시험이 실행되고 있다. 이러한 시험은 많은 시간이 소요되고 있으며, 또한 시험 중 불합격 판정이 날 경우 또다시 처음의 공정을 모두 거쳐 다시 시험을 하게 된다. 3 Piece와 같은 알루미늄 휠은 여러 공정에 의한 생산되어지기 때문에 많은 시간적, 물질적 손실이 일어나고 있다. 따라서 자동차용 알루미늄 휠의 요구조건을 충분히 만족시키며 소비자의 요구에 맞는 품질과 시간을 충족시켜 기업경쟁력 확보는 물론 원가절감에 의한 기업 경쟁력 향상을 위하여 설계 단계서부터 시험조건을 고려한 내구성 해석에 의한 알루미늄 휠의 시험횟수를 단축하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 3 Piece 알루미늄 휠의 축(shaft)하중에 의한 내구성 평가에 대하여 CAE시스템을 이용하여 보다 빠르고 정확한 결과를 산출함으로서 설계시간의 단축은 물론 다양한 형상의 제품들을 설계단계에서부터 생산에 이르기까지의 해석활용법을 수립하고자 하였다.

The use of long rails in high-speed railway bridges causes additional stresses due to nonlinear behaviours between the rail and bridge decks in the neighbourhood of the deck joints. In the seismic response analysis of high-speed railway bridges, since structural response is highly sensitive to properties of the ground motion, spatial variation of the ground excitation affects responses of the bridges, which in turn affect stresses in the rails. In addition, it is shown that high-speed trains need very long distances to stop when braking under seismic occurrence corresponding to operational earthquake performance level so that verification of the safe stoppage of the train is also required. In view of such additional stresses due to long rails, sensibility of structural response to the properties of the ground motion and braking distance needed by the train to stop safely, this paper proposes and establishes a time domain nonlinear dynamic analysis method that accounts for braking loads, spatial variation of the ground motion and material nonlinearities of rails to analyze long rail stresses in high-speed railway bridges subjected to seismic event. The accuracy of the proposed method is demonstrated through an application on a typical site of the Korean high-speed railway.

The objective of this research is to analyze and evaluate the dynamic flow curve of metals under impact loading at both high strain rate (.epsilon.=1/h dh/dt > 10$\^$3/m/s/m) and large strain (.epsilon.=In h/h$\_$0/ > 1.0). A test method for dynamic compression of metal disc is described. The velocity of the striker face and the force on the anvil are measured during the impact period. From these primitive data the axial stress, strain, and strain rate of the disc are obtained. The Strain rate is determined by the striker velocity divided by the specimen height. This gives a slightly increasing strain rate over most of the deformation period. Strain rates of 100 to 10,000 per second are achieved. Attainable final strains are 150%. A discussion of several problem areas is presented. The friction on the specimen surfaces, the determination of the frictional coefficient, the influence of the specimen geometry (h$\_$0//d$\_$0/ ratio) on the friction effect, the lock-up condition for a given configuration, the friction correction factor, and the evaluation of several lubricants are given. The flow function(stress verus strain) is dependent on the material condition(e.g., prior cold work), specimen geometry, strain rate, and temperature.

The tall and slender main crane is generally installed on the upper deck to load and unload the equipment or something heavy in the drilling rig or the ship. So the natural frequency of the crane equipment is very low, therefore, there is some possibility of excessive vibration at the emergency state due to sudden stop during the crane operation. This study describes a fatigue assessment due to heavy vibration during brake test of sudden stop because it is necessary the safety of crane is estimated against the heavy vibration. In order to find out the applied force, the vibration measurement and analysis have been performed.

In this paper, the main factors affect on the longitudinal rail force are discussed. Considering rail-bridge interaction, analytical and experimental evaluation of track behavior has been achieved. It is concluded that the horizontal ballast strength, the expansion length of the bridge span, and the stiffness of the bridge sub-structure are the significant parameters affecting the stability of the continuous welded rail (CWR) track. And, it is suggested that the ballast resistance forces should be maintained to ensure the track stability during the service.

When the wind speed changes rapidly, the wind turbine is stopped for the safety of the power system and the mechanical system. At that moment, the wind turbine gearbox is damaged and broken due to the contact load of the gearbox. In addition, the problems such as increasing frictional heat and deteriorate of the brake occur, because the power of the blades is transmitted directly to the brakes. This paper proposes a hybrid magnetic gear shape that solves the problem caused by the contact of the mechanical gear, which is the power transmission device of the wind power generation system, and the power cutoff system. The shape of the hybrid magnetic gearsuitable for the wind power generation system is derived through the torque and loss analysis according to the shape of the hybrid magnetic gear by using the two dimensional finite analysis method.

In this study, a nonlinear 2 degree of freedom mathematical model has been developed for impact analysis of the nose landing gear of a light aircraft which is composed of an wheel & tire, an Oleo-pneumatic shock strut and the castering wheel fork for the differential braking steering, and then the response of impact is computed using a numerical method. The mathematical model of a nose landing gear contains nonlinear characteristics which are an impact load - deflection property of a tire and internally frictional forces between an inner surface of an upper cylinder and a bearing of a lower rod due to side forces like the declined angle of strut, the moment due to an wheel fork, the side drag due to a steering and it is computed using the 4th-order Runge-Kutta method. The comparison process between analytical results and experimental results of the other proven nose landing gear is carried out to verify the mathematical model.

In automotive disc brake systems, frictional heat is not uniformly dispersed for reasons such as heat flux and thermal deformation. The thermoelastic deformation due to the frictional heat affects the contact pressure distribution and the contact load may be concentrated on the contact portion on the the disc brake surface, resulting in thermoelastic instability. In this study, thermal analysis and thermal deformation analysis considering the contact between disk and pad occurred during braking through 3D axial symmetry model with reference to the experimental equation and Kao's analysis method of contact pressure of disk and pad. ANSYS is used to analyze the thermal and elastic instability problems occurring at the contact surface between the disk and the pad, considering both the thermal and mechanical loads. A 3D axisymmetric model with direct contact between the disk and the pad was constructed to more accurately observe the thermal behavior of the disk by observing the frictional surface temperature, thermal deformation and contact thermal stress of the disk.
