In this study, a camber angle generating mechanism for front and rear suspension is suggested. An experimental device is implemented and tested. A full vehicle model with camber angle generating device by using ADAMS/Car is modeled. Step steer simulations are carried out for investigating the effects of vehicle handling performance due to camber angle change of front and rear wheel. According to results, the camber angle of rear suspension affects the vehicle handling performance during both simulations. Therefore, when the vehicle makes the right turn or left turn, left and right wheel of front and rear suspension should have the proper orientation for improving the handling performance, respectively.

본 논문에서는 EDISON_전산열유체 시스템을 활용하여 군집주행 형태 변화에 따른 항력계수 및 연료효율 변화를 분석하였다. 해석 대상은 자동차 형상을 단순화한 모델인 아흐메드 형상(Ahmed body)을 이용하였다. 동종차량 간 거리변화에 따른 항력계수 및 연료효율의 변화, 이종차량의 배열순서변화에 따른 항력계수 및 연료효율을 분석하며 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 4대의 동종차량 군집주행시 항력계수를 최대 69% 감소할 수 있으며 이에 따라 km 당 0.073L의 연료를 절감할 수 있다.

This paper presents a simplified dynamics of railway vehicle for a tilting train simulator. The tilting train simulator has 6 electric-driven actuators and a visualization system with 1600mm-diameter dome screen. The each system shares the data by ethernet. In order to analyze the dynamics of railway vehicle and transfer the results of the analysis to the other system of the tilting train simulator in realtime base, We assumed the tilting train as a simplified rigid body model with primary and secondary suspensions. The simplified vehicle model has a 17-DOF. Through the running analysis on the tight curve with various radius, we verified the simplified vehicle model.

180km/h 급 한국형 틸팅차량의 틸팅 메카니즘 기구동역학 해석을 통하여 얻어진 틸팅 대차를 형성하는 주요 파라메터들의 값을 기반으로 틸팅대차용 엑츄에이터의 성능과 용량을 계산하여 설계에 결과를 반영하고자 한다. 승객의 안락감을 유지하기 위해 차체 틸팅 각가속도에 Sine 연속 함수를 적용하여 차체의 틸팅 제어 패턴을 결정하였으며, 이를 통해 차체의 틸팅 각속도와 틸팅각의 패턴을 얻어내었다. 또한 이번 연구를 통해 틸팅 메카니즘의 파라메타를 변화하면서 각각의 틸팅각에 따른 Swing bar 와 엑츄에이터에 작용되는 반발력에 대한 영향력을 분석, 검토하였으며, 이에 따른 엑츄에이터의 출력과 변위 속도등의 변화를 조사하였다. 이러한 결과와 틸팅 메카니즘 기구동력학 해석의 결과를 토대로 틸팅차량이 요구하는 최적의 틸팅 운동을 수행하는 파라메타를 결정하였다.

In this paper, the absolute nodal coordinate formulation was introduced to describe the large deformation problems. And also, the modal coordinates were employed to represent the small elastic deformation. A new hybrid formulation was developed to combine the modal coordinates and the absolute nodal coordinates. A spherical joint and the DOT1 constraint were developed to carry out the numerical simulation of mechanical systems with kinematic joints. A beam example was suggested to show the new formulation. The simulation results using the modal coordinates and the absolute nodal coordinates show a good agreement to the experiments.

고속열차의 운행속도가 증가함에 따라 이전보다 공기역학적인 요소들의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 열차와 터널의 형상설계뿐만 아니라 주변 환경을 위해 고속 주행하는 열차 주변의 유동장을 이해할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 고속 주행으로 인해 열차 주변에 발생하는 열차풍을 분석하여 선로 주변에 작용하는 풍하중을 계산하였고, 터널 주행 시 발생하는 압력변동과 객차 연결부의 비정상 열린 공동 유동을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 2차원 해석의 정량적 한계점이 나타났지만, 정성적인 경향은 선행연구와 잘 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 고속열차 주변의 공기역학적 특성의 이해와 열차 및 터널의 형상 변화에 따른 상대적인 비교를 위해서는 EDISON_CFD를 이용한 2차원 해석이 유용함을 볼 수 있었다.

An independently driven electric corner module cannot be applied to an actual vehicle without some difficulty, because of vehicle safety problems in the case of malfunctions and degraded ride and handling performance owing to the increase in the unsprung mass. In this study, a simulator is developed to evaluate the vehicle driving performance in order to solve ride and handling problems. Component modeling of a small-sized electric vehicle with an independently driven electric corner module is performed using MATLAB/Simulink. The vehicle is modeled by using CarSim, which can be used to analyze the vehicle maneuvers with 27 DOFs. The control algorithm for the improvement of vehicle driving safety and ride and handling performance is validated by using the developed simulator.

It is known that displacements, velocities and accelerations of the tractor- trailer type vehicle system in shock & vibration analysis by the flexible-multi-body dynamics including the flexibility of structure are bigger and more repetitive than them by the rigid-multi-body dynamics, and it is necessary to prove above results by the experimental field test. Therefore, in this paper, theoretical analysis by the flexible-multi-body dynamics and experimental field test for a tractor-trailer type vehicle system are conducted and their results are compared with each other. Because of unexpected metal contact and impact in the air coupler part in the field test, some accelerations measured from the experimental field test are bigger than them analyzed from the theoretical analysis, but most accelerations are well coincide with each other in the amplitudes and trends. Thus more refined dynamic analytical models for some special type vehicle systems will be possible in the future.
