본 논문에서는 열차와 교량의 상호작용과 주행속도에 의해 결정되어지는 진동지속시간과 차체연직가속도 증폭효과를 고려하여 철도교량의 진동사용성 허용처짐을 제시하고자 하였다. 열차가 교량을 통과할 때의 처짐 형상을 사인파로 가정하고 열차와 교량의 상호작용을 진동전달함수로 표현하여 철도교량의 진동 사용성 허용처짐을 유도하였다. 그리고 진동지속시간을 고려하기 위해 연직가속도 허용기준으로서 진동지속시간을 고려한 교량구조물의 진동사용성기준을 사용하였다. 매개변수연구를 통하여 열차 주행속도의 증가에 비례하여 차체연직가속도는 증가하지만 교량최대변위의 변화는 미미함이 확인됨으로 인하여 차체연직가속도 증가와 동반하여 연직가속도 허용기준역시 증가하는 것을 보정할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단하였다. 따라서 전개된 철도교량의 진동사용성 허용처짐식에 매개변수연구를 통하여 가정한 가속도 증폭계수를 적용하여 열차의 증속에 의한 가속도증폭효과를 고려하였다.

In recent years, rapid-increasing market share of compact cars and SUVs has brought for both consumer and automaker to pay more attention on crash compatibility between the compact passenger vehicles and the light trucks (i.e., Pickups and SUVs). Vehicle compatibility regarding both self and partner protection in frontal crash of different class vehicles is one of hot issues in vehicle safety. Furthermore, it is expected that the amendment of UNECE-Regulation 94 to implement compatibility issues in couple of coming years. In this study, conceptual design of compatibility compliant frontal vehicle structure which subjects to improve? the distribution of frontal crash loading and structural engagement between vehicles is introduced. The effects of proposed vehicle structure on both possible candidates (i.e. FWRB, FWDB and PDB) for a compatibility evaluation test procedure and car-to-car crash are also investigated.

A standard for the vibration magnitude of a maglev train is presented herein to ensure a comfortable ride for the passengers. The vibration magnitude is determined from the vertical acceleration of the car body. A parameter analysis of the maglev train system is then performed considering the vehicle-structure interaction, and a deflection limit of L/1300 is proposed to satisfy the standard for the vertical acceleration. The proposed deflection limit is applied to the dynamic analysis of the actual maglev train system to assess applicability. Compared with the existing standard for the guideway structure, the proposed deflection limit is expected to enable economical design and construction.

본 논문에서는 3차원 자기부상열차에 대한 열차-가이드웨이 상호작용 해석기법을 제시하고자 한다. 수직 및 수평방향 변위, 피칭, 롤링 그리고 요잉에 대한 자유도를 각 보기와 차체에 대해 고려하여 총 25자 유도 자기부상열차에 대한 운동방정식을 유도하였다. 제어방식으로는 UTM01에 적용된 제어기법을 이용하였고, 궤도 틀림을 고려하기 위하여 미국 FRA에 적용하고 있는 궤도 불규칙성에 대한 밀도 스펙트럼 함수를 이용하여 조도를 생성하였다. 같은 조건하에 2차원 모델과 3차원 모델의 동적응답 결과를 비교하여 타당성을 확인하였고, 2차원 모델에서 고려할 수 없는 수평방향 조도를 도입하였을 때 수직방향 부상공극에는 두드러진 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 수평방향 부상변위에 있어서 중요하게 작용함을 확인하였다.

In this study, an analysis method for maglev train-guideway interaction is verified using field measurement data. The cabin and bogies of the maglev train are modeled as rigid bodies that are allowed to have heave and pitch motions. Levitation forces from the electromagnetic suspensions on the bogies are controlled using an active control algorithm. The guideway is represented using the Euler-Bernoulli beam. Considering rigorously the changes in air-gaps and material points at which the levitation forces are applied due to the pitch motions of the bogies, dynamic analysis of maglev train-guideway interaction is performed. Using field measurement data, obtained from the Incheon Airport Maglev Railway, the analysis method is verified. Accuracy of the analysis method is investigated. It is determined that the structures in the railway are designed and constructed safely according to the design code for maglev railways.

In order to get dynamic serviceability of a train travelling on a railway bridge, comfort limits with the deflection of bridge and vertical acceleration on car body are proposed in Eurocode, Shinkansen design criteria, The design guideline of the Honam High-speed railway. The design guideline of the Honam High-speed railway has quoted Eurocode. Therefore it is expected that supplementation of comfort limit of railway bridge according to expansion of span length and the improvement traveling speed of trains in the future would relatively fall behind developed countries in railway. Therefore, in order to secure technological competitiveness in world market, the study was conducted to propose the deflection limit based on vibration serviceability of railway bridges that can consider bridge-train interaction and travelling speed increase. The parameter study and bridge-train dynamic interaction analysis was conducted to figure out the correlation of vertical acceleration on car body and bridge displacement according to the increase in travelling speed. Also, the trend of increasing vertical acceleration on car body according to the increase in travelling speed was confirmed, and the amplification coefficient of vertical acceleration on car body was suggested. And the deflection form and vibration of the bridge were assumed to be in harmonic motion, and transfer function and the amplification coefficient were used to develop the dynamic serviceability deflection limit of the high-speed railway bridge as a formula.

In this study, deflection limits based on the vibration serviceability of guideway structures are proposed considering maglev train-guideway interaction. Equations of motion are derived for a simplified maglev railway. Feedback constants for the control of the electromagnetic force for levitation are optimized in order to minimize the airgap fluctuations. Deflection limits for a guideway are calculated for various operating speeds of a maglev train, span lengths of a guideway, and natural frequencies and damping ratios of the second suspension in order to satisfy the serviceability criteria for airgaps and for the vertical acceleration of a cabin. From the analysis results, proposed are requirements for the second suspension of maglev trains and deflection limits for guideway structures.

In this study, track dynamic interaction characteristics caused by the vehicle running through transitional section such as bridge abutments were studied using the finite element analysis program. The geometric condition of track was generated by trigonometric function and allowable maximum track irregularity is determined by KORAIL track maintenance criteria. The sub-infrastructure under rail fastener system was modelled by 3D solid elements. To reduce computational cost only half track line is numerically considered and the roller boundary condition was applied to each side of model. In this study, the vehicle-track dynamic interaction analysis was carried out for standard Korean transition section of concrete track and the dynamic behaviors were investigated. The dynamic characteristics considered are wheel load variation, vertical acceleration at body, and maximum Mises stress at each part of transitional section.

The transition area between a bridge and an earthwork is one of the weakest area of track because of the track geometry deterioration caused unequal settlement of backfill of abutment. In case of a ballastless track, the approach slab could be installed to prevent such a phenomenon. But, if there is occurred the inclined displacement on the approach slab by a settlement of the foundation or formation, the track is also under the inclined displacement. And this defect causes reducing the running stability of a vehicle, the riding comfort of passengers, and increasing the track deteriorations by excessive impact force acting on the track. In this study, parametric studies were performed to investigate the displacement limit on the approach slab to avoid such problems. The length and the amount of unequal settlement of approach slab were adopted as parameter for numerical analysis considering vehicle-track interaction. Car body accelerations, variations of wheel force, stresses in rail, and uplift forces induced on fastener clip were investigated. From the result, resonable settlement limit on the end of an approach slab according to slab length was suggested.

In this study, to describe vehicle-structure dynamic interaction phenomena with 1/4 vehicle model, nonlinear Hertzian contact spring and nonlinear contact damper are adopted. The external loads acting on 1/4 vehicle model are selfweight of vehicle and geometry information of running surface. The constraint equation on contact surface is implemented by the Penalty method with stabilization and the reaction from constraint violation. To describe pitching motion of various vehicles two types of the displacement constraint equations are exerted to connect between car bodies and between bogie frames, i.e., the rigid body connection and the rigid body connection with pin, respectively. For the time integration of dynamic equations of vehicles and structure Newmark time integration scheme is adopted. To reduce the error caused by inadequate time step size, adaptive time-stepping technique is also adopted. Thus, it is expected that more versatile dynamic interaction phenomena can be described by this approach and it can be applied to various railway dynamic problems with low computational cost.
