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.

A two degree-of-freedom model for the bogie and car body of an EMU(Electrical Multiple Unit) was implemented on the basis of the experimental data which was actually measured during the running test of an EMU. The air spring of the EMU was modeled using Nishimura's air spring model to accommodate viscoelastic characteristics. Numerical simulation for the variation of th e design parameters of the suspension system shows that reduction of the stiffness of the air spring by decreasing the internal pressure of the air tank or increasing the size of the auxiliary tank can reduce the bounce of the car body within the stability range of the suspension system.

The acceptance test of KTX has been performed in Korea. During the test, lateral vibration of carbody over the accepted value called swat was found. KTX has 20 car trainsed formation whose trailer cars are linked by articulate bogies. So this study is performed to see the effects of long trainsed formation on vehicle dynamics and the train stability by 20 car vehicle model. Firstly the reliable vehicle model which shows well the tendencies appeared in the tests on the high speed test line is required to find the cause of lateral vibration and the countermeasure. Vehicle model was made for the analysis with VAMPIRE. The analysis results show that secondary air spring lateral stiffness is the most significant parameter to cause carbody lateral vibration. Mode analysis results show that he least damped mode shape is similar to the vibration pattern shown in the tests that the amplitude of the motion increases along the train set and decreases in the tail part. For the case of short train formation with 7 or 10cars, sway does not happen. But in the case of longer train formation with 16 or 20 cars, sway was found.

In a subway vehicle, a lateral damper is used for compensating the lateral stiffness deterioration due to the air-spring as a secondary suspension. This lateral damper can reduce the lateral vibration of the carbody. When the damping force of the lateral damper is lowered, the running stability and ride quality of the subway vehicles worsens and the lateral motion of the carbody is increased. In this study, the lateral displacement variation of the carbody according to the damping force of the lateral damper was analyzed by multi-body dynamics to solve the abnormal impact problem during vehicle operation. Furthermore, the noise and vibration due to abnormal impact were considered. An adequate damping coefficient of the lateral damper for the subway vehicle treated in this paper was suggested for preventing abnormal impact.

This study was carried out to improve the ride quality of high-speed electric multiple unit. Through dynamic analysis of the HEMU-430X, the range of the equivalent conicity with a critical speed of 300 km/h was between 0.05 and 0.25. The initial adopted wheel profile of HEMU-430X was S1002. The equivalent conicity of S1002 with the mileage of more than 40,000 km was about 0.033 and it was confirmed that XP55 is more suitable for stable operation because XP55 has the equivalent conicity of over 0.061. In order to improve ride quality of high-speed electric multiple unit, the change of installation angle of the yaw damper was suggested from $7.35^{\circ}$ to $0^{\circ}$. From sensitivity analysis and optimization, the air spring lateral and vertical stiffness was suggested to be reduced by 30% and the secondary vertical and lateral damper damping coefficient was increased by 50%. By applying this, it was expected that the car body acceleration could be improved by about 20% on average. The HEMU-430X's yaw damper installation angle was changed to $0^{\circ}$ and the damping coefficient of the lateral damper was increased by 30%. When the test run was carried out at the speed of 300 km/h on the Kyungbu high-speed line, the vehicle lateral acceleration had improved by 34.3%. The effect of additional improvement measures proposed in this paper will be tested in the on track test. The riding quality improvement process used in this study can be used to solve ride quality problems that can occur in commercial operation of high-speed electric multiple unit in the future.
