Characteristics of the local vibration modes of an aluminium extruded panel are investigated by the finite element analysis and modal testing. Practical methods to increase the damping of the local resonances are proposed. Effects by filling urethan foam in the core cavity and by coating tar on the panel surface are compared by experiments. Modified panel structures to shift the local resonance frequency band are proposed. The results of the study are utilized to predict the severe local resonances in the aluminium extruded panels and prevent their undesirable effect on the sound insulation.

Sound transmission characteristics are investigated on the aluminium extruded panels used for railway vehicles. An equivalent orthotropic plate model and mass law are applied to predict the sound transmission loss. An extruded panel specimen used in the floor of railway vehicles is manufactured and is tested to measure sound transmission loss by two reverberant chamber method. Predicted transmission loss I compared with measured values and the effect of local resonance on the transmission characteristics is identified. The results are applied to design the extruded panel having better sound insulation performance.

알루미늄합금 철도차량의 차제를 조립하기 위하여 적용하는 용접방식으로는 가스 메탈 아크용접과 가스 텅스텐 아크용접이 주로 적용되고 있다. 그러나 알루미늄합금은 강재에 비해 용접성이 불리하며, 용접결함을 제어하기 위하여 보다 엄격한 용접조건과 용접설비의 작업환경이 요구된다. 따라서 선진국을 중심으로 비 용융 고상접합 방식인 마찰교반용접(FSW)이 널리 상용화 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대형 중공형 알루미늄합금 차량에 적용되는 압출재 A6005 소재의 마찰교반용접 시 용접변수에 따른 용접부의 기계적 특성을 평가하고, 적용 공구에 대한 최적의 용접조건을 파악하고자 하였다.

Extruded aluminium panels have been widely used for railway vehicle structures because of their light specific weight and other merit. In the past, GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) and GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) were mainly used to join aluminium panels. But recently friction stir welding (FSW) is widely used. due to its lots of advantage. In this study aluminium A6005-T6 which are used for car body structures was chosen. The influence of main parameters such as : pin rotating speed, welding speed, shoulder diameter, pin length and tilting angle on mechanical properties was examined. Optical microscope observation, micro hardness test and tensile test were carried out. Tensile strength of the stir welded plates is 74% of that of the base material.

In a high speed train, aluminium extruded panel is widely used in floor, side wall and roof structures for high bending stiffness and weight reduction. However, with some inevitable reasons, aluminium extruded panel shows inferior sound insulation performance compared with the flat panel having same weight. Especially, occurrence of local resonance modes in the particular frequency band, is one of the main reason in the deterioration of the sound insulation performance. Local resonance modes are generated in the structure which consists of periodic unit structure, such as the aluminium extruded panel. The local resonance frequency is determined by the specification of the unit structure. In this study, we predict the local resonance frequency band on the aluminium extruded panel used for the high speed train, and investigate how the design modification in the unit structure influences the local resonance frequency band and panel bending stiffness. The purpose of the study is to provide the design information for the effective unit structure in order to improve the sound insulation performance of the aluminium extruded panel.

Sound transmission characteristics are investigated on the corrugated steel and aluminium extruded panels used for railway vehicles. Sewell-Sharp-Cremer(SSC) model, equivalent orthotropic plate model and equivalent mass law are applied to predict the sound transmission loss. The predicted values of the sound transmission loss are compared with the measured values. The reliability and the limitation of the prediction models are investigated. For the corrugated panels and honeycomb panels, the coincidence and local resonance severely deteriorate the sound insulation performance around the corresponding frequency bands. The result of the study shows that the equivalent orthotropic plate model and the SSC model can be used as good prediction models, if the coincidence frequency or local resonance frequency is correctly applied.

The sidewall of the HEMU-400x consists of two parts. One is the multi-layered structure including aluminium extruded panel and the other is the double glazed window. When the train runs in a tunnel, the equivalent sound insulation performance of the side wall significantly influences the internal noise levels. In aspect of the sound insulation strategy, it is important to make two parts have similar performance. In this study, the intensity sound transmission loss (ITL) is measured on the specimens of the two parts. Mass law deviation (MLD) is considered in order to compare the sound insulation performance of the two parts in respect of the weight. Contribution of each part to the sound insulation is analyzed and the sound insulation strategy is investigated to reduce the interior noise.

Recently, extruded aluminium-alloy panels have been used in the car bodies for the purpose of the light-weight of railway vehicles and FSW(Friction Stir Welding), which is superior to the arc weldings, has been applied in the railway vehicles. This paper presents the optimum design of the FSW process on A6005 extruded alloy for railway vehicles to improve its mechanical properties. Rotational speed, welding speed and tilting angle of the tool tip were chosen as design parameters. Three objective functions were determined; maximizing the tensile strength, minimizing the hardness and maximizing the difference between the normalized tensile strength and hardness. The tensile tests and the hardness tests for fifteen FSW experiments were carried out according to the central composite design table. Recursive model functions on three characteristic values, such as the tensile strength, the hardness difference(${\Delta}Hv$) and the difference of normalized tensile strength and ${\Delta}Hv$, were estimated according to the classical response surface analysis methodology. The reliability of each recursive function was verified by F-test using the analysis of variance table. Sensitivity analysis on each characteristic value was done. Finally, the optimum values of three design parameters were found using Sequential Quadratic Programming algorithm.

최근에 철도의 고속화에 따라 차량의 경량화가 요구되기 때문에 알루미늄을 적용한 차량이 증가하고 있다. 알루미늄 차량의 차체는 대부분이 가스용접을 사용하였으나, 이 용접방법은 접합부의 기계적 성질이 모재에 비해 상당히 저하되는 경향이 있다. Hitachi, Bombardier 등의 철도 선진 제작사를 중심으로 가스용접에 비해 접합부의 기계적 성질이 우수한 마찰교반용접을 알루미늄 차체의 용접에 적용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 철도차량에 사용되고 있는 A6005의 알루미늄 합금 압출재에 대하여 기존의 가스 용접방법인 GMAW와 새로운 용접방법인 마찰교반용접(FSW)을 적용한 경우에 접합부의 기계적 성질을 비교 분석하여 FSW가 GMAW에 비해 기계적 성질이 우수하다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, FSW를 적용한 경우에 대해 용접 변수가 접합부의 기계적 성질에 미치는 영향을 민감도 분석을 통해 확인한 결과, 공구의 이송속도가 가장 큰 영향을 주는 용접 변수임을 알 수 있었다.
