A study to build a reliability model of electronic ballasts for the fluorescent lamp has been performed in this study. We selected the widely being used specification, MIL-HDBK-217 for the study. We briefly reviewed the basic concepts of the electronic ballast with the selected reliability specification. We then developed a reliability model for the ballast using MIL-HDBK-217 and predicted the reliability. We further provided some guides which should be considered in future model development.

In spite of recent advances in ballasted railway track, the correct choice of ballast for rail track is still considered critical because aggregates progressively deteriorate under traffic loading and environmental exposures. Various ballast requirements, functions and duties have been defined by researchers, railway companies and countries' regulations even though it needs to be integrated to make following proper decision during track operation and maintenance. A proper understanding of ballast properties and suitable tests are prerequisites for minimizing maintenance costs. This paper presents a capable classification for ballast characteristics which need to be investigated beforehand to such a way, firstly to assign ballast functions, secondly need to clarify ballast requirements, thirdly to map appropriate tests to evaluate ballast characteristics and then it must be such that if ballast cannot carry out one of these duties, be able to call there is ballast defect. The paper is structured in order to achieve these objectives.

Ballast particles have an irregular shape and are discrete in nature. Due to the discrete nature of ballast, it exhibits complex mechanical behaviour under loading conditions. The discrete element method (DEM) can model the behaviour of discrete particles under a multitude of loading conditions. DEM is used in this paper to simulate a series of three-dimensional direct shear tests in order to investigate the shear behaviour of railway ballast and its interaction at the microscopic level. Particle flow code in three dimension (PFC3D) models the irregular shape of ballast particles as clump particles. To investigate the influence of particle size distribution (PSD), real PSD of Indian railway ballast specification IRS:GE:1:2004, China high-speed rail (HSR) and French rail specifications are generated. PFC3D built-in linear contact model is used to simulate the interaction of ballast particles under various normal stresses, shearing rate and shear box sizes. The results indicate how shear resistance and volumetric changes in ballast assembly are affected by normal stress, shearing rate, PSD and shear box size. In addition to macroscopic behaviour, DEM represents the microscopic behaviour of ballast particles in the form of particle displacement at different stages of the shearing process.

Field measurements were conducted to analysis dynamic characteristics of existing steel plate girder railway bridges without ballast. Three bridges which have 9m, 12m, 18m span length in Kyoung-Bu and Ho-Nam Line were selected for test. According to the each bridge, dynamic vertical deflections and vertical and horizontal accelerations were measured. Natural frequencies, vertical deflections and accelerations obtained from field tests were compared with the limit value specified in the UC, Japanese and Korean railway bridge specification.

본 논문에서는 half-bridge inverter를 이용하여 400[W] 고압나트륨 램프용 전자식 안정기를 설계하였다. 제안된 등가 LC 직렬 공진회로에서 인덕터와 커패시터의 값을 이론적으로 계산하고, LC 직렬 half-bridge 회로에 대한 IsSPICE 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 계산결과를 검증하기 위해 전자식 안정기를 설계 제작하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험에 의한 전자식 안정기의 제반특성은 시뮬레이션 결과와 대단히 유사하였다. 실험결과 출력전압 400[W]에서 역률 99.3[%], 전류 전고조파 10.01[%], 램프효율 119[lm/W]의 좋은 성과를 나타내었다.

이 연구는 프랑스에서 사용되는 철도 밸러스트를 선정하는 규준에 대하여 논하고, 프랑스 북부에 위치하고 있는 한 채석장을 대상으로 철도 밸러스트 선정 효율성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 철도 밸러스트의 품질은 대부분 입도분포와 마모 저항성으로 평가된다. 마모 저항성은 로스앤젤레스 마모 실험과 마이크로 드발 실험에 의해 평가되며, 고속철도와 일반철도용 밸러스트의 품질은 이들 두 마모 지수에 의해 결정된다. 이 연구는 채석장의 생산 과정에서 단계가 다른 3 종류의 골재를 채취하여, 각각에 대하여 마모 실험을 수행하여 획득한 마모지수들의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 로스앤젤레스 마모 지수(LA)와 마이크로 드발 지수(MDA) 사이에는 높은 상관도를 보이고 있고, 단계별 골재들 사이의 마모 지수도 높은 상관도를 보이고 있다. 특히, 발파 직후 현장에서 채취한 골재의 마모 지수(LA 및 MDA)와 최종 생산 단계에서 채취한 골재의 마모 지수 사이의 상관관계를 이용하면, 현장에서 빠른 시일 내에 최종 골재의 품질을 큰 오차 없이 예측할 수 있어 작업 효율성이 증대할 것으로 기대된다.

Field measurements were conducted to analysis lateral dynamic characteristics of existing steel plate girder railway bridges without ballast. Three bridges which have 9m, 12m, 18m span length in Kyoung-Bu Line were selected for test. According to the each bridge, dynamic lateral deflections and accelerations were measured. From the present study, it was observed that dynamic lateral amplification phenomena caused by a fluctuation of lateral force were occurred under the current running circumstances. Lateral deflections were occurred below than that specified in Korean railway bridge specification, but lateral accelerations is a match for vertical accelerations. From now on, it is in need a plan to reduce lateral accelerations for the conventional railway Line speed up.

A dynamic characteristics of existing steel plate girder railway bridges without ballast were investigated from the finite element analysis. Span lengths, types of vehicle and running speeds are selected as parameters for analyses. For more exact analysis, it was adopted that 3-dimensional bridge models and wheel loads were produced by averaging field measured wheel loads of running vehicles at various speeds. Dynamic vertical deflections, dynamic amplification factors and vertical accelerations of bridges having 9m, 12m and 18m span length were investigated and compared with the limit values specified in Korean railway bridge specification.

The dynamic behavior of railway bridges originates from dynamic properties of various spans and structural types. As a result, the exact estimation of dynamic properties of the railway bridge can produce the exact estimations of dynamic performances of the railway bridge. The damping ratio affects the dynamic reponses of the railway bridge in the vicinity of the critical speed seriously. Eurocode, National Annex of each European country and Japan have their own specification for the damping ratio for the estimation of dynamic performance of railway bridges. In our case, the specification for Honam high speed railways follows the Eurocode. In the present study, for the verification and regulation of the damping ratio and investigation of various dynamic properties, modal tests of various structural types are performed. In addition, for the investigation of effects of track structures on the dynamic property of the bridge, ballast track and concrete track are installed and tested.
