For the bolster type bogie, bolster anchor body connections are proviede to transmit the longitudinal loads for traction or braking between the carbody and the truck. The bolster anchor body connection is generally composed of anchor rod bracket, anchor rod and its fastening devices. The bolster anchor body connection shall be basically capable of withstanding a longitudinal load resulting from excessive braking case or impact. Additionally the north America standard requires that the anchor rod bracket shall be frangible, I.e. the anchor rod bracket shall fail and fall away under load before the carbody structure is damaged since to protect the cabody structure in the event of unexpected accident. This paper describes the shear connection design using the optimized mechanical fasteners in the bolster anchor body connection to satisfy these Northe America requirements.

사이드 볼스터는 자동차 시트에서 탑승자가 시트에 착석하였을 때, 더욱 안정성을 줄 수 있도록 옆에서 탑승자의 몸을 잡아주는 부품이다. 본 연구에서는 A, B 두 가지의 모델을 가지고 자동차 시트에서 사이드 볼스터에 대한 구조 및 피로해석을 수행하였다. 하중이 많이 실리는 부분과 자동차 운행 시 피로로 인한 파손 및 구조에 따른 내구성의 차이를 연구하였고 응력, 변형량의 분포 및 피로 수명을 알아보았으며 또한 그 강도 및 내구성을 검토하였다. 본 연구 결과는 사이드 볼스터의 설계에 따라 피로 파손을 줄이고 그 피로 수명 및 내구성을 증가할 수 있는 데 기여가 될 것으로 사료된다. 그리고 본 결과를 자동차 사이드 볼스터의 설계를 실제적으로 적용함으로서 제품을 향상시킬 수 있고 본 연구결과를 미적 감각을 가진 융합 연구에 응용하는 것이 유리하다고 사료된다.

The carbody underframe of TTX vehicle should be modified a lot for the installation of new devices such as an active suspension system between the bogie and the carbody of TTX vehicle, because the carbody underframe is one body structure consisting of a center sill welded with a carbody bolster. Modification operation of the carbody takes a lot of time and cost, because the huge sized carbody structure should be moved to a machining apparatus and machined to guarantee the manufacture accuracy of new device installation brackets. For this reason, modification operation improvement is needed to install new devices more efficiently between the bogie and the carbody. This paper introduce the development of 'bogie/carbody interface bolster' that not only supports the carbody weight but also enables new devices to be installed more efficiently between the bogie and the carbody. This development has advantage to reduce working time and cost to install new devices such as an active suspension system between the bogie and the carbody by minimizing the modification of the carbody of TTX vehicle.

A bus seat is required to be ergonomically designed in terms of its shape and physical properties to increase seating comfort. The present study is intended to develop a systematic bus seat evaluation protocol based on seating comfort. A total of 48 participants evaluated 12 parts (seat belt, recliner, armrest, headrest, upper-back support, lumbar support, seatback bolster, seatback overall, hip support, thigh support, seatpan bolster, and seatpan overall) of 12 bus seats with 17 subjective comfort measures (e.g., convenience of control, suitability of size, and overall comfort). Lastly, ergonomic features of shape and physical properties of each seat part were identified based on the subject evaluation analysis results. The developed bus seat evaluation protocol can be applied to evaluate various types of seats.

This study presents parametric studies for design of tiling mechanism to be used in 180km/h tilting train. The titling mechanism is composed of 4 links, a tilting bolster and an electro-mechanical actuator. First we have determined the installation height of tilting actuator using 3D tilting bogie modeling. Secondary, we verified movements of the tiling center and train body CG along variation of upper and lower span length. From this study, we obtained the upper and lower span length to minimize the lateral and vertical motion of CG of train body. Finally, we evaluated the tilting actuator force and power required to tilt the train body to $\pm$8$^{\circ}$.

This investigation is the result of a structural analysis by the finite element method and static loading test for the optimal structural design of an electric railway vehicle made of stainless 301L materials. We analyzed the stress and displacement of the existing electric car-body structure for predicting the position of concentrated stress, the flow of stress, rigidity to be occurred in the car-body structure when it is subjected to the vertical load. It was exposed that the side sills and window corners around the bolsters are the weak parts of the electric car-body structure because the bolsters of the electric car-body structure were subjected to the vertical load and dynamic load to be occurred during running. The flow of stress and the cause of stress concentration in the weak zone were studied in order to prevent the concentration of stress and buckling. The rearrangement of the structure and the selection of the beam elements were also carried out for optimum design of the structure.

This rafer explains a durability test of a large train car body made of carbon/epoxy composite material. The composite car body with the length of 23m was manufactured as a sandwich structure composed of an aluminum honeycomb core and CF1263 woven fabric carbon/epoxy faces. In order to evaluate durability of the composite car body, it was excited by two 500kN capacity hydraulic actuators installed underneath the body bolster. The natural frequency of the composite car body under full weight condition was found to be 4.33Hz. Based on this result, the excitation frequency and displacement of 5Hz and ${\pm}1.0mm$, respectively, were used as inputs for the durability test. The test was conducted for $2{\times}10^6$ cycles. During the test, the nondestructive tests using X-ray radiography and dye penetration method was performed to determine the presence of the cracks. Upon completion of the test, no cracks were found.

This study presents parametric studies for design of a tilting mechanism to be used in 180km/h tilting train. The tilling mechanism is composed of 4 links, a lilting bolster old an electro-mechanical actuator. The movements of the tiling center, CG of the train body, coupler center and tilting actuator along variation of upper and lower span length have been verified by the kinematic analysis. Moreover, the inclination angle and the stroke of the tilting actuator according to the variation of the tilting angle from +8 degrees to -8 degrees have been investigated. From this study, the relation between the movements of the CG of the train body, coupler center and tilting actuator and the height of the tilting center could be evaluated.

Since many design problems in the railroad, aerospace and machine structures involve considerations of the effect of cyclic loading, manufacturing and quality control processes must fully account for fatigue of critical components. Due to the sensitivity of the Paris law, it is very important to calculate the ΔK numerically to minimize the error of predicted fatigue life in cycles. It is shown that the p-version of FEM based on LEFM analysis is far better suited for computing the stress intensity factors than the conventional h-version. To demonstrate the proficiency of the proposed scheme, the welded T-joint with crack problem of box car body bolster assembly and a crack problem emanating Iron a circular hole in finite strip have been solved.

철도, 항공 및 기계구조물등의 많은 설계문제에서는 반복하중의 영향을 받기 때문에 제조와 품질제어 공정에서 특히, 반복하중의 영향이 심한 구조부품의 피로균열에 대한 연구가 충분히 선행되어야 한다. Paris법칙에서 응력확대계수범위 .DELTA.K에 10%오차를 수반하면 피로수명 N에는 50%정도의 오차를 초래할 만큼 민감도가 매우 크다. 그러나, 선형탄성파괴역학에 근거한 p-version 유한요소법은 응력확대계수를 산정하는데 있어서 종래의 h-version 유한요소법에 비해 훨씬 적합함이 증명되고 있다. 제안된 해석법의 효율성을 입증하기 위해 철도차량의 연결접합부에 있는 T-joint부위의 피로균열해석과 원공이 있는 유한판의 원공주위에서 발생되는 균열해석이 수행되었다.
