In general the surge pressure generated in hydraulic systems causes noise, vibration and odd effect to the system. To reduce the surge pressure, high frequency PWM control of 20KHz was attempted. To estimate the braking noise caused by surge, a vehicle equipped with on-board ABS hydraulic modulator has been experimented with respect to the various breaking condition. Thorough this experiments, it was found that breaking noise has been reduced using high frequency PWM control method compare with low frequency method. To evaluate high frequency control m practice, including verification of general functionality, EMI tests was experimented. Its was found that it is necessary to have the solution to electromagnetic interference(EMI) generated by switching elements.

Experimantal evaluation of an energy storage device with high rotational speed to store regenerative energy which might be generated during the braking period of the trains is presented. The proposed ESS is small scale model and has 5kW output power, high rotational speed. In general railway trains generate regenerative energy for 10-20 sec when the train brakes and also high traction energy is needed for very short moment (10 sec) when the train increases the traction force. Considering such characteristics of the railway system energy storage device for the railway should have very fast response property. Among the various energy storage devices flywheel energy storage system has the fastest response property, which means that flywheel ESS is the most suitable for the railway system.

Automatic transmission for heavy duty vehicles is a part of the power pack which includes steering and braking systems. This transmission in different from the one for passenger car. Therefore, in order to understand the trend of the important design parameters, maneuverability, acceleration performance and maximum speed, we need to analyze the total performance characteristics of the power transmission systems. In this study, modeling of the automatic transmission in heavy duty vehicle is carried out and the performance analysis method is presented. Results can be used for performance estimation data in the analysis for several combination method which determines the optimal parameters on the basis of penalty functions and weightings. And the estimation method of the important performance parameters such as engine inertia or power loss of engine by experiments is presented.

An optimal brake pad must have stable friction, low wear and least amount of squeal. In this study, the friction, wear and squeal behavior of some non-asbestos Kevlar materials have been evaluated experimentally. Four specimens with different formulations and a pin-on-disk machine were used for this study. To determine the role of each component in friction and squeal of a brake pad, statistical correlations have been obtained and discussed. The components tested were : Kevlar, Steel Powder, Barium Sulfate and fillers combined by Resin.

최근 자동차 브레이크의 전기적 시스템에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 본 논문에서는 자기 엑추에이터 브레이크 시스템(MABS)을 분석하였다. 주행 도중 차량의 이상 및 긴급 상황 발생시 MABS는 전기적 메커니즘을 통해 차량을 제동할 수 있다. MABS는 회전하고 있는 휠에 초당 수십회 작용하여 점차적이고 효율적으로 휠을 제동한다. 이는 제동시간의 단축과 안정성에 있어 향상된 성능을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소법을 적용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 MABS의 동작 특성을 분석하고, 실제 자동차의 상황을 가정하여 제동하는데 소요되는 시간 및 작동 회수 등에 대해 분석하였다.

In railway bridges, various loads including train load, transverse load and braking force are applied to continuous CWR or semi-continuous longer rail located on non-continuous bridge superstructures. The rail-girder interaction due to thermal expansion is also very complex in railway bridges because the thermal characteristics for each of the rails and girder are quite different. Recently, the bridge retrofits for seismic loads were performed on bridges not designed for these loads. These retrofits may however have limitations with respect to rail-girder interactions because, in general these retrofits address issues related only to seismic loads. In this study of seismic evaluations for railway bridges, the load effects on the bridge rails from the road beds through the continuous rails shall be considered. Practical methods will be proposed which will increase the railway stability. For this, rail-girder interaction analyses due to train loads, temperature changes and seismic loads were performed and the results reviewed from a practical point of view.

With modem computational fluid dynamics method (CFD), air-charging models of the air brake pipe system and auxiliary reservoir are built. Compared with one-dimension model, no empirical formula is introduced to solve branch pipe fields for two-dimension model. A modified operator-splitting method is presented to solve the coupled equations of pressure and velocity, and numerical simulation shows that it is very stable. Compare the numerical results with empirical data of heavy haul trains in home and abroad so as to prove the correctness of the theory and algorithm presented. This paper gives theoretic reference to the experiments of braking effects of heavy haul trains, and forms a basis for development of complete freight train air brake system simulation.

LRB(Lead rubber bearing) has small resistance force against slowly acting loadings such as temporal and creep loadings vice versa large resistance force against rapid loadings such as earthquake and braking loadings. By those mechanical characteristics, it has the advantage to reduce longitudinal load acting on abutments and piers, and moreover to in1prove the running stability of train by restricting the behavior of bridge under the required level. In this study, a stability evaluation method of CWR on the bridge with LRB is presented. Several parametric studies are carried to investigate how LRB contributes to the improvement of CWR stability.

Since electric railway load is variable largely due to starting and braking characteristics as well as various operation patterns, load modeling is not easy but complicated. For this reason, a simple technique for modeling of electric railway load of is required to analyze the AC substation system of electric railway. In this paper, a modeling technique of converter-based electric railway load is proposed and is tested using nonlinear loads on Matlab/Simulink.

The applications of SRM(Switched Reluctance motor) are dramatically increasing due to a simple mechanical structure, a high efficiency and a high speed drive characteristics. Energy recovery in the regenerative region is very important when SRM is used in traction drive. This is to reduce energy loss during mechanical braking and/or to have a high efficiency drive. To control excitation voltage during motoring and regenerating voltage in the generator operation in the SRM, multi-level voltage control is effective. This paper suggests multi-level inverter which is useful for motoring and regenerative operation. The proposed method is verified through simulations and experiments.
