The adhesion between wheel and rail plays an important role in the braking performance of trains. Though there have been numerous studies on the characteristics of adhesion phenomenon, a general understanding from the physical point of view is still lacking. In this work, the adhesion mechanism between wheel and rail was investigated by studying the mechanisms of pure rolling and sliding experiments. Tests were performed under various conditions to determine the physical phenomenon responsible for adhesion between wheel and rail. The results of this study is expected to aid in improving the braking performance of trains.

본 논문은 국내 고속형 화물열차에 적용되는 P4a 분배밸브를 갖는 화물열차의 장대 편성시 제동특성에 관한 것이다. 제동신호가 열차의 끝단까지 연결된 제동관을 통해 공기압력으로 전달되는 화차의 제동은 열차 길이와 사용된 밸브 등에 따라 영향을 받기 때문에 실험적 방법으로 확인한다. 장대화물 열차의 제동 특성은 평상시 운영의 약 2배인 50량으로 구성한 화물열차의 비상제동과 상용제동의 시험을 이용하였다. 1, 10, 20, 30, 50번째 차량에서 제동 실린더 압력이 측정되었다. 열차의 길이가 길어질수록 후방의 차량은 제동이 늦게 체결되는 제동지연 현상을 확인하였으며 특히 비상제동시 차량간 충격이 클 것을 예상할 수 있었다. 제한된 시험의 결과를 보완하고 향후 제동거리 계산을 위해 열차를 구성하는 모든 차량에서의 제동 압력을 예측할 필요가 있다. 제동시 각 차량에서의 압력은 계산시간의 단축과 신뢰성 있는 정보를 제공하는 것으로 알려진 선형보간, 단계형, 지수함수형의 경험적 모델들을 이용하여 예측하였다. 경험적 모델들의 예측결과는 실측한 결과들과 비교하였으며 지수함수형 모델이 비교적 정확하게 예측하고 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 장대화물열차의 안전한 운용에 기여하고 화물열차의 제동거리 예측과 제동시 차량간 충격량 계산 등에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

The Generation IV Lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR) take the liquid lead or lead-bismuth eutectic alloy (LBE) as the coolant of the primary cooling circuit. Combined with the natural characteristics of lead alloy and the design features of LFR, the system is the simplest and the number of equipment is the least, which reflects the inherent safety characteristics of LFR. The nuclear main coolant pump (MCP) is the only power component and the only rotating component in the primary circuit of the reactor, so the various operating characteristics of the MCP are directly related to the safety of the nuclear reactor. In this paper, various working conditions that may occur in the normal rotation (positive rotating) of the MCP and the corresponding internal flow characteristics are analyzed and studied, including the normal pump condition, the positive-flow braking condition and the negative-flow braking condition. Since the corrosiveness of LBE is proportional to the fluid velocity, the distribution of flow velocity in the pump channel will be the focus of this study. It is found that under the normal pump condition and positive-flow braking conditions, the high velocity region of the impeller domain appears at the inlet and outlet of the blade. At the same radius, the pressure surface is lower than the back surface, and with the increase of flow rate, the flow separation phenomenon is obvious, and the turbulent kinetic energy distribution in impeller and diffuser domain shows obvious near-wall property. Under the negative-flow braking condition, there is obvious flow separation in the impeller channel.

This paper deals with the design of a touch free eddy-current brake for high speed transportation systems by using 2-dimensional Finite Element Method (2-D FEM). The eddy current brake systems have to equipped with maximum braking force and deceleration at the given volume or mass, high braking force at small rate, attraction forces as small as possible and stable construction. The parameters, such as the number of pole, electric ampere-turns and slot width have influence on these braking characteristics. For the magnet to satisfy above-mentioned performance in high speed, the braking performance according to variation of the parameters are analyzed by the 2-D FEM. In addition, the magnet stack width is determined from equivalent stack width that is calculated by solution of the Field with scalar potential. From these results, the magnet of optimized configuration with maximum braking force and minimum attraction force is designed by the process of detail design.

Recently, researches about the eco-friendly vehicles such as hybrid electric vehicle, fuel cell vehicle and electric vehicle have been actively carried out. The regenerative braking system is a key technology to improve the vehicle energy utilization efficiency because it transforms the kinetic energy to the electric energy through the electric motor. This new braking system requires cooperative control between electric controlled brake and regenerative brake. Therefore, it is necessary to establish fault-diagnosis and fail-safe evaluation criteria to secure reliability of the regenerative braking system. In this paper, the failure types and causes in regenerative braking system were analyzed. The transient behavior characteristics were examined based on fault-diagnosis and fail-safe upon failure of regenerative braking system.

This paper presents a regenerative braking control scheme for Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM) drive in Electric Vehicles (EVs). The main purpose is to maximize the recovered energy during battery charging by taking into account the nonlinear physical characteristics of the Switched Reluctance Machine. The proposed regenerative braking method employs the back-EMF in the generation process as a complicated position-dependent voltage source. The proposed maximum power recovery (MPR) operation of the regenerative braking is first based on the maximization of the extracted power from the machine and then the maximization of the power transferred to the battery. The maximum power extraction (MPE) from SRM is based on maximizing the energy conversion ratio by the calculation of the optimum PWM switching duty cycle, turn-on, and turn-off angles. By using the impedance matching theorem that allows the maximum power transfer (MPT) of the MPE, the proposed MPR is achieved. The parametric averaged value modeling of the machine phase currents in the chopping control mode is used for MPR realization. By following this model, a nonlinear equivalent input resistance is derived for the battery internal resistance matching. The effectiveness of the proposed regenerative braking method is demonstrated through simulation results and experimental implementation.

The Korean tilting train called Hanvit 200 was launched recently in Korea to improve train speed up to 200 km/h at conventional lines. In this paper, we propose a HILS system for simulations of mechanical braking of the Hanvit 200 train using actual ASCU, actual dump valves, Simulink, dSPACE board, and ControlDesk software. In the proposed HILS system, dynamics of wheelsets, bogies and car body, brake force generation, creep force generations are realized via mathematical models, and anti-skid logic is realized using actual components. The validity of the proposed HILS system is demonstrated via comparing results of real-time and off-line simulations.

Three different kinds of brake discs including two coated brake discs and one steel disc were tested under the same experimental conditions on a reduced scale braking test bench. A braking test bench was specially designed to analyse thermo-mechanical and frictional behaviors of two types of brake with different sizes in stop and hold braking modes. Plasma spray coating technique was also used to coat the discs with ceramic powder. During the test four commercial brake pads were coupled with discs. Ceramic coated discs showed good stability in friction coefficient at high speed and high energy braking conditions. But they caused large wear loss of pad mass compared with the steel disc. It was shown that thermal barrier effect in ceramic coated discs adjusted the thermal partition between pad and disc. For a steel disc. it showed fluctuating friction coefficient at high speed but small wear loss of pad mass compared with ceramic coated discs.
