Coupling systems for trains need more complicated buffer equipments than existing systems because the recent tendency of the regulations enforces trains to be safe for collisions even when the driving speed is higher than before. Using hydraulic buffer is an effective way to satisfy the requirement while it causes the increase of the cost for the coupling system. In this study, we introduce the methodology to build a simulation model for the hydraulic buffer, which could be installed into the coupling systems. In the simulation model of the hydraulic buffer, the reacting force is determined by both buffer stroke and speed whereas the elastic buffer model is designed by using only the buffer stroke in other studies. The simulation results with the advanced hydraulic buffer model shows that the simulating results can be close the real experimental results around 10%, and, if we considers friction forces, the simulation calculates the maximum force within 10% comparing to the experimental.

The rolling stock is composed of several cars. In order to operate in combination, it is necessary to connect the device, called coupler, between the rolling stocks. When the collision occurs between cars, couplers should be able to absorb the shock. Urban railway has used only rubber absorbers. But recently, the hydraulic buffer has been considered in general railway. In order to know the performance of the buffer it should be conducted to experiments. But whenever this combination change, we should experiments to know a lot of the dynamic behavior of each coupler. These experiments are generally replaced by the simulation, since a lot of time and cost consuming. The quasi-static map of hydraulic buffer obtained by the experiments is required for the simulation. However, the experiments for obtaining such a quasi-static map is costly and time consuming. In this paper, it proposes a method for deriving the quasi-static map of hydraulic buffer from the theoretical model.

상부 도파로와 중간 결합층이 적층된 단일모드 광섬유를 기본구조로 하는 측면 연마 광섬유 결합기를 상호 광 결합이 일어나는 영역을 다층막 도파로로 등가화하여 결합 효율을 해석하였다. 다층막 구조에서 중간 결합층의 유무에 따른 반사도를 계산하여 상부 도파로의 굴절률의 함수로 도시하였고, 상부 도파로의 굴절률이 광섬유 코어의 굴절률보다 클 경우 중간 결합층의 조건에 의해서 광 결합이 증가되어짐을 보였다. 리튬나오베이트를 상부 도파로로 가지는 결합기의 실험결과를 톤해 이론적 해석의 타당함을 보였고 계산 결과와 일치함을 보였다.
