The Light Collision Safety Device is used to protect the important part of trains and passengers at the low velocity accidents. The Light Collision Safety Device comprises mainly tension bolts, shear bolts and an energy absorber. The work mechanism of this device is that first, the tension bolts break at designed collapse load and second, the energy absorber absorb rest collision energy. In this paper, the tension bolt characteristics were validated by the simple tension test using the FEM(Finite Element Method) and the characteristic of the two types of energy absorber were compared by using the load-displacement curves and absorbed energy. Last, in order to determine integrated load-displacement curve of tension bolts and the energy absorber, the unified analysis was conducted by using the FEM.

Described in this paper is the result of a study on collision analysis of TGV-K using 1-dimensional model for crashworthy design. Crashworthy design of the front end is very important because majority of the impact energy (more than 70%) is absorbed by the crush of the front end when the train is collided with an obstacle like a tank lorry. Guideline for the crashworthy design can be described from the collision analysis of the whole train using a 1-dimensional model. Since the headstock of TGV-K is not designed in a crashworthy point of view, a conceptual design of the headstock to improve crashworthiness is suggested and evaluated using 1-dimensional collision analysis. The suggested design, which adopts an energy absorber and a crashworthy headstock, shows a good behaviour on the accident scenario of SNCF (collision at 110 km/h against a movable rigid mass of 15 ton).

본 연구에서는 1차원 충돌해석 방법을 이용하여 기존 철도차량 화물차량의 충돌 가속도 분석을 통해 기존 차량의 문제점을 확인하고, 충돌 안전성 향상 대안을 제시하고자 한다. 화물 철도차량의 국내 충돌사고 사례 및 유럽 및 북미 규격 분석을 통해 입환충격 상황과 충돌사고 상황 시나리오를 선정하였다. 차량의 질량과 연결기의 하중-변위 특성을 고려하여 화차용 1차원 충돌해석 모델을 개발하였으며, 상용 유한요소 해석솔버인 LS-DYNA를 이용한 1차원 충돌 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과 충돌속도 10km/h 이내의 입환충격 상황에서 화차의 가속도 레벨은 EN 12663 규격에서 제시하는 2g 이하로 안정된 수준으로 예측되었지만, 충돌속도 15~30 km/h 사이의 충돌사고 상황에서는 연결기의 완충용량 부족으로 차체의 변형 및 가속도 레벨의 증가가 예측되어 차체 구조 및 적재 화물의 안전에 취약한 구조임을 확인하였다. 충돌안전성 향상 방안으로 화차에 재료의 소성변형을 이용한 비가역적 충돌에너지 흡수장치를 적용하여 동일 시나리오로 충돌해석을 수행하였고, 기존 차량 대비 최대 12% 수준으로 가속도 레벨이 감소된 것을 확인하였다.

In recent years, there are so many serious crashes involving coaches, especially the frontal collision occupies 40% of the front of the vehicle, Frontal collisions account for 100% of the front of the vehicle affecting the driver and side-impact collisions that injure the person in the vehicle. Therefore, the research into improving and optimizing the structure is necessary for risk of injury for passengers in frontal accidents. In this paper, we have designed a Shock absorber that can absorb collision energy. Research using HYPERMESH software. to build the finite element model and calculate the meshing to suit the mesh size of 5mm. apply LS-DYNA software to calculate structural strength. In the study, for a vehicle to collide with a hard obstacle occupying 100% of the head of the vehicle. Then, the experimental design method, Minitab is used for find the structural parameters in the design. Improvement results showed that the acceleration of the impact on passengers and the driver is decreased by 55,17%. The mass of texture improvements is reduced by 11%, according to the requirements of European Standards ECE R94.

In this paper, we have developed numerical model for particulated flow through narrow slit using Eulerian-Granular method. Commercial software (FLUENT) was utilized as simulation tool and main focus was to identify the effect from various numerical options for modeling of solid particles as continuos phase in granular flow. Gidaspow model was chosen as basic model for solid viscosity and drag model. And lun-et-al model was used as solid pressure and radial distribution model, respectively. Several other model options in FLUENT were tested considering the cross related effect. Mass flow rate of the particulate through the slit was measured to compare. Due to the high volume density of the stacked particulates above the slit, effect from various numerical options were not significant. The numerical results from basic model were also compared with experimental results and showed very good agreement. The effects from the characteristics of particles such as diameter, angle of internal friction, and collision coefficient were also analyzed for future design of velocity resistance layer in solar thermal absorber. Angle of internal friction was found to be the dominat variable for the particle mass flow rate considerably. More defined 3D model along with energy equation for complete solar thermal absorber design is currently underway.

In this paper, numerically evaluated is the regulations for crashworthy design of the Korean standard urban train suggested by KRRI. The 4-car consist of K-EMU(Korean Electric Multiple Unit) train developed in recent is analyzed under various collision conditions such as normal coupling, heavy shunt, light and heavy collisions. The collision conditions are assumed as K-EMU collides against another stationary one at 5 kph, 10 kph, 25 kph and 32 kph. According to the numerical results and bibliographical study, it is necessary that the regulations by KRRI be complemented from crashworthy point of view. Furthermore, the K-EMU train is recommended to adopt a new coupler with an additional energy absorber or a mechanical fuse.

A study on collision analysis of TGV-K using a 2-dimensional model is described to evaluate its crashworthiness. Two-dimensional analysis gives good information on overriding behaviour and impact forces applied to interconnecting devices such as side buffers, ball & socket joints, hooks, pins, and fingers. Since the headstock of TGV-K is not designed in a crashworthy point of view, its conceptual design fur KHST(Korean High Speed Train), under development, is suggested to improve crashworthiness. The suggested design, which adopts an energy absorber and a crashworthy headstock, is compared with the conventional headstock on dynamic behaviour to the vertical direction under the accident scenario of SNCF (collision at 110km/h against a movable rigid mass of 15 ton). It is concluded that the design modification make little difference in vertical motion. To evaluate validation of the 2-dimensional model, the results fur longitudinal motion is compared with those of 1-dimemsional one. It is found that the two results are in good agreements.

PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) system is a new transportation system which will meet increasing demands of traffic in Korea. It is also an environment-friendly transportation and automatically operated. For these reasons, researches on the PRT system are actively undergoing, but the PRT vehicles have different forms of subway, bus, etc. There are no design standards to evaluate structural integrity, yet. In this paper, Structural design specifications are derived, which are based on the performance test standard for EMU and the ASCE-APM standards. We also perform the static and fatigue analyses by FE simulation and suggest strategies to improve an initial structure design. In addition, we derived the design specifications for energy-absorbing structures to meet the conditions of the collision scenarios predefined from a view point of operation safety.
