Bogie frame of the electric car is an important structural member for the support of vehicle leading. In general, more than 25 years' durability is necessary. A lot of study has been carried out for the prediction of the structural integrity of the bogie frame in experimental and theoretical domains. One of the useful methods is reliability-based approach. The objective of this paper is to estimate the structural integrity of the bogie frame of an electric car, which is under the running test. We used two approachs. In the first approach probabilistic distribution of S-N curve is used. In the second approach, limit state function is used.

A lot of study has been carried out for the prediction of the structural integrity of the bogie frame in experimental and theoretical domains. The objective of this paper is to estimate the structural integrity of the bogie frame of an electric car, which is under the running test. F.E. analysis of bogie frame was performed to find locations for attaching strain gage and to estimate static stress. Dynamic stress were measured by using strain gage in order to evaluate the structural integrity of the bogie frame.

In this paper, we were performed a structural analysis and durability analysis for an integral frame with an axle according to development of the electric locomotive traction motor. In terms of the structural stability, as a result of the analysis modeling with coupling conditions of beam element and an alternative element of three-dimensional, the maximum von-Mises stress of the locking screw mounting frame were similar as 50MPa and 51MPa. Also A comparison of the natural frequency and the exciting frequency while driving of the electric locomotive No. 8200, the natural frequency is 627.05Hz~856.9Hz while the exciting frequency is not more than most 30Hz or 553Hz, 1110Hz. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the resonance.

The development of a tilting train with construction of electric line on the conventional railway is required for speed-up on the conventional railway with many curving sections. For development of tilting train, the study and development of the tilting system and tilting bogie having the different mechanism with a general high speed train will play a main role for improving the technology in the field of Korean railway The study and development of the pantograph tilting mechanism in order to keep a good contact behavior between a pantograph and a contact wire by tilting a pantograph on the opposite direction of the vehicle tilting direction. In this study, we analyzed the aerodynamic characteristic of a developing pantograph on the tilting train and obtained the contact force with catenary by aerodynamic lift force by the aerodynamic analysis. We also performed the numerical analysis for design the device controlling lift force on a pantograph. From the aerodynamic simulation and parameter study for a device to control the lift force, we will suggest the various shape and the optimal shape of it corresponding to a developing tilting pantograph. The Fluent software is used for the calculation of flow profile in this study.

Damage often occurs on the surface of railway wheels due to wheel-rail contact fatigue. It should be removed before reaching wheel failure, because wheel failure can cause derailment with loss of life and property. The increase or decrease of the contact fatigue lift by the metal removal of the contact surface were investigated by many researchers, but they have not considered initial residual stress and traction force. The railway wheel has the initial residual stress formed during the manufacturing process, and the residual stress is changed by thermal stress induced by braking. The traction force and residual stress are operated on wheels of locomotive and electric motor vehicle. In this study, the effect of metal removal depth on the contact fatigue life for a railway wheel has been evaluated by applying lolling contact fatigue test. The effect of the traction force and metal removal on the contact fatigue life has been estimated by finite element analysis. It has been found that the initial residual stress determines the amount of metal removal depth if the traction coefficient is less than 0.15. If the traction coefficient is greater than 0.2, however, the amount of metal removal depth is independent on the intial residual stress.

최근의 신 교통시스템 개발 동향은 주로 지속가능하고 친환경적인 교통수단을 제공하는데 초점이 맞춰져 있다. 그 중에서도, 수요응답형 순환교통(PRT: Personal Rapid Transit) 시스템은 그 가능성 때문에 주목을 받고 있으며, 첨단 전기 자동차(EV) 개발 기술과의 융합을 통해서 경쟁력은 보다 향상되고 있다. 하지만 전기 배터리에 의해 구동되는 차량의 경우 안정적이고 효율적인 운영의 측면에서 기술적인 어려움에 직면하고 있다. 본 논문에서는, 기술적인 난제를 극복하고 전기에너지를 기반으로 한 교통수단의 보급을 증대하기 위하여 태양전지에 의한 보조 전력 공급을 위한 설계적 접근방법에 대해서 모형실험을 통해서 논한다. 그 결과, 실제 차량에 적용했을 시 보조 전원 공급장치로서 일부 서비스 기기에 소요되는 전력량의 대략 11% 정도를 감당할 수 있을 것으로 예측되었다. 특히, 유연소재 태양전지의 장점은 저렴하고 가벼우며 디자인 의도를 최대한 살릴 수 있다는 데 있다. 무엇보다도 유연함과 용이한 부착성은 다양한 분야에서의 확대 적용 가능성을 보여준다.

본 논문은 인천국제공항철도에서 운행하고 있는 전동차의 동적특성시험을 수행한 결과이다. 인천국제공항철도의 직통형 전동차는 국내 처음으로 120km/h로 주행한 차량으로 탈선계수를 공차와 만차로 구분하여 측정하였다. 탈선계수측정결과 탈선에 대한 안전성을 판단할 때 가장 기본적인 지표로 사용하는 탈선계수는 공차 때가 만차 때보다 높게 나타났으며, 공차와 만차 모두 0.8 미만이었다. 속도에 따른 탈선계수는 80km/h를 전후한 속도 대역으로 운행하는 구간이 선로상태가 좋지 않은 구간으로서 탈선계수도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 횡압은 공차 때에는 2.1톤 미만이었으며, 만차 때에는 2.4톤 미만으로 발생하였다. 인천국제공항철도 전동차가 120km/h 주행에서도 안전함을 탈선계수 실측에 의해 확인하였다. 그러나 본 논문에서 적용된 평가방법의 경우 시험방법이 복잡하고, 측정장치 설치의 어려움이 있으며, 비용이 많이 드는 단점이 있었다. 따라서 측정이 간단한 방법으로 영업운전에서도 차량의 안전성을 확인할 수 있는 방안이 연구되어야 할 것이다.

Bridge bearings are important connection elements between bridge superstructures and substructures, whose health states directly affect the performance of the bridges. This paper systematacially presents a new method to identify the bridge bearing damage based on the neural network theory. Firstly, based on the analysis of different damage types, a description of the bearing damage is introduced, and a uniform description for all the damage types is given. Then, the feasibility and sensitivity of identifying the bearing damage with bridge vibration modes are investigated. After that, a Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) is built, whose input and output are the beam modal information and the damage information, respectively. Finally, trained by plenty of data samples formed by the numerical method, the network is employed to identify the bearing damage. Results show that the bridge bearing damage can be clearly reflected by the modal information of the bridge beam, which validates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Active suspension system improves ride quality with optimized suspension force, generated by electric, hydrolic or pneumatic power and controlled by micro-processor under various operation condition of train, while Semi-Active susepsion system provides optimized and controlled characteristics of suspensions such as damping coefficient without external energy. The benefits fo Semi-Active suspension are no required power source and to be made compact with lower cost. Train with narrow gauge could be more unstable than one for normal or wide gauge, and it could be more vibrated than others one by external force such as aerodynamic force and track irregularity. So, the reduced ride quality could be improved with appling with Semi-active suspension system. In this report, the Semi-Active suspension system for narrow gauge train shall be proposed and to prepare the Roller Rig test of this train, integration of system, development of control algorithm and confirmation of its performance with simulation tool would be taken.
