  • A performance delivers the contents and feeling through human bodies and stage settings in the limited space of a stage. Among the stage settings, the lighting creates overall atmospheres effectively according to the situations of the performance such as a time flow, a change of seasons, an expression of the mental state of the performer. As the LED lighting is used more widely, the number and the size of the lighting is being decreased, which makes it possible for various devices to be used. However, just as conventional lighting devices, most of them are fixed. So it is difficult to use them at a blind spot and to replace them. To solve this problem, this article suggests a system which replaces lighting automatically and moves. As it can moved to a spot we want on a rail, and the lighting system can be replaced by itself, it can have various lighting effects, increasing the effectiveness of the performance. Additionally, it can also decrease the danger of a worker operating the lighting device located at a high place. At the mock-up experiment, its mobility and stability on a rail were tested using the wheel of the Modular Robot.

  • The wedge type rail clamp has the operating mechanism: First, the jaw pad clamps a rail with small clamping force Next as the wind speed increases, the clamping force of the jaw pad is increased by the wedge. In order to design the wedge type rail clamp, we need to determine the proper wedge angle to minimize the sliding distance of a roller and the proper clamping angle of a locker to generate the initial clamping force of a jaw pad. The researches for the proper wedge angle have conducted, and in this study we conducted the investigation to determine the proper clamping angle of a locker in the rail clamp with wedge angle of $10^{\circ}$. Because the initial damping force of the jaw pad was determined by the clamping angle of the locker, in order to carry out the clamping force of a jaw pad, we measured the locking force applied to a locker with respect to the clamping angle of a locker, such as $3^{\circ},\;4^{\circ},\;5^{\circ},\;6^{\circ},\;$ using a pressure gauge, and compared the results with the FEA results.

  • Currently, logistics are in small quantities and in diverse forms, and the amounts are continuously increasing. Railway logistics however are losing their market share every year mainly due to low operation speed and loading time, which means the trucks are covering the most of the freights. In order to solve these situations, this paper proposed the high speed freight train as working multi-modality with other modes to make effective transshipment. The high speed freight train has maximum operation speed of 300km/h and electric power to run centralized power supply. There are large dual door system, bogie system covering fluctuating load of 15[ton], automatic loading device, ULD(unit load device) bed and ULD locking system in this freight rolling stock. We calculated the performance of powering and braking capacity for this train and proposed how many vehicles are composed of train set. The results in this paper can help to make a decision to define the technical specification of High-speed freight train for the efficiency of rail freight service.

  • A mixed eight-node hexahedral element formulated via the Hu-Washizu principle as well as the field extrapolation technique is presented. The mixed element with only three translational degrees of freedom at each node can provide extremely accurate and reliable performance for popular benchmark problems such as spacial beams, plates, shells as well as general three-dimensional elasticity problems. Numerical calculations also show that when extremely skewed and coarse meshes and nearly incompressible materials are used, the proposed mixed element can still possess excellent behaviour. The mixed formulation starts with introduction of a parallelepiped domain associated with the given general eight-node hexahedral element. Then, the assumed strain field at the nodal level is constructed via the Hu-Washizu variational principle for that associated parallelepiped domain. Finally, the assumed strain field at the nodal level of the given hexahedral element is established by using the field extrapolation technique, and then by using the trilinear shape functions the assumed strain field of the whole element domain is obtained. All matrices involved in establishing the element stiffness matrix can be evaluated analytically and expressed explicitly; however, a 24 by 24 matrix has to be inverted to construct the displacement extrapolation matrix. The proposed hexahedral element satisfies the patch test as long as the element with a shape of parallelepiped.
