The vibration of a running railway vehicle can be classified on lateral, longitudinal and vertical motions. The important factor on the stability and ride quality of a railway vehicle is the lateral motion. The contact between wheel and rail with conicity influences strongly on the lateral motion. In this study, an experiment for the vibration of a running railway vehicle was performed using a of the scale model of a railway vehicle. Also, the effects on the car-body, bogie and wheelset were examined for the weight and the stiffness of the second suspension system. The experimental results showed that the lateral vibration increases as the wheel conicity and stiffness of the second suspension system increase. And the lateral vibration of the bogie increases as the mass ratio between car-body and bogie increases. Also, the lateral vibration of the wheel becomes high at low speed, while the wheel of 1/20 conicity makes severe vibration at high speed running.

The bogie of high speed freight car running on conventional line is welded bogie modeled on Y25 bogie developed in Europe. Y25 bogie has speed limit of 110km/h. But it has limiting factors to speed-up as increasing maintenance cost and friction parts pedestal. And also it was reported that cracks are found in the parts where center beam meet bolster and endbeam near bracket for braking part. This study includes stress analysis improved structure of welded bogie for strength evaluation by numerical method and experimental method. According to the study, new configuration bogie shows improvement in strength.

In general the limit of EMU bases on the construction gauge. But to save the cost for construction, there is often a case that the gauge of construction for bogie is narrower than the existing gauge. Finally, out-board bogie type cannot be applicable because of the space. In this case, we can use the in-board bogie type which the support distance of both suspensions is narrower than out-board bogie. But we cannot use an in-board bogie indifferently because car with in-board bogie must also have the same performance as out-board bogie in wider gauge. Accordingly, we have to consider how many moments in the suspensions are applied due to the narrower support distance. And the characteristics of suspensions in the in-board bogie must be decided from the moments.

Sensitivity analysis of suspension elements of an articulated bogie for light railway vehicles is presented. The ride, stability and safety are used as dynamic performance indices. Suspension elements of 10 and a conicity of wheel are used as design variables. To analyze sensitivity of design variables. the railway vehicle dynamics analysis program AGEM is used. The results show that the secondary suspension elements have a strong effect on ride and the primary suspension elements have a moderate effect on ride. Conicity of wheel has a strong effect on the stability. The safety is not effected by all the design variables.

Numerical simulation and experimental study to evaluate the critical speed of the railway bogie according to the tread inclination of wheel profile were conducted using 1/5 scale model. It has been shown that the results of the critical speed analysis for the scale bogie model is very close to the test results using scale bogie model and the critical speed is decreased in proportion to the increase of equivalent conicity of wheel profile. Results of this study show that the scale model could be applied to research area relating to vehicle stability as an alternative to overcome the experimental problems caused by full scale test on the roller rig.

Maglev vehicles levitated and propelled by electromagnet as non-contact between vehicle and guide rail is environmentally friendly transport system which have many advantages like ride comfort and guide way construction costs. As a goal of commercial operation at Incheon International Airport in 2012, development of vehicle is underway and proto-vehicle is test running at KIMM. The maglev bogie system of proto-vehicle, like railway vehicle, has functions to support weight of vehicle, transfer force of brake and propulsion and improve ride comfort through insulation of vibration and improve curve negotiation capability. The main components of a bogie are two modules consisted of electromagnetic, frame and linear motor, two tie beams to connect two modules and steering system to improve curve negotiation capability. The purpose of this paper is to describe general specification, structure, manufacturing process, performance testing, ride comfort of proto-vehicle and bogie system.

The object of this study is to ensure the stability of bulk cement cars conducting vibration performance test, dynamic characteristic analysis and static load test of bogie frame. In case of static load test, bogie static load test facility was used. In case of dynamic characteristic analysis, Vampire Software was used. In case of vibration performance test, real bulk cement cars were used in kyeung-bu line. In the results of static load test of bogie frame for bulk cement car, all structures satisfied allowable stress criteria of materials. The vibration performance test and dynamic characteristic analysis results satisfied allowable standards.

Stress analysis of the bogie frame by using the finite element method has been performed for the various loading conditions according to the results of vehicle dynamics analysis. Multiaxial fatigue analysis methods such as signed von Mises method, and typical critical plane theories were reviewed, and margin of safety for fatigue is defined. Multiaxial fatigue analysis program to predict the margin of safety of bogie frame under non-proportional loading conditions has been developed by using a commercial command language. Fatigue analysis of bogie frame under multiaxial loading was performed through this program and finite element analysis result. The procedure developed in this study is considered to be useful for the fatigue strength analysis in preliminary design stage of railway components under multiaxial loading condition.

This study proposes the integrity evaluation of the bogie frame using ultrasonic fractography analysis. Analysis objectives in this study are to investigate fracture planes of damaged zone by the A-scan method. The surface condition of fracture planes shows degree of degradation by the stress concentration. The detection of the natural defects in the bogie frame is performed using the characteristics of echodynamic pattern in ultrasonic signal. Results of ultrasonic testing agree fairly well with those of actual fracture plane. In quantitative fractography analysis, microstructures of actual fracture plane turned out to be intergranular and transgranular fracture. Proposed ultrasonic fractography analysis in this study can be used for the integrity evaluation of the bogie frame.
