Polymeric suspended insulators for the electric track line have been developed. The main elements to design polymeric insulators are the insulation ability related with materials of FRP core and housing, and the optimal structure related with fitting parts and interface characteristics. To confirm the design fitness of insulator samples the electric field distribution by FEM and mechanical stress distribution by NASTRAN program was analysed with housing shed shapes and fitting structure. The leakage distance and breakage voltage properties which are core parameters to determine electric insulation ability are selected according to the requirement values of user specification, then the power frequency wet withstand voltage was specified above 22kV and the leakage distance was required above 290mm. The contamination condition of the electric track line was the heavy class according to IEC 815 in order to retain the enough safety margin against overvoltages.

Thermal decomposition kinetics for two different types of polyurethane elastomers prepared with 2,2'-dichloro-4,4'-methylenedianiline (MOCA) and 3,5-dimethyl-thiotoluenediamine (Ethacure-300), based on PTMG/TDI isocyanate prepolymer, were studied using non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Thermograms were obtained and analyzed using Friedman (FR) and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) methods for activation energy, $E_a$. The results obtained showed that decomposition reaction of both samples was observed similarly to occur through three different stages, i.e., initial stage with vaporization of low molecular weight materials, second stage of urethane linkage decompositions, and later stage of polyol segment decompositions. However, activation energy values at each stage for the sample cured with Ethacure-300 was much lower than those for the sample with MOCA, exhibiting relatively lower thermal stability for the sample with Ethacure-300 than that with MOCA.

An elastic plate bar jointed to a rigid bar is considered. The bar is subjected to uniform axial tension. A theoretical approximate solution is obtained in an infinite hyperbolic series form and some numerical results for various Poisson's ratios are presented. A rubber plate joined to a strong wooden plate has been tested to obtain an experimental data and the results are compared with theoretical ones. Two values for vertical displacements are in good agreement but it is not satisfactory for horizontal displacements. The conclusion arrived at are as follow : The natures of stress distributions and deformed shapes given by above theoretical solution are compatible in mechanical sense. The magnitudes of stress and displacement components would not be reliable for exact works. A sharp shear stress concentrations are detected at the both ends of the joint.

In this paper, the intoner noise reduction for subway railroad vehicles was studied by improving transmission loss of carbody panels and side doors, and on-line tests were conducted to examine the exterior noise levels at various running conditions. Also the transmission loss for design candidates of the carbody specimen was measured in two reverberation rooms. From the results of the tests, side door gap is the most dominant factor affecting the Interior noise level of subway railroad cars with a sliding typed side door. The next one is revealed to transmission loss of a floor panel. To improve the transmission loss of the carbody, many activities were conducted such as, treatment of resilient and sound-absorbing materials and reducing the gap of the side door by adopting a brush and rubber, etc. The estimated interior noise level for modified car which is designed with improved carbody panels is lower than original car by about 5㏈.

It is the urgent task of induce the inhabitants to utilize the public transportation instead of the personal transportation to dissolve the traffic jam. But construction of the subway, the representative substitute means, demands a great of investment expense including various kinds of expenses. So the technical development and research of standardization of FRT(Fuel cell Rubber tired Train), the eco-friendly public transportation system low in construction expenses, effective, excellent in approach as well as in traffic, are propelled positively. This project wants to propose exterior design FRT in which original creative methods are utilized with the target of development and construction of FRT which coincide with anthropocentric eco-friendly traffic system. Utilizing the proposed style as the basic materials, this project wants to grasp difficulties, and to establish the way to solve and develop them.

The purpose for this study is to examine the vulcanization characteristics, especially the damping, elastic modulus and viscous modulus properties of filler 50phr filled NR compounds and to find out the compounds which can be used as damping materials in industry. For this study, compounds were prepared with filler filled compounding formula. Their vulcanization characteristics, elastic modulus, viscous modulus and damping properties were examined by mean of the rheometrics dynamic spectrometer. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. 1. The elastic modulus values of the maxium under the condition of 1Hz frequency, showed the order as follows, $HAF>Silica>FEF>GPF>SRF>Clay>CaCO_3\;coated>CaCO_3$. 2. The damping values of the maxium under the condition of 1Hz frequency, showed the order as follows $Silica>HAF>FEF>GPF>SRF>Clay>CaCO_3\;coated>CaCO_3$.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a rational engineering conductive carbon filled composite through understanding of the effect of conductive carbon black. Polycabonate(PC), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene copolymer(ABS) and PC/ABS resin were used as matrix of the conductive polymer composites. From the experimental results, PC filled with the fiber shaped carbon black showed a possibility to be a rational engineering conductive composite.

Recently, the construction of infrastructures has been booming and accelerating to keep up with rapid economic growth. Construction activities and operation of transportation facilities cause unfavorable effects such as civil petitions associated with vibration-induced damages or nuisances. The objective of this study is to develop vibration-controlled concrete using various vibration-controlling materials , and also to investigate dynamic properties of concrete beam depending on damage level.

The challenge to be faced in public transportation today is to satisfy human needs with the least delay, with the smallest number of accidents, and with the most economic use of energy, space, materials, man-power and money. One possible solution may lie in city train system, including AGT system. Specially, Passenger space in AGT is important to balance the budget of layout with passenger's satisfaction. This study focuses on lay-out and space, comfort which should be considered from the conceptual design stage of the interior layout work. Traditionally, the interior layout of the passenger room has emphasized ridequality and style. However, as the train becomes more prevalent and versatile, the focus also tends to shift toward layout and space to have comfortable circumstances. After all, the purpose of this research focused on arrangement a rational interior layout of the train through ergonomics research. Finally, the key was ensuring the comfortable environment based on cultural background of the passenger.

The rheological properties of complex materials such as polymer melts show complicated non-Newtonian flow phenomena when they are subjected to shear flow. These flow properties are controlled by the characteristics of flow units and the interactions among the flow segments. The non-Newtonian flow curves of poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel were obtained in various concentrations and temperatures by using a cone-plate rheometer. By applying non-Newtonian flow equation to the flow curves for PVA hydrogel samples, the rheological parameters were obtained. The PVA hydrogel samples are shear thinning under increasing shear rate modes which result in thixotropic behavior.
