The structural responses are often used to identify the structural local damages. However, it is usually difficult to gain the responses of the track, as the sensors cannot be installed on the track directly. The vehicles running on a track excite track vibration and can also serve as response receivers because the vehicle dynamic response contains the vibration information of the track. A damage identification method using the vehicle responses and sensitivity analysis is proposed for the vehicle-track coupling system in this paper. Different from most damage identification methods of vehicle-track coupling system, which require the structural responses, only the vehicle responses are required in the proposed method. The local damages are identified by a sensitivity-based model updating process. In the vehicle-track coupling system, the track is modeled as a discrete point supported Euler-Bernoulli beam, and two vehicle models are proposed to investigate the accuracy and efficiency of damage identification. The measured track irregularity is considered in the calculation of vehicle dynamic responses. The measurement noises are also considered to study their effects to the damage identification results. The identified results demonstrate that the proposed method is capable to identify the local damages of the track accurately in different noise levels with only the vehicle responses.

In this paper, a numerical method for evaluating the efficiency of vibration reduction of substructure under slab track is developed for optimal design of floating slab track. The equation of motion for train and track interaction system is derived by applying compatibility condition at the contact points between wheels and rails. The train is modelled by 3-masses system and the track by continuous support beam system. Numerical analyses are carried out to investigate the effect of train speed, stiffness and damping of slab-pad, and track irregularity upon vibration reduction in substructure under the track.

The whole track system is designed and maintained to provide satisfactory geometry. Renewal and collection decisions are often governed by track irregularities. To provide cost-effective track to meet in the need in the future it is essential to be able to improve the methods by which the performance of the track is monitored and to have reliable methods for prediction and planning. This paper develops computer-aided system for analysis and management of track irregularities. The main objective is to collect and monitor track irregularities for each conventional line to be used as an aid in making decisions on track correction and renewal. The final decision especially on track renewal, however, always be a decision made by man and not by computer-aided system.

Up to now, the only way is Floating Slab Track System, which cuts off vibration by installing spring between concrete slab and ground for the lines of particularly requiring attenuating vibration. The weak point of Floating Slab Track System is large increase of construction cost because normally the structure is getting bigger. In regards to this matter, Floating Rail Track System has been developed, which cuts off vibration by floating the first cause of vibration rail, and the system is in operation. In the thesis, the application of new attenuating vibration track system has been confirmed by studying theoretical background of Floating Rail Track System and evaluating dynamic deflection of track and attenuating of noise and vibration performance through various measurements from laboratory tests and site inspection.

In this study, the deformations and stresses occurred in the elastic rail fastening system were evaluated according to applied extreme track forces based on various field conditions, track curvature and poor properties. The purpose of this study is to establish a method for efficient management and suggest guide line for track construction in order to secure the performance quality of the elastic rail fastening system on the sharp curved track.. Therefore, initial construction qualities of rail and concrete bed, initial clamping force and applied extreme track forces were used into experiment as several parameters. Using these test results, the performance characteristics of the elastic rail fastening system were also evaluated. As a result, it suggested the method to secure long-term durability of fastening system and comparing sharp curved track to results on field test.

Since KHSL 2nd phase was adapted as a main track design, the interests of concrete slab track system have been gradually increased in the division of rail track engineering and many engineering companies have been trying to adapt a concrete slab track system at this moment. Advantages of this system proved in advanced country, japan and Germany etc. are excellent maintenance, track stability and increasing of buckling resistance This developed turnout is same with the KHSR 1st phase's design and applications rules, components and signaling system since it observes KTX specification. Comparing it with the former turnout, High-elasticity pad, lubrication-free roller slide plate and Rheda2000 PC sleeper are only different.

In this paper, a numerical method for vehicle-track interaction analysis is developed to evaluate vertical dynamic force subjected to rail surface. A vehicle is modelled by lumped masses system and track by multi layered continuous beam system. The equation of motion of vehicle and track interaction system is derived by considering compatibility condition at the contact points between wheel and rail. The input vibration source is given by the empirical formula of power spectral density of track irregularity, which is suggested by FRA. Using this method, dynamic impact factors with the train speed are evaluated.

철도교에서는 일정한 간격의 축중을 가지는 차량하중이 반복적으로 재하되므로 정적성능과 더불어 동적성능이 매우 중요하다. 또한 철도교의 상부에 부설되는 궤도시스템은 교량의 정 동적 성능에 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 실제 궤도시스템을 적용한 거더시험체를 제작하여 궤도시스템에 따른 교량의 정 동적거동을 분석하였다. 정적거동 분석에서는 교량 처짐 및 응력을 검토하고 중립축위치를 분석하였으며, 동적거동 분석에서는 고유진동수, 감쇠비, 하중크기, 하중진폭에 대한 영향을 궤도시스템별로 검토하였다. 궤도부설에 따른 정적처짐 변화검토를 통해 궤도 부설전에 비해 자갈궤도는 약 7%, 콘크리트궤도는 약 50%의 강성 증가 효과가 있음을 확인하였고, 궤도 부설 시 교량의 고유진동수가 낮아졌으나 감쇠비 변화는 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 최대하중 크기가 증가할수록 철도교량의 동적응답(처짐 및 가속도)이 선형적으로 증가하였으며, 하중진 폭은 공진 시 교량의 동적응답을 크게 증가시키는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서, 자갈궤도는 교량의 강성을 일정 부분 증가시키고, 콘크리트궤도의 경우 자갈궤도 부설 교량에 비해 상당한 강성기여도를 가지고 있음을 실험적으로 입증하였으나, 정량적인 강성기여도의 크기는 자갈궤도 및 콘크리트궤도의 설계값에 따라 상이할 수 있기 때문에 이를 적용할 수 있는 궤도의 질량 및 강성기여도 분석방법 개발이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, in-situ static and dynamic tests of four pre-stressed concrete (PC) track beams with different span lengths and curvatures in a straddle monorail transit system were reported. In the static load tests, the strain and deflection at critical sections of the PC track beams were measured to determine the load bearing capacity and stiffness. The dynamic responses of strain, deflection, acceleration, and displacement at key positions of the PC track beams were measured under different train speeds and train loads to systematically study the dynamic behaviors of the PC track beams. A three-dimensional finite element model of the track beam-vehicle coupled vibration system was established to help understand the dynamic behavior of the system, and the model was verified using the test results. The research results show that the curvature, span length, train speed, and train loads have significant influence on the dynamic responses of the PC track beams. The dynamic performance of the PC track beams in the curve section is susceptible to dynamic loads. Appropriate train loads can effectively reduce the impact of the train on the PC track beam. The PC track beams allow good riding comfort.
