A numerical model for analyzing air-train-track interaction is proposed to investigate the dynamic behavior of a high-speed train running on a track in crosswinds. The model is composed of a train-track interaction model and a train-air interaction model. The train-track interaction model is built on the basis of the vehicle-track coupled dynamics theory. The train-air interaction model is developed based on the train aerodynamics, in which the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method is employed to deal with the dynamic boundary between the train and the air. Based on the air-train-track model, characteristics of flow structure around a high-speed train are described and the dynamic behavior of the high-speed train running on track in crosswinds is investigated. Results show that the dynamic indices of the head car are larger than those of other cars in crosswinds. From the viewpoint of dynamic safety evaluation, the running safety of the train in crosswinds is basically controlled by the head car. Compared with the generally used assessment indices of running safety such as the derailment coefficient and the wheel-load reduction ratio, the overturning coefficient will overestimate the running safety of a train on a track under crosswind condition. It is suggested to use the wheel-load reduction ratio and the lateral wheel-rail force as the dominant safety assessment indices when high-speed trains run in crosswinds.

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.

It is of great importance to assure the running safety and ride comfort in designing the floating slab track for the mitigation of train-induced vibration. In this paper, for this, analyzed are the system requirements for the running safety and ride comfort, and then, the behavior of train and track at the transition zone between the floating slab track and the conventional concrete slab track according to several main design variables such as spring constant, damping coefficient, spacing and arrangement of isolators and slab length, using the dynamic analysis technique considering the train-track interaction. The results of numerical analysis demonstrate that the discontinuity of the support stiffness at the transition results in a drastic increase of the vertical vibration acceleration of the train body, wheel-rail interaction force, rail bending stress and uplift force. The increase becomes higher with the decrease of the spring constant of isolators and the increase of the isolator spacing, but the damping ratio does not significantly affect the behavior of train and track at the transition. Therefore, to assure the running safety and ride comfort, simultaneously increasing the effectiveness of vibration isolation, it is effective to minimize the relative vertical offset between the floating slab and the conventional track slab by adjusting the spring constant and spacing of isolators at the transition.

An accurate measurement of the train-track interaction forces is important for track performance evaluation. In the field calibration test as a wheel load measurement process, the calibration system creates a different boundary condition in comparison with that in the train wheel passage. This study aims to evaluate a reliability of the field calibration test in the process of wheel load measurement. Finite element models were developed to compare the deformed shapes, bending moment and shear force profiles on the rail section. The analysis results revealed that the deformed shapes and their associated bending moment profiles on the rail are significantly different in two numerical simulations of the calibration test and the train wheel load passage. However, the shear stress profile on the rail section of the strain gauge installation in the field was almost identical, which may imply that the current calibration test is sufficiently reliable.

고속철도 자갈궤도에서 궤도틀림을 체계적이고 효율적으로 관리하기 위해서는 뜬 침목구간에서 차량이 궤도에 미치는 동하중의 특성을 파악할 필요가 있으며 이를 위해서는 뜬 침목을 고려한 차량과 궤도의 동적 상호작용해석기법의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 초기 레일의 처짐이 없는 경우 궤광자중에 의하여 발생한 레일처짐(궤도틀림)과 처진 침목과 자갈도상간의 침목 들뜸량을 계산할 수 있는 해석기법을 개발하였고, 궤도틀림과 침목 들뜸량을 동시에 고려할 수 있는 차량과 궤도의 해석기법을 개발하였다. 본 해석기법의 타당성은 타문헌에서 제시한 해석결과와 비교를 통하여 검증하였다.

This study shows organizational designs to increase the coordination between infrastructure and rolling stock operation organizations after rail reform based on wheel/rail interface and train/track interaction. Information sharing, face-to-face meeting, liaison role, task force, manager responsible for coordination, and team organization could help to coordinate infrastructure construction plan and train operation plan. It is necessary for the organizations to begin to study the interaction between track and train in Korean environments to make the coordination more efficient.

The transition zone between railway embankment and structures, or different track types is known to be an area in which problems often arise and where extra care needs to be taken with maintenance. Differences in track stiffness have dynamic effects and these increase the force in the track and the extent of deformation. In this study, the criteria for the change ratio of track stiffness along transition area, and proper transition length are presented through train/track interaction analyses. Those are derived on the basis of permissible limitations of train and track performances such as rail stress, uplift force of fastener, reduction of dynamic wheel force, and acceleration of car body. A feasible method of evaluation of track stiffness which is necessary when a designer reviews whether the criteria are satisfied or not is also presented.

In this paper, we introduce the on-line test of the current collection characteristics for HSR 350x(Korea High Speed Train project) that have been performed in the Kyoung-bu high-speed line since 2002. Through the analysis of measured data during on-line test, the variation trends of contact force between pantograph and catenary according to the track conditions and driving patterns are reviewed. This study shows that the track conditions do not affect on the dynamic performance between pantograph and the driving patterns are important factors in determining the good interaction of them.

열차 진동 저감을 위한 플로팅 슬래브궤도의 설계에 있어서 주행 안전, 승차감 및 사용성을 확보하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 플로팅 슬래브궤도에서 열차 주행안전과 승차감, 사용성 확보를 위한 요구조건을 분석하여 제시하였고, 열차-궤도 상호작용을 고려한 동적 해석기법을 적용하여 시스템 고유진동수, 스프링 지지간격 및 배치방법, 감쇠비 등 주요 시스템 설계변수에 따라 일반 콘크리트궤도와의 접속구간을 포함한 플로팅 슬래브궤도 구간에서의 열차 및 궤도의 동적 거동을 분석하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 일반 궤도와 플로팅슬래브궤도 간의 접속구간에서의 지지강성의 차이에 의해 윤중 변동율, 레일 응력, 레일 인상력 등의 동적 응답이 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 따라서 접속구간에서 스프링 지지간격을 좁히거나 스프링 강성의 차이를 완화시키는 방안이 주행안전과 궤도 사용성 확보를 위해 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 한편 차체 가속도로 평가하는 승차감은 접속구간에서의 지지강성의 차이에 의해서는 거의 영향을 받지 않고, 시스템 튜닝 주파수에 의해 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 승차감 확보를 위해서는 적절한 시스템 튜닝 주파수를 선정하는 것이 매우 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 이 밖에 감쇠비, 스프링 간격, 열차속도에 따른 영향을 분석하였다.

장대레일은 동절기에 기온하강으로 인한 인장력을 발생하는데 중위온도 이하로 떨어져 파단이 발생되면 인장파단과 레일 간에 틈이 발생되며 이를 개구부라 한다. 이 개구부를 차륜이 통과하면 충격하중이 발생하며, 큰 손실이 발생할 수 있는 열차탈선이 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 동적해석을 위해 개구부를 가진 궤도와 차량의 상호작용을 고려한 동적해석모델을 제안하였다. 궤도와 차량의 선형시스템은 비선형 헤르찌안 접촉 스프링에 의해 연성되었으며 전체 궤도-차량 시스템 운동방정식을 정식화하였다. 그리고 개구부에서의 상호작용 현상을 고려하여 궤도 불균일부의 함수를 정의하고 개구부에서의 전후방 레일 사이의 개구량을 고려하였다. 비선형 방정식을 풀기위해 동적해석은 수정된 Newton-Raphson 방법에 근거한 Newmark - $\beta$ 방법에 의해 수행되었다. 그리고 차량속도, 개구량, 레일지지강성에 따른 매개변수를 조건으로 수치해석을 수행하였다.
