This paper describes the structural analysis result and load test result of accident EMU(Electric Multiple Units). Structural analysis and load test of EMU were performed for the criteria of safety assessment. Structural analysis using commercial I-DEAS software provided important information on the stress distribution and load transfer mechanisms as well as the amount of damages during rolling stock crash. The purpose of the load test is to evaluate a safety which carbody structure shall be considered fully sufficient rigidity so as to satisfy proper system function under maximum load and operating condition. The results have been used to provide the critical information for the criteria of safety assessment.

In order to operate trains both mainline railroad platform and metropolitan subway line platform, it is necessary to develop the door step equipment of the rolling stock regardless of low(500mm, mainline) and high level platforms(1,135mm, metropolitan subway line) because of the requisite door safety system. In this study, TMS-DCU interface is studied for low and high level railway platforms. As a result, Design circuit of TMS(Train Management System)-DCU(Door Control Unit) interface is suitable for telescopic sliding type doorstep unit to minimize damage to the carbody underframe of railway vehicles.

Aluminum alloy is very useful material for high speed transportations due to its high strength and light weight characteristics. Especially because of a weight reduction a large extrustion of aluminum alloy carbody has been manufactured. This aluminum extruded panel is a hallow extruded panel. This shape and thickness is various by designer's sense and experience and VAW's profiles. So it is important to find an optimized shape and thickness of AEP. In this study we get the AEP's thickness to minimize a weight by applying an applying an optimization algorithm. The results of the study can be used as basic guidelines double-deck trains in the future.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the effective analytical procedure using finite element model for the crashworthiness of motorized trailer of high speed train. The static crush of rectangular section frame is analyzed by experiment and numerical simulation. The equivalent thickness distribution of the aluminum frame ensuring the same energy absorption as the steel frame is obtained. In the analysis of end-on collision of TGV-K, deformed pattern and section forces are obtained, and the effect of crushable zone are examined. The numerical results are applied to the design of motorized trailer of Korean high speed train.

Regarding some of the components of the Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX), the lightweight-vehicle development was mainly focused to this study, and so as using the materials, the existing material, steel or aluminum carbody was changed to the composite carbody with both design and manufacturing methods. Therefore the evaluation of the performance of joint strength between composite and metallic boundary area, especially the under frame and the carbody was required, and the compressive and the bending tests were conducted as the sub-scale specimen. In this evaluation, there was involved the sufficient strengths at the joint area between the underframe and the carbody, and is resulted as the increment of the safety factor through the observation of failure conditions.

In development of a composite carbody tilting train, the structural safety is especially emphasized on the joint part between composite carbody and metal underfame because it is directly related to the safety of passengers. In this paper, detailed structural analysis including bending and compression was performed for the proposed designs of the joint part, so stress distribution and maximum deflection were obtained and compared to each other. Based on the results of initial designs, modified ones were suggested and the same analysis procedure as before was followed, through which we could confirm the excellence of new design.

In order to determine the most suitable material system for achieving the lightweight design while fulfilling the design requirements of carbody structures of Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX), aluminum carbody. composite carbody, and hybrid carbody combined with aluminum and composite structures were considered in the present study. The finite-element analysis was used to verify the design requirements or the TTX carbody structures with the material system considered in the design stages. The stresses in the carbody structures and deflections of underframe against static load cases were used as design criteria. The results show that the hybrid carbody structures are beneficial with regard to weight savings and structural integrity in comparison to aluminum and composite carbody structures.

The structural strength assessment of a carbody was performed using F.E. analysis and static test to verify the structural safety of newly manufactured carbody of a freight car. The freight car for the transportation of cold-rolled coils in steel making company was designed with SS400 steel for underframe and SM490A steel for bracket. Prior to the evaluation of structural strength, commercial finite element method(FEM) software was used for the stress and structural analyses on stress distribution in a carbody of freight car. The strain gages were attached on the carbody based on the FEM results. The actual vertical loading test and horizontal compression loading test were conducted, and the stress and displacement were obtained. Finally, the structural strength of carbody was evaluated by using a engineering techniques.

An amenity requirement of the passenger using public traffic is rising continuously, and also The Ministry of Environment established "Indoor air quality management guidelines in public facilities(Dec. 2006)". To satisfy such requirement, the photoplasma device to decrease VOCs(Volatile Organic Compounds) and suspended bacillus is applied to the underframe mounted HVAC(Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning) system for train. Air purifying method of photoplasma device is optical and chemical reaction that UV-light(wavelength less than 280nm) react with catalyst material(TiO2). To analyze the efficiency of photoplasma in this study, we measured the requirement time for toluene to decease down to 0.3ppm after contaminating the passenger cabin for train to toluene 1ppm.

This paper describes the structural deflection analysis method and result of EMU(Electric Multiple Units). During manufacturing of rail passenger coaches, the underframe is assigned a camber before it is integrated with other major assemblies of shell such as the side panel, the end panel and the roof. The camber of the positive deflection given intentionally to compensate for the sagging so that it remains straight at the maximum load. But some manufacturers have insisted there has no relationship between the camber and the safety or life cycle and they expect to reduce a manufacturing cost without a camber. So this study analyzes whether the camber influences on the safety or life cycle of EMU structure under a full load and regular driving condition. The structural dynamics model for a railway vehicle is introduced.
