  • The bogie between the track and the railway vehicle body, is one of the most important component in railroad vehicle. Its effects on the safety of both passengers and vehicle itself, and on the overall performance of the vehicle such as riding quality, noise and vibration are critical. The bogie is mainly consisted of the bogie frame, suspensions, wheels and axles, braking system, and transmission system. The complex shapes of the bogie frame and the complicate loading condition (both static and dynamic) induced in real operation make it difficult to design the bogie frame fulfilling all the requirements. The complicated loads applied to the bogie frame are i) static load due to the weight of the vehicle and passengers, ii) quasi-static load due to the rolling in curves iii) dynamic load due to the relative motion between the track, bogie, and vehicle body. In designing the real bogie frame, fatigue analysis based on the above complicated loading conditions is a must. In this study, stress analysis of the bogie frame has been performed for the various loading conditions according to the UIC Code 6 15-4. Magnitudes of the stress amplitude and mean stress were estimated based on the stress analysis results to simulate the operating loads encountered in service. Fatigue strength of the bogie frame was evaluated by using the constant life diagram of the material. 3-D surface modelling, finite element meshing, and finite element analysis were performed by Pro-Engineer, MSC/PATRAN, and MSC/NASTRAN, respectively.

  • Intense acoustic load is generated when a launch vehicle lifts off, causing the damaging vibrations at the launch vehicle or satellite within the fairing. This paper is concerned with the prediction of lift-off acoustic loads for a launch vehicle. As a test example, the lift-off acoustic load on the Korean launch vehicle, NARO, is predicted by the existing calculation tool, the modified Eldred's second method. Although the acoustic sources, assumed as point sources, are to be located along the center line of the exhaust plume when using the Eldred's prediction method, the exact location of the deflected center line of exhaust gas flow is not usually known. To search for the most appropriate source positions, six models of source line distribution are suggested and the acoustic load prediction results from these models are compared with the actual measurements. It is found that the predicted sound pressure spectrum of the Naro is the most similar to the measured data when the centerline of the turbulent kinetic energy contour is used as the source line.

  • This paper introduces the results of acoustic loads test conducted on the upper stage assembly of KSLV-I, which is the first Korea space launch vehicle. A launch vehicle and its payloads are subjected to severe acoustic pressure loading when they lift off and ascent during the transonic periods. Acoustic loadings are spreaded out broad frequncy-spectrum up to 10,000Hz. Acoustic loads are a primary source of structural random vibration of the upper stage and payloads. Therefore, in order to verify the structural integrity of the upper stage assembly of KSLV-I and the survivability of its components under severe random vibration environment, acoustic loads test is conducted in the high intensity acoustic chamber with 142dB (overall SPL). The results show the structural design and component random vibration specifications well meet with the environmental requirements.

  • In order to estimate the integrity and identify the dynamic characteristics of buried gas pipelines subjected to vehicle loads, FE analysis is performed based on the 'Highway and Local Road Design Criteria' and the 'KOGAS Guideline for Pipeline Management'. The FE model describes the current burial condition of Korea properly, and the DB-24 load model is adopted for this research. This study considers a varying velocity in the range of $40{\sim}160\;km/h$ and $P_i=8$ MPa(internal pressure) with depth cover, Z=1.5 m. Maximum stress occurs at v=80 km/h and decreases after v=80 km/h. The maximum induced stress by DB-24 loads is about 10 MPa. Under the design pressure, however, the analysis results show that API 5L Gr. X65 pipelines have sufficient integrity to withstand the vibration of vehicle loads.

  • Purpose: It is to develop an agricultural three-directional dumping vehicle that can help farmers reduce intensive labor when carrying heavy loads and for easy dumping. In addition, a novel mechanism was applied for controlling the direction of the tilting cargo box by using a single hydraulic cylinder and simple apparatus. The overturning safety was analyzed to provide safe-use ground slope region of the vehicle to be used at upland fields and orchards. Methods: The developed three-directional dumping vehicle was constructed using a cargo box, vehicle frame, driving components, lifting components, and controller. The novel mechanism of controlling the dumping direction involves the operation of two latching bars, which selectively release or collapse the connecting edge between the vehicle frame and cargo box. A multibody dynamics analysis software (RecurDynV8R5) was used to determine the safe-use ground slope area when tilting the cargo box at slopes. A computer analysis was conducted by increasing the ground slope while rotating the vehicle when the cargo box comprised loads of 300 and 500 kg and stacking heights of 40 and 80 cm, respectively. Results: The three-directional dumping vehicle was successfully manufactured, and the cargo box was tilted at $37^{\circ}$ and $35^{\circ}$ for dumping forward and sideways. The latching bars were manually and selectively collapsed with the vehicle frame to control the dumping direction. When forward dumping, the safe-use ground slope was over $20^{\circ}$ in all vehicle directions and loaded conditions. Conclusions: A three-directional dumping vehicle was developed to reduce labor-intensive work in the farming environment. The user can easily control the dumping direction by using the control panel. The vehicle was safe to be used in most of the Korean upland fields and orchards (area over 96%) for the forward dumping.

  • This paper discusses the prediction and validation of design loads of satellite components using modal mass acceleration curve (Modal MAC). To calculate the acceleration upper bound of the satellite components subjected to the launch environment by the Modal MAC, the parameters of SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle were used, and the acceleration upper bound curve in the modal domain was derived. After that, the maximum acceleration loads applied to the satellite components were predicted by combining Modal MAC with the spacecraft interface loads of the satellite/launch vehicle and modal information of the satellite. In addition, the accuracy of the Modal MAC was validated through comparison with the results of the coupled loads analysis using a simple satellite and launch vehicle model.

  • In this study, theoretical analysis and evaluation tests were performed to assess the pipe stability against compaction equipments and vehicle loads when conventional construction criteria for pre-insulation heating pipes are applied and the alternative material, crushed sand, are used for backfills. The research outcomes shows that (1) the conventional code criteria for pre-insulated heating pipes is well established to support compaction equipments and vehicle loads, (2) the crushed sands as an alternative is usable as backfill materials for pre-insulated heating pipes based on the suitability evaluations of various types of pipes, and (3) the crushed sand agree well with the design consideration of pre-insulated heating pipes construction in the points of economical efficiency and construction criteria.

  • KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) has developed smart unmaned aerial vehicle(UAV) since 2002. Smart UAV has tilt rotor configuration which can take off and land vertically. For designing and developing smart UAV, it is necessary to obtain design loads. ARGON which use the panel method is multidisciplinary aircraft design program developed and modified by KARI and TsAGI. Panel method is very useful to obtain aerodynamic loads, so it have been used widely for aircraft loads analysis. For flight loads analysis, we have to prepare regulations and load conditions, and then design aerodynamic panel model, mass model and structure model. In this paper, we introduce the flight loads analysis procedure briefly, and show the smart UAV loads analysis procedure and result using ARGON.
