The main wearing slider of pantograph is a difference which is considerable to wear phenomenon according to material properties. Especially, Cu-type wearing slider suddenly occurs the abnormal wear by precipitation, this threatens the travelling safety of the train. The abnormal wear by precipitation and arc influences are main factor decided to life time of Cu-type wearing slider and contact wire. Consequently, the application of the main wearing slider with wear resisting capacity, electrical conductivity, resistance arc and lubrication is demanded. In this paper through tribologic approach, overcame abnormal phenomenon of the Cu-type wearing slider by the precipitation and for the economic efficient augmentation by durability improvement and the travelling safety were accomplished. The Cu-type wearing slider which has excellent electric conductivity and arc characteristic but it occurs the normal and abnormal wear phenomenon according the precipitation which changes, respectively. Consequently, this phenomenon grasps fixed quantity according to precipitation, a mileage and wear volume then Fe-type wearing slider compared and analyzed.

The wearing slider of the rail motor car's pantograph is considerable changed by the type and the material properties. Especially, precipitation and arc influences are main factors decided to life time of wearing slider and contact wire. This study is wearing phenomenon analysis of Cu-type wearing slider with high electric conductivity and resistance arc through experiment by running train. Author observed that wearing phenomenon of Cu-type wearing slider with normal and abnormal wearing characteristics and comparatively analysis precipitation, mileage and weight influences of exchanged Cutype and Fe-type wearing sliders. In this paper result showed that necessity for the application which is the Fe-type of wearing slider had superior wear resisting capacity etc., through tribology approach.

Pantograph is set on the roof of Subway. This plays the role of staying proper current on Subway when Subway is running or not. Pantograph includes Slider. Slider is most important part of Pantograph because this part is used to receive current from Contact Wire by dynamic interaction with Contact Wire. In general, material of Slider is steel, copper, or carbon alloy. Especially, SEOUL METRO uses Slider of sintered cualloy, but there is problem. This Slider causes over wearing during rainy season. We should reduce wearing between Contact Wire and Slider. Reducing this wear is most valuable technology in Subway system. I performed experiments to find out the best way that reduces the wear. I can find the best way as I change the rate of the alloy.

This paper is about the copper slider with high electric conductivity and resistance arc. A new copper slider which has enhanced resistance against frictional wear was developed. By alteration of its material components and manufacturing process, its material property has been enhanced. To verify its enhanced wear-resisting capacity, a laboratory test and a field test were carried out. As the laboratory test, a dynamo test was performed and its test result showed that the developed new copper slider had superior wear-resisting capacity to the currently used copper slider. The new one showed double durability of the current one and normal wearing characteristics. A filed test was performed on the Metro subway lines at service by Seoul Metro. The field test showed similar results to those from the laboratory test, which the d eveloped new copper slider has double superior durability and sound wearing patterns. Authors strongly believe that the replacement of the copper slider currently in use by the developed new one will contribute to the economic and efficient operation of the subway line system

Pantograph of the electric train is the important part receiving current by adhereing contact wire. Wearing rate of pantograph or contact wire is changed by the type of pantograph and material of adhering part. In special, the weather influences the relative wearing rate and wearing type of pantograph Slider and Contact wire with steep wearing in arc and life cycle of pantograph slider. Presently, the weather causes side-wearing and over-wearing of pantograph slide installed in electric train. So it is difficult to manage and operate the electric train. Although the quality of slide using in line4 vehicle was finished the test in line 2 vehicle experimentally, it has to apply after pantograph is installed in some electric trains and check the influence in it and contact wire. It is because line4 section is very different from line2 section. Experimental application is the sequence to certify the safety and abrasion resistance importantly by enlarging experimental application with increase of the experimental electric train. The lenth of line4 in Seoul Metro is 71.5[km]. It is long section. The line is mixed DC 1,500[V] section and AC 25,000[V] section. It has underground section of 41.5[km] and ground section of 30[km]. Ground section is about 42% and receives much influence in the rain during the rainy season. After experimental application we found that this pantograph slide has twice as much abrasion resistance despite a little deviation and found the occurrence probability of arc and side-wearing is decreased considerably.

This study is to understand the preferences of pilots, flight engineers and crew who work in the same aircraft but are exposed to different working environments and perform different mission operations in order to develop an ergonomic flight jacket. Based on a preliminary investigation, a survey of 107 pilots and 36 flight engineers and crew was conducted. The results are as follows; Pilots can control the temperature inside the cockpit, so they are less exposed to the cold when working, while flight engineers and crew are exposed to the cold more because they have many external tasks. The reason for the problem of the current flight jacket was a difference in ranking between two groups, but the highest ranking was poor dimensional suitability due to the habit of wearing layers of clothing. As a result of preferred design, there were significant differences between groups in the item of overall style. Pilots preferred a bomber jacket style(P:68.2%, E&C:44.4%), on the other hand, flight engineers and crew preferred a field jacket style(P:26.2%, E&C:55.6%)(p<.01). They preferred a stand collar(P:71.0%, E&C:86.1%), a fastener slider for a front fastening(P:62.6%, E&C:61.1%), fastener tape cuffs(P:54.2%, E&C:47.2%), a jacket with a softshell(P:86.9%, E&C:83.3%), fleece as softshell material(P:88.8%, E&C:69.4%), and fastener sliders as a attaching method(P:69.2%, E&C:61.1%). A hem fastening will be selected differently according to the overall style of outshell. Additionally, they preferred more than 5ea pockets(P:51.4%, E&C:44.4%), fastener sliders as pocket's fastenings(P:48.6%, E&C:61.1%), armpit ventilations(P:62.9%, E&C:58.5%). The results of above will be considered to design an ergonomic flight jacket.
