This paper presents a numerical study for the development of a low-noise low-vibration industrial wheel for non-pneumatic wheel to significantly reduce vibration and noise. For this, design, injection molding and performance testing were performed. Various geometric shapes and materials were taken into account. For numerical analysis, ANSYS, LS-Dyna, and ABAQUS were used to predict the behavior of the wheel under different loadings based on various design changes. Based on this, 4 prototypes were fabricated by changing the design of wheels and molds, and various vibration and noise tests were carried out. A vibration tester was developed and tested to perform the vibration noise test considering durability. A prototype and test of the final wheel was performed. In the case of the vibration test, the vibration levels were 81.16dB and 80.66dB, which were below the target 90dB. Noise levels were 53.20 dB and 52.55 dB below the target 65dB. In the case of the impact resistance test, it was confirmed that there was no change in appearance after impact. The product weight was measured to be 174g compared to the target of 190g.

In this study, the fracture characteristics of carbonized silicon grinding wheels were examined with tensile, compression, impact and bending test. The experiment was performed for the various grinding wheels with grain size #46, #80, and grade H, L, P, and one vitrified bond and one structure No.7. Also the centrifugal fracture rpm of carbonized silicon grinding wheels were measured and compared with the calculated values for the various wheel diameters and thicknesses. The results showed that the fracture tensile strength was $1.5~2.0Kg_f/mm^2$, and it was increased by decreasing grain size and increasing grade. The fracture compression loads were $1,600~3,000Kg_f$, and the inner stress was higher than outer's. And the absorption energy of impact test was 3.3~4.7 J, and it was increased by decreasing grain size but it was not effected by grade. The fracture bending stress was $0.1~0.2Kg_f/mm^2$, and it was increased by decreasing grain size and increasing grade. The centrifugal fracture rpm of carbonized silicon grinding wheel was about 8,500~12,000 and agreed well with the calculated value, and it was increased by decreasing diameter. However, it was almost constant for the reduction of wheel thickness.

When a train moves on rails, wheel and rail vibrate to produce contact noise and contact force. The former results in airborne noise and the latter transmits through bogie and excites carbody to generate structure borne noise. In this paper, wheel vibration is studied by theoretical and experimental approaches. Theoretical analysis is performed by finite element method and experimental analysis is performed by impact test. Using modal analysis and model tunning, we could have good agreement between the two approaches.

The noise emitted during train operation is generated with various reasons. It is known that the major noise generation is classified according to the ranges of train speed; that is, engine noise at lower speed range, rolling noise at medium speed range, and air-borne noise at higher speed range. These noises are transmitted in combined form with the noises generated from track components and under-carriage, etc. The rolling noise as a major noise at medium speed range is caused by the vibration occurred at wheel/rail interface. The vibration occurred at wheel/rail interface is transmitted to wheel and rail, and this vibration is emitted from wheel and rail as a noise. The object of this study is to investigate the effect of wheel damper of low noise wheel. In this study theoretical and experimental analysis is performed by numerical model calculations and impact test.

The modal characteristics of a compressor wheel of an automotive turbocharger have been investigated using an experimental method based on an acoustic frequency response function, p/f(${\omega}$), where p is sound pressure radiated from a structure, and f is impact force. First, a well-defined annular disc with narrow radial slots was examined to check whether the vibro-acoustic test could precisely determine natural quencies and vibration modes of structures showing that the vibro-acoustic test proposed in this paper was comparable to the conventional modal test with an accelerometer and the numerical analysis. The conventional method has been found to be inappropriate for compressor wheel because of additional mass due to the accelerometer and additional damping from the accelerometer cable alter the dynamic responses of the wheel blades. odal characteristics of the wheel have been defined using vibro-acoustic test and verified with the results from another conventional method using a laser vibrometer. Natural quencies and mode shapes of a turbocharger wheel, which can't be precisely obtained with onventional method, could be defined accurately without the additional effects from sensor and cable. Proposed method can be applied to small structures where conventional sensors and cables could generate troubles.

Owing to high oil prices and environmental issues, the automobile industry has conducted considerable research and made large investments to manufacture a high-efficiency automobiles. In the case of automobile wheels in which a lightweight material is used to increase the fuel efficiency a mold is used to increase the production efficiency; however, the use of the molding method for this purpose is very expensive. Therefore an automobile wheel consists of two parts. In this study a two-piece automobile wheel is manufactured by the friction stir welding(FSW) of Al6061-T6 to reduce the manufacturing cost and process complexity. The FSW welding tool geometry and rotational speed, and the feed rate are key factors that significantly affect the weld strength. Therefore tensile tests were conducted on specimens produced using various welding conditions, and the optimal FSW welding conditions were applied to manufacture aluminum wheels. To ensure reliability, prototype aluminum wheels were manufactured and their mechanical reliability and safety were evaluated using a durability test, fatigue durability test, and impact test. Through this study, aluminum wheel production was made possible using the FSW method.

The problem of wheel tread defects has become a major challenge for the health management of high-speed rail as a wheel defect with small radius deviation may suffice to give rise to severe damage on both the train bogie components and the track structure when a train runs at high speeds. It is thus highly desirable to detect the defects soon after their occurrences and then conduct wheel turning for the defective wheelsets. Online wheel condition monitoring using wheel impact load detector (WILD) can be an effective solution, since it can assess the wheel condition and detect potential defects during train passage. This study aims to develop an FBG-based track-side wheel condition monitoring method for the detection of wheel tread defects. The track-side sensing system uses two FBG strain gauge arrays mounted on the rail foot, measuring the dynamic strains of the paired rails excited by passing wheelsets. Each FBG array has a length of about 3 m, slightly longer than the wheel circumference to ensure a full coverage for the detection of any potential defect on the tread. A defect detection algorithm is developed for using the online-monitored rail responses to identify the potential wheel tread defects. This algorithm consists of three steps: 1) strain data pre-processing by using a data smoothing technique to remove the trends; 2) diagnosis of novel responses by outlier analysis for the normalized data; and 3) local defect identification by a refined analysis on the novel responses extracted in Step 2. To verify the proposed method, a field test was conducted using a test train incorporating defective wheels. The train ran at different speeds on an instrumented track with the purpose of wheel condition monitoring. By using the proposed method to process the monitoring data, all the defects were identified and the results agreed well with those from the static inspection of the wheelsets in the depot. A comparison is also drawn for the detection accuracy under different running speeds of the test train, and the results show that the proposed method can achieve a satisfactory accuracy in wheel defect detection when the train runs at a speed higher than 30 kph. Some minor defects with a depth of 0.05 mm~0.06 mm are also successfully detected.
