The fifth wheel coupler is a heavy automotive coupling structure which connects a tractor and a trailer used for heavy-duty trucks widely. It is subjected to various loads simultaneously such as rolling, pitching and yawing loads as well as coupling frictional and impact loadings. Most of existing couplers have been overdesigned and, therefore, it is necessary to reduce the dead weight to increase the fuel efficiency. The topology optimization was applied in order to find conceptual layout designs which could show major load paths and ribs locations, and then the size structural optimization was performed in order to determine the heights and thicknesses of coupler ribs with the predetermined various loading conditions for the development of a new slim coupler with a minimum weight and high enough strength and stiffness. As the results of the topology optimum design, an efficient new coupling structure for truck trailers was designed. The weight of the new fifth wheel coupler was reduced by 4.9 %, compared with the existing one, even though all strength requirements were satisfied. The fatigue test of the new coupler was performed with cyclic vertical loads (+78.4 to +235.2 kN) and horizontal loads (-91.2 to +91.2 kN) simultaneously at 1 Hz and the life of 2,000,000 cycles were achieved without failure.

In these days, due to generalization of using smart mobile phone and wearable device such as smart watch, demand of Cover-glass and touch screen panel for protecting display increases. With increasing the demand of Cover-glass, slimming technique is promising for weight lightening, zero bezel. Cover-glass produced by this technique is required to decreasing thickness with increase strength. In the Cover-glass manufacturing process, mechanical processing and chemical processing has improve in the strength. Generally, Diamond electrodeposition wheel is used in mechanical process. Reinforced glass with the characteristics of the brittle and high hardness was manufactured by using a diamond electrodeposition wheel. At this time, Because of surface of the tool present non-uniform distribution of diamond particle, it has generate Loading of wheel and it has been decrease life of grinding tool, efficiency of grinding, quality and shape accuracy of workpiece. Thus Research is needed to controling particle distribution of diamond electrodeposition wheel uniformly. And it is necessary to study micro hole machining such as proximity senser hole, speaker hole positioned Cover-glass. Reinforced glass with the characteristics of the brittle and high hardness is difficult to machining. Processing of reinforced glass have generated wear of tool, micro cracks. Also, it is decreasing shape accuracy. In this paper, We conducted a study on how to control particle distribution uniformly about the diamond tool manufactured using elecetodeposition processing. It analyzed the factors that affect the arrangement of the particles in the electrodeposition process by design of experiment. And There is produced the grinding tool, which derives an optimum deposition conditions, for processing Cover-glass edge and the machinability was evaluated.

나달식 등 한쪽 차륜과 레일의 접촉력에 기반한 기존 탈선계수식으로는 열차 주행 시 여러 가지 요인에 의해 발생하는 다양한 유형의 탈선을 이론적으로 예측하기 어렵다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 개발된 단일윤축 탈선계수는 타고오름탈선, 미끄러져오름 탈선, 전복탈선 및 이들의 복합유형 탈선을 잘 예측할 수 있고, 접촉부 마찰계수, 플렌지 각 등 기존의 탈선계수식에서 고려하던 기계적 인자뿐만 아니라 윤중감소/증가, 궤간, 차륜직경, 축상 베어링 위치 등 다양한 탈선영향인자들도 고려할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 단일윤축 탈선계수식으로 이러한 다양한 탈선영향인자들을 고려하여 기존의 나달식, 바인스톡 식 등으로 구할 수 없었던 탈선현상을 분석한다. 마지막으로 동역학 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 이론적인 단일윤축 탈선계수식 결과들의 타당성을 입증한다.

현재 기존선의 고속화를 위하여 개발된 개량 분기기에 대한 성능 평가 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 동적윤중 현장계측을 통하여 기존 및 개량 분기기 충격계수가 산정되었다. 본 연구에서는 산정된 충격계수를 이용해 기존 및 개량 분기기 궤도 성능과 노반의 거동을 평가하였다. 궤도 성능 평가를 위해 동적윤중 및 레일압력을 검토하였고 노반거동 평가를 위해 수치해석을 이용하여 노반응력 및 침하를 검토하였으며, 기후변화 및 열차의 반복하중으로 인해 연약해진 노반의 안정성 검토를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 분기기 개선에 따른 동적윤중 및 레일압력 그리고 노반의 침하 및 응력의 현저한 저감 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, it is offering a numerical method which assesses running safety of the freight car loaded CWR when passing through on the conventional railway by additional lateral load. It is suggested based on the numerical reviews of the safety against derailment after seeking the derailment coefficient estimated by wheel load-lateral force equation in the section that curve radius is small

Transitional zones, one of the typical weak area of earthworks, require lasting a maintenance work due to a differential stiffness of substructures. It is very difficult problem that transition zone was perfectively prevented against a differential settlement. The transitional zone will deteriorate at an accelerate rate. This may lead to pumping ballast, swinging or hanging sleepers, permanent rail deformations, worn track components, and loss of surface and gauge. In this study, it is performed that settlement behavior in transitional zone was compared with small model test.

Ratcheting is a cyclic accumulation of strain under a cyclic loading. It is a kind of mechanisms which generate cracks in rail steels. Though some experimental and numerical study has been performed, modeling of ratcheting is still a challenging problem. In this study, an elastic-plastic constitutive equation considering non-linear kinematic hardening and isotropic hardening was applied. Under the tangential stress of the contact stresses, a cyclic stress-strain relation was obtained by using the model. Strain under repeated cycles was accumulated.

The analysis of mud pumping which causes track irregularities during softening of present roadbed is needed in order to prepare countermeasure that is efficient and reasonable against the softening of railway roadbed. In this study, model tests were performed in order to evaluate property of the railway softening under the train loading, considering the wheel load and the impact coefficient due to the train passing velocity. The existence of the mud pumping, settlements of roadbed and vertical earth pressure were measured under the train loading.

The rail/wheel rolling contact affects the microstructure in the surface layer of rail. Recently. continuum damage mechanics allows us to describe the microprocesses involved during the straining of materials and structures at the macroscale. Elastic and plastic strains. the corresponding hardening effects are generally accepted to be represented by global continuum variables. The purpose of continuum damage mechanics is to introduce the possibility of describing the coupling effects between damage processes and the stress-strain behavior of materials. In this study. the continuum damage mechanics caused by elastic deformation was briefly introduced and applied to the fatigue damage of the rails under the condition of cyclic loading. The material parameter for damage analysis was first determined so that it could reproduce the life span under the compressive loading in the vicinity of fatigue limit. Some numerical studies have been conducted to show the validity of the present computational mechanics analysis.
