The geometric parameters between wheel and rail change wheel/rail contact geometry characteristics, and this influence dynamic behavior of rolling stock. So, the selections of optimum geometric parameters between wheel and rail is important for planning of railway system. In this study, we have analyzed the influence of geometric parameters like wheel flange-back distance, gage, and rail inclination on the equivalent conicity relating to dynamic behavior. The analyses show the following results. The widening of wheel flange-back distanc, the decrement of gage increase the equivalent conicity and the increment of rail inclination show the sharp change of the equivalent conicity.

To analyze the effect of wear of wheel profile on the running stability of rolling-stock, theoretical and experimental studies were conducted on the profiles used in conventional lines. In experiment using 1/5 scale model to verify the results of the theoretical analysis, the test results of the critical speed for worn wheel profile samples show similar trend. In case of the conical type wheel profile(Profile 40), the equivalent conicity is increased with flange wear. But in case of the arc type wheel profile(Profile 20h), the equivalent conicity is decreased with flange wear. And the critical speed of the bogie was inverse proportion to the equivalent conicity. It is shown that the variation of the critical speed with the wheel wear could be changed according to the design concept and wear pattern of wheel profile. Results of the theoretical and experimental studies are discussed here.

KTX 인수시험 시 차량 후미부에서 횡진동이 발생하여, 차륜의 답면구배를 1/40에서 1/20로 변경하여 횡진동 문제를 해결하였다. 그러나 차륜의 답면구배를 변경하면 차량의 임계속도 및 주행 안전성에 영향을 미치기 때문에 1/20 차륜에 대한 주행 안전성에 대한 검토 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 VAMPIRE를 이용하여 KTX 1편성 20량을 모델화하여 주행 안전성 및 임계속도를 계산하였으며, 계산결과의 타당성을 검토하기 위해서 KHST차량의 시험결과와 비교하였다. 해석결과 차륜답면이 0.3인 경우 임계속도는 375km/h이상이었으며, 차륜의 답면구배가 1/20인 경우 1/40보다 곡선 추정성이 우수한 것을 알았다. 또한 기존선 주행 시 차량의 속도향상 가능성을 파악하기 위해서 계산한 결과 직선구간에는 10%속도 향상이 가능하지만, 곡선구간에는 기존차량의 속도와 동일하게 운행하는 것이 유리하다는 것을 알았다.

A design method of railway wheel profile with objective function of equivalent conicity considering wheel dimension constraint, two points contact problem between wheel and rail was proposed. New design method shows good results. New wheel profile generated from optimization process shows better dynamic performance compared with initial profile as the purpose of wheel profile design. And to verify the design method with testing the stability of new wheel profile, we conducted a critical speed test for new wheel profile using scale model applied scaling method of railway vehicle dynamics. The result of critical speed test show good agreement with that of numerical analysis. From the above results, it is seen that the design method with objective function of equivalent conicity is feasible and it could be applied to design new wheel profile efficiently.

The running safety of a railway vehicle depends on the design parameters and contact condition between wheel and rail. In this study, the effect of the conicity of wheel tread is analyzed using ADAMS/RAIL software on running situation. Modal analysis shows in 0.6 Hz natural frequency of lateral mode in fully arranged the KTX cars. The excessive vibration of the tail cars occurs in the 17th car as the speed and the stiffness of the secondary suspension increases, and especially for 1/40 conicity of the GV40 wheel. Also, the analysis shows that combination of wheel profile, GV40 for power cars and XP55 for passenger cars can reduce the lateral vibration of the tail cars.

The vibration of a running vehicle can be classified on lateral, longitudinal and vertical motions. The important factor on the stability and ride quality of a railway vehicle is the lateral motion. The contact between wheel and rail with conicity influences strongly on the lateral motion. In this study, an experiment for the vibration of a running railway vehicle was performed using a small scale railway vehicle model. Also, the effects on the car body, bogie and wheelset were examined for the weight and the stiffness of the first and second suspension. The experimental results showed that the lateral vibration increases as the wheel conicity and stiffness of the second suspension increase. And the lateral vibration of the bogie increases as the mass ratio between car body and bogie increases. Also, the lateral vibration of the wheel becomes high at low speed, while the wheel of 1/20 conicity makes severe vibration at high speed running.

In this study, it have been measured the vertical and lateral vibrations of car bodies which have an equivalent conicity of 1/20 and 1/40. Based on the measured data, it is revealed that the wheel, XP-50, which has the equivalent conicity of 1/20 causes the better riding comfort of KTX.
