To assess the wear behavior of rails against subway rail car wheels, we investigate the sliding wear behavior of pins derived from two types of rails (normal rails and heat-treated rails) against a disc derived from a subway rail car wheel, using a pin-on-disc-type tribometer. We base the sliding wear test conditions on the sliding conditions for wheel flange-rail gauge corner contact. We demonstrate the remarkable transition in the wear behavior of the pins derived from the rails, from severe wear to mild wear, as a function of the sliding distance. The wear rate of the heat-treated rail material in the running-in wear region is much lower than that of the normal rail material. Furthermore, the wear rates of the pins in the running-in wear region decrease with increasing hardness and with decreasing sliding speed. However, there is little difference between the heat-treated rail pin and the normal rail pin in the wear rate in the steady-state wear region. Stricter controls on the decarburized layer beneath the surface of rails are required to reduce the wear rate in the running-in wear region.

Rail provides running tract for train and broadly and widely conveys the weight of the train exerted from the train wheels that the rail directly supports onto the cross tie and roadbed, and supports the cross-sectional pressure exerted by centrifugal force at curvatures. That is, stationary rail provides surface on which dynamic train runs and guarantees cross-sectional resistance to enable the vertical snake motion of the train wheels as well as to maintain lateral force at curvatures. Rail provides running surface on which train wheels can run smoothly, and secures vertical and lateral force. However, it undergoes continuous destructive reactions (wearing and damages) and abrasion of the cladding by the train wheels. It is obvious that wearing will result when two metal parts act against each other. However, occurrence of abnormal wearing such as rapid wearing of the rail side due to complex generation of various mechanisms at the contact surface between the rail and train wheel flange. It is not easy to simply examine the causes of occurrence of abnormal wearing of rail and train wheel flange. Although countless number of academicians and specialists are conducting researches on abnormal wearing of rail and vertical wearing of train wheels, I believe it is too early to argue on pros and cons due to insufficiency of officially verified information on the issue. This review will be focusing on the examples of repairs that reduced the generation of abnormal wearing of rail by reviewing and improving characteristics of wearing and slack, speed of the train and cant as well as status of lubricator by choosing the compound curves present in the section between the $Anguk{\sim}Jongno3-ga$ Stations of the Route No. 3 among the compound curve tracks of the Seoul Metro Routes No. 3 & 4 at which abnormal wearing is generated continuously.

차륜과 레일의 접촉은 크리프를 유발한다. 크리프 증가에 따라 크리프력이 선형적으로 증가한다고 가정하는 선형 크리프 이론은 철도차량의 진동이 무한히 발산하는 주행속도인 임계속도를 결정한다. 그러나 실제 크리프력은 일정값에 수렴하며 철도차량의 횡진동은 무한히 증가되지도 않는다. 본 연구에서는 비선형 크리프 이론인 Vermeulen이론, Polach이론, 실제 차륜과 레일의 형상을 고려하여 계산된 줄이론 등을 6 자유도 대차모델에 적용하여 철도차량의 동특성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 철도차량의 진동은 특정 주행속도 이상에서 한계사이클을 만들었으며, 크리프 곡선의 기울기가 클수록 한계사이클이 발생하는 주행속도는 낮아졌다. 또한 한계사이클은 플랜지 접촉으로 인해 그 크기가 제한되는 헌팅현상이 발생됨을 알았다.

In order to increase the lifetimes of cold forging dies, insert rings are generally used. In this study, an insert ring and shrunk ring of the flange upsetting die were designed for the cold forging of an automotive wheel nut. The Stress distribution occurring in the die during forging was simulated using a commercial finite element analyzing program. The effects of the fitting interference and inclined angle of the insert ring on the compressive stress of the die inside were also investigated. The simulated data were compared with the real lifetimes of the forging dies. The maximum compressive stress acting on the edge of a forging die should have the most influence on die lifetime, an idea which could help develop the die design with the longest lifetime. The design of the most optimal forging die with the longest lifetime is made possible by analyzing the maximum inner pressure and principal stress between the shrunk ring and insert ring.

콘크리트 매립형 궤도를 운행하는 트램의 주행 안전성을 향상시키기 위해 핵심 구성품인 대차를 개발하고 제작하여 시험 차체와 조립한 후, 단거리 급곡선 급경사 궤도를 건설하고 시험운행을 실시하였다. 대차의 급곡선 주행 중 차륜 플랜지와 매립형 궤도의 간섭을 검토할 수 있는 산식을 제시하였고, 산식 결과에 따라 궤도를 설계하였다. 간략화된 계산식을 도출하여 곡선에서 탈선계수와 윤중감소율을 추정하였다. 단거리 급경사 급곡선 매립형 궤도에서 대차와 차체가 주행할 때에 차체의 가속도를 계측하였고, 영상 시스템을 통해 차륜과 궤도의 인터페이스 상태를 점검하였다. 계산 추정 결과에 따르면 차륜의 탈선계수와 윤중감소율은 안전기준 이하였는데, 실제 주행 시험 중에도 탈선은 발생하지 않았고, 가속도 계측 결과도 주행 안전기준을 만족하였다. 또한, 차륜과 궤도의 간섭은 발생하지 않았고, 영상 모니터링 결과도 차륜의 올라타기 등 탈선조짐은 발견되지 않았으며, 중앙의 피니언과 랙이 원활히 접촉하면서 양호한 주행안전성을 보여주고 있었다. 외부 소음 계측을 통해서 소음 기준을 만족하고 있음을 확인하였다.

자동차용 휠 베어링은 동력을 전달하고 차량의 무게를 지지해주는 중요한 부품으로써 너클에 체결된다. 이때 체결 토크에 의하여 시일 압입부와 궤도부를 포함하는 휠 베어링 외륜의 변형이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 휠 베어링 외륜의 변형을 유한요소법을 이용하여 해석하였다. 상용 소프트웨어 MSC.MARC 를 이용하였고, 외륜, 볼트, 너클의 체결거동을 보다 정확하게 예측하기 위하여 탄소성 해석과 접촉 해석을 수행하였다. 외륜 플랜지는 가공에 따라서 다소 오목하게 형성될 수 있으며, 이는 너클과의 체결 시 틈새 발생을 유발하여 변형에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 외륜의 오목한 정도를 변화시키면서 변형 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과를 검증 하기 위하여 시험을 수행하였고, 해석과 시험 결과를 비교한 결과 비교적 유사함을 알 수 있었다.

Vehicle model validation for the static vehicle testing has been done by comparison of the simulation results and test results and the parameters of the vehicle model to be used in the simulation have been adjusted to reflect the measured behaviour. The vehicle model fort the simulation should be validated by suitable tests and/or practical experience. The static vehicle test used to validate the vehicle model are the weight measurement, the wheel offloading test, the bogie rotational resistance test and the sway test. Finally, the computer simulation model has been validated and using the validated vehicle model the acceptance of the vehicle safety of the resistance to flange climbing derailment at low speed can be examined.

This paper studied on the lateral motion of the gantry crane which is used for the automated container terminal. Though several problems are occurred in driving of gantry crane, they are solved by the motion by the operator. But, if the gantry crane is unmanned, it is automatically controlled without any human operation. Especially, the collision between wheel-flange and rail is a very critical problem in driving of unmanned gantry crane. To bring a solution to these problems, the lateral and yaw dynamic equations of the driving mechanism of gantry crane are derived. And this study used PD(Proportional-Derivative) Controller to control the lateral displacement and the yaw angle. The simulation result of the driving mechanism using the Runge-Kutta method is presented in this paper.

The extent of slack is correlative with the wheelbase of vehicle as well as the distance between the inner faces of flanges. Since the movable clearance of wheel flange is getting reduced in curved track, the vehicle is more difficult to negotiate the track. By this reason, a certain extent of slack is normally designed for curved track to allow the movable clearance corresponding to that of straight track. In case of some foreign railways,. the fixed extent of slack has been classified by the ranges of curve radius. In case of KNR, the slack is calculated by a formula for each case of curve radius and it therefore seems quite precise method. However, since there is a wide range of slack adjustment $(S'=0\~15mm)$ in calculation formula itself, too excessive or too little slack can be calculated. This study is to approach the technical review on slack calculation and to offer the reasonable slack design through the full-scale experiment at sharp curved track without slack.

Wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) defects are most important causes of rail damage, and often interaction competitive at present railway track. Head check is one of rolling contact fatigue (RCF) defects, and generally occurs in mild circular curves and transition curves that are set at both ends of sharp circular curves. Wear tends to limit the crack growth of head checks by removing the material from the RCF surface. In order to clarify the conditions of the occurrence and growth of head checks, the authors measured the interacting forces between wheels and rails and the angle of attack of wheelset, and carried out contact analyses using the actual profile data of wheels and rails. The effects of the lateral force, the contact geometry, and the wear rate at rail gauge comer on the formation of head checks were also analyzed by using the worn profiles of actual wheels and rails and the data obtained by a track inspection car. Some specific range of wear rate at the gauge comer was identified as having close relation with occurrence of head checks.
