In order to obtain basic data for the prediction of railway noise propagation, the noise radiation characteristics (source position, radiation directivity, etc) of trains were measured by using the sound intensity method. The measurements were performed at a side of railway by setting an intensity-probe array. As the measurement results, it was found that rolling noise due to interaction between wheel and rail and motor noise radiation from the lower part of train are dominant. The location of main sound sources can be described as being at the height of 0.1m in the center line of track, and the radiation directivity in the cross section of actually running trains are presented as a dipole source.

This study have been performed to investigate the dynamic behavior of the Korean High Speed Train(KHST) during the conceptual design process. This study gets a focus on the analysis of the rigid model, for which the yaw damper layout is modified in a nonlinear limit cycle analysis. In this study, influences of the system parameters such as stiffness of suspension and connection elements as well as damping coefficients were studied and an optimized parameter set is achieved. Throughout the dynamic calculation of KHST on the straight and the curved track, vibration accelerations in car body, ride comforts and wheel rail forces are investigated. Finally the vibration characteristics from rigid car body are compared with those due to the influence of elastic car body.

To make the autonomous mobile robot move in the unknown space, we have to know the information of current location of the robot. So far, the location information that was obtained using Encoder always includes Dead Reckoning Error, which is accumulated continuously and gets bigger as the distance of movement increases. In this paper, we analyse the effect of the size of the two wheels of the mobile robot and the wheel track of them among the factors of Dead Reckoning Error. And after this, we compensate this Dead Reckoning Error by Kalman filter using Gyro Sensors. To accomplish this, we develop the controller to analyse the error components of Gyro Sensor and to minimize the error values. We employ the numerical approach to analyse the error components by linearizing them because each error component is nonlinear. And we compare the improved result through simulation.

This paper presents the influence of the airgap tolerance on performance of a linear induction motor. Construction tolerance of the plate affects directly to the cost and performance of the Linear metro. LIM has around 10[mm] large airgap with many restrictions such as construction tolerance, thermal expansion and bend of the reaction plate, abrasion of the wheel, and so on. In order to have steady performance, the airgap should be uniform. But it is impossible to maintain the secondary reaction plate be flat along with the long track. Therefore the influence of the flatness on performance of a LIM should be investigated.

Smart materials can adapt to changes of environment like living organs in nature such that they can maximize the performance and minimize the maintenance expense of engineering systems. Such materials have been paid attention ten years ago and applied in the area of industry, aerospace, transportation and civil structures. This paper summarizes smart material technology and shows some application examples in railway vehicles. Also, its future of smart material technology in railway vehicle technology is envisaged based on its possibility and practical aspect.

In this paper, running performance analyses of an articulated light rail vehicle are carried out using VAMPIRE software package. The stability analysis to determine the critical speed and the safety analysis such as derailment coefficients, lateral forces of wheels and reduction of wheel load are carried for the track conditions of straight, transition and curving range to the operating velocity of 40km/h. Also, ride quality is analyzed. As the results of analysis, the safety of light rail vehicle satisfied with the limit values and the ride quality for tare and full load condition was shown to the "not uncomfortable" level in ISO 2631-1 (1997) criteria.

Recently, axle load, operating speed and traffic density on railroads have had a tendency to increase and thereby cause additional pressure applied on used track. These operating conditions frequently result in service failure due to wear caused by wheel-rail contact and fatigue damage under cyclic loading. Among rail defects, the transverse crack, which has been the most dangerous type of fatigue damages, is developed from the subsurface crack near the rail running face and grows perpendicular to the rail surface. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate systematically the growth behavior of transverse crack for rail steel under mixed mode. In this study, the fatigue crack growth behavior of the transverse crack in rail steel was experimentally investigated under mixed-mode variable amplitude loadings.

오늘날 자동차는 자동차 자체에 대한 기능적 측면뿐만 아니라 운전자 및 탑승자에게 적절한 거주 공간을 제공하여야 한다는 인간공학적 측면을 동시에 만족시켜야 한다. 특히 부적절한 거주 공간에서 비롯된 좋지 않은 운전 자세는 운전시 신체 각 부위에 과다한 피로를 유발시키고 운전 성능에도 영향 을 미칠 수 있기 때문에 안전 측면에서도 매우 중요하다. 거주 공간의 설계시 출발점이 되는 것은 SgRP(Seating Reference Point)이며 이의 설정은 운전 자세에 직접적인 영향을 미치므로 운전자의 불편도 (Discomfort)를 최소로 하며 운전성능을 높일 수 있도록 설정되어야한다. 본 연구에서는 Driving Simulator 를 이용하여 운전자가 취할 수 있는 Seat의 전후, 상하 위치에 따른 여러 운전 자세에서 운전자가 느끼는 불편도 및 각종 Control의 조작성등의 주관적인 Measure와 운전시의 운전성능을 나타내는 객관적 Measure를 측정, 평가하였다. Seat의 위치는 Whole Body Discomfort, Steering Wheel, Gear, Pedal의 조작성 등의 주관적 종속 변수에는 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 객관적 종속변수에는 유의한 영향이 나타 나지 않았다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 Regression식을 도출하였으며 이를 바탕으로 Isocomfort Surface를 제시 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 한국인에 적합한 SgRP 및 Seat Track 설정의 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대 된다.

An autonomous stair robot recognizing the stair, and climbing up and down the stair by utilizing a robot vision, photo sensors, and appropriate climbing algorithm is introduced. Four arms associated with four wheels make the robot climb up and down more safely and faster than a simple track typed robot. The robot can adjust wheel base according to the stair width, hence it can adopt to a variable width stair with different algorithms in climbing up and down. The command and image data acquired from the robot are transferred to the main computer through RF wireless modules, and the data are delivered to a remote computer via a network communication through a proper data compression, thus, the real time image monitoring is implemented effectively.

The dynamic behavior of high speed train is very important because it should be safe and is satisfied with the ride comfort of passengers. The railway is composed of many suspension components-1st springs, 1st dampers, 2nd springs, 2nd dampers etc- that have an influence on the dynamic characteristics of high speed train. Also, the wheel/rail shapes, the track condition and geometry and many environmental factors-rain, snow, wind etc-are affected the dynamic behavior of high speed train. This paper is reviewed the effect of wind(gust) on the dynamic behavior of high speed train. Vampire program is used for this simulation. The result of simulation shows that high speed train should not be operated when the gust speed is beyond 34.5m/sec.
