본 논문에서는 고속열차-차륜-레일-지반부의 상호작용에 따른 지반부의 변위장과 가속도장의 분포양상을 연구하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 고속열차 주행을 실제 차륜으로 모형하여 차륜-레일간의 연직접촉과 사행동에 의한 횡접촉을 모사하고, 이동질량해석을 근간으로 하였다. 이 때 지반부는 Modified Drucker-Prager 모델을 이용하여 상면 지반부의 비선형 거동을 부여하고 이에 따른 변위, 가속도의 변화를 탄성지반의 거동과 비탄성지반의 거동을 상호 비교하였다. 이를 통해, 실제 지반거동과 가까운 변위와 가속도 범위를 예측하고자 하였다. 이 때 지반부의 von-Mises응력과 등가소성변형도를 검토하고, 각 파괴면에서의 등가소성변형도, 전체 체적변형도 등을 검토하였다. 이동질량을 이용한 차륜-레일 접촉부의 수직응력, 횡압, 종방향 구속압 등의 시간이력에 따른 응력변화도 검토하였다. 비선형 지반모델의 경우 탄성 지반모델에 비해 열차 주행에 따른 변위 차이는 크지 않는 반면에 가속도의 경우는 큰 감소를 발생시키는 것으로 나타났다.

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.

도시철도 차륜에서 손상된 차륜은 주행 중의 승차감 악화 및 보수비용의 증가로 이어질 수 있기 때문에 차륜답면 특성 변화에 대한 평가는 대단히 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 비파괴적 표면검사법을 이용하여 차륜답면의 손상 평가를 실시하였으며 접촉위치, 주행거리, 제동방식에 따라 차륜답면의 특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 접촉위치에 따라 차륜답면이 현저히 다른 손상 특성을 나타남을 보여주고 있다.

Rails are subjected to damage from rolling contact fatigue, which leads to defects such as cracks. Rolling contact fatigue damages on the surface of rail such as head check, squats are one of growing problems. Another form of rail surface damage, known as "Ballast imprint" has become apparent. This form of damage is associated with ballast particles becoming trapped between the wheel and the surface of rail. These defects are still one of the key reasons for rail maintenance and replacement. In this study, we have investigated whether the ballast imprint is an initiator of head check type cracks and effect of defect size using Finite element analysis. The FE analysis were used to investigate stresses and strains in subsurface of defects according to variation of defect size. Based on loading cycles obtained from FE analysis, fatigue analysis for each point was carried out.

A numerical analysis was performed to verify how much additional force is induced by short or long pitch rail corrugations in track. The rail corrugations assumed as sine wave having various pitches and depths. The variation of wheel force, displacement and acceleration of rail and sleeper was investigated. In the results, it was shown that each item of the investigation was increased as the pitches and depths become large. It is expected that the results of the parametric study can be used as a preliminary data for the determination of economical maintenance criteria for rail corrugation in the future

Railway wheels and axles are the most critical parts of the railway rolling stock. The wheel carry axle loads and guide the vehicles on the track. Therefore, the contact surface of wheel are subjected to wear and fatigue process. The wheel damage can be divided into three types; wear, contact fatigue failure and thermal crack due to braking. Therefore, in the contact surface between the wheel and the rail, the materials are heat treated to have a specific hardness. The manufacturing quality of the wheel have a considerable influence on the formation of tread wear and damage. Also, the residual stress on wheel is formed during the manufacturing process is one of the main sources of the damage. In this paper, the mechanical characteristic and the residual stress according to wheel material have been evaluated by applying finite element analysis and conducting mechanical tests.

The noise to be considered as the most important in railway systems is the noise generated from the wheel/rail interaction. Such noise can be divided into three categories; that is, the rolling noise, the squeal noise and the wheel howling noise. Especially in metro systems, this type of noise has been considered seriously in recent years, and the diversified studies on the mechanism and solutions of such noise are in progress by many railways and researching bodies. In this study, a specially designed wheel absorber is installed in the wheel, and FEM analysis and laboratory tests are executed for the two cases, i.e. with wheel absorber and without wheel absorber, to check the effect of the wheel absorber in noise reduction. For the FEM analysis, the frequency response functions for respective cases are compared. And, for the laboratory test, following four cases are tested and compared; that is, i) with wheel only, ii) installation of ring damper only, iii) installation of damping material and cover, iv) installation of complete absorber system.

The safety of tilting train running on curved track is, in general, evaluated with a derailment coefficient calculated by the ratio of wheel load and lateral force, Particularly on curve, the wheel load and lateral force on rail may cause trackbed to be deformed, depending on their intensity, and moreover, often result in critical accident such as derailment. This study hence was intended to identify the cause of wheel load and lateral force so as to suggest the allowable wheel load reduction rate, lateral force limit and derailment coefficient, thereby quantitatively evaluating the operational safety of tilting train. This study therefore was aimed to analyze the wheel load and lateral force occurred during tilting train's operation on circular curve in such a way of comparing with traditional trains, by axle and speed, in a bid to eventually evaluate the operational safety of tilting train.

Damage often occurs on the surface of railway wheel by wheel-rail contact fatigue. It should be removed before reaching wheel failure, because wheel failure can cause derailment with loss of life and property. The increase or decrease of the contact fatigue life by the metal removal of the contact surface were shown by many researchers, but it has not explained precisely why fatigue life increases or decreases. In this study, the effect of metal removal depth on the contact fatigue life for railway wheel has been evaluated by applying finite element analysis. It has been revealed that the residual stress and the plastic flow are the main factors determining the fatigue life. Finally, the contact fatigue life according to metal removal has been estimated.

A derailment coefficient of railway vehicle is as one of important element that estimate running safety. Derailment coefficient is ratio of lateral load/vertical load happens in contact point between wheel and rail. Lateral load increases, dangerous of derailment can rise. There are ground and vehicle to measurement method of these derailment coefficient. Method of ground is simple, but when vehicles passes data of a point, there is shortcoming that acquire locally. Curved surface style wheel shape that use so far among vehicle method in this research wishes to be not but describe about static load test of wheel-set for derailment coefficient measurement that have plane plate shape that manufacture separate way and correction result etc. to test.
