본 연구에서는 도시철도 콘크리트 궤도(STEDEF)구조에 발생된 레일파상마모의 발생원인과 이에 따른 궤도부 담력의 수준을 분석하고자 실 운행열차를 대상으로 현장측정을 수행하여 동적 윤중, 레일저부휨응력 및 침목변위를 측정하였다. 동적 윤중 측정데이터를 이용한 주파수 분석을 통해 측정구간에 발생된 파상마모의 발생원인을 실험적으로 입증하였으며, 파상마모가 동적 윤중, 레일휨응력 및 침목변위 증가에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 레일 표면에 발생된 주기적인 요철형상의 파상마모는 동적 윤중을 증폭시키고 이에 따라 레일 휨응력 및 침목변위를 최대 1.7배 이사 크게 증가시킬 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

The railroad is a means of large transportation which has many talents such as a safety and a regularity. That is a results from various confidential performance tests and evalutions of the system. The railroad system consist of various subsystems - vehicle, power spply, signal communications, track structures, operations, etc. Among them as an item of safety evaluation there is a measurement of wheel/rail force, so called a measurement of derailment coefficient. This is a very important item because a derailment of a train will bring about a big accident. Especially it is more important in high speed rail of which operation speed is over two times as fast as existing rail. In this paper, it is introduced to preprocess the wheelset for measuring wheel/rail force of Gwangiu EMU, such as to treat a measuring wheelset its finite element analysis, adhesion of strain gauges and static load test.

This paper presents experimental analysis of a friction-driven wheel that is responsible for wheel squeal. Squeal noise generating mechanism and environment of train u heels has been tried to reproduce under laboratory condition. Scale down size rail and wheel are made and influential parameters to squeal noise are measured, e. g. frictional force, pressure between rail and wheel, creep speed of rail. Negative damping characteristic curve are calculated currently. Necessary relating computational analysis is also carried on.

After the introduction of revenue service, abnormal wear has been reported on DMRC EMU wheels that have been manufactured and delivered by Rotem. As a part of an investigation of cause, Rotem has carried out the study of propriety between wheel and rail profile. The wheel profile of DMRC EMU is SK-91146. The material and profile of the wheel was presented by DMRC. The Profile of the rail is UIC 60-1:20. This study tested the propriety of three wheel profiles to include, SK-91146, EN 13715-P8 and UIC s1002 between the rail profile UIC 60-1:20.

A geometric contact conditions of wheel/rail affect the dynamic behavior of rolling stock. Mechanical force acted on the wheel/rail causes excessive wear and increase the maintenance cost. In this study, we have studied the dynamic behavior of the urban railway vehicle with new and worn wheel by VAMPIRE program. And we have tested the accelerations of wheelset on the conventional line. The results of simulation are compared with the measuring data of field test. It shows that the acceleration of worn wheel is greater than the acceleration of new wheel in the straight track line but on the contrary, the acceleration of new wheel is greater than the acceleration of worn wheel in curved track. That results explain that the new wheel is worn out greater than the worn wheel in curved track line and need to be maintained more seriously when running in curved track line.

The problem of wheel tread defects has become a major challenge for the health management of high-speed rail as a wheel defect with small radius deviation may suffice to give rise to severe damage on both the train bogie components and the track structure when a train runs at high speeds. It is thus highly desirable to detect the defects soon after their occurrences and then conduct wheel turning for the defective wheelsets. Online wheel condition monitoring using wheel impact load detector (WILD) can be an effective solution, since it can assess the wheel condition and detect potential defects during train passage. This study aims to develop an FBG-based track-side wheel condition monitoring method for the detection of wheel tread defects. The track-side sensing system uses two FBG strain gauge arrays mounted on the rail foot, measuring the dynamic strains of the paired rails excited by passing wheelsets. Each FBG array has a length of about 3 m, slightly longer than the wheel circumference to ensure a full coverage for the detection of any potential defect on the tread. A defect detection algorithm is developed for using the online-monitored rail responses to identify the potential wheel tread defects. This algorithm consists of three steps: 1) strain data pre-processing by using a data smoothing technique to remove the trends; 2) diagnosis of novel responses by outlier analysis for the normalized data; and 3) local defect identification by a refined analysis on the novel responses extracted in Step 2. To verify the proposed method, a field test was conducted using a test train incorporating defective wheels. The train ran at different speeds on an instrumented track with the purpose of wheel condition monitoring. By using the proposed method to process the monitoring data, all the defects were identified and the results agreed well with those from the static inspection of the wheelsets in the depot. A comparison is also drawn for the detection accuracy under different running speeds of the test train, and the results show that the proposed method can achieve a satisfactory accuracy in wheel defect detection when the train runs at a speed higher than 30 kph. Some minor defects with a depth of 0.05 mm~0.06 mm are also successfully detected.

Even though a constant repeated load is applied, plastic deformation may cumulate. This kind of behavior is called ratcheting. Ratcheting may lead to cracks and finally to failure of the rail. Usually ratcheting occurs on high rails in curves. Ratcheting is influenced by residual stresses, wheel-rail contact stresses, thermal stresses due to wheel/rail rolling contact, shear strength of the rail, strain hardening behavior, etc. In this study, contact stresses and thermal stresses are examined. It is found their value is considerable compared to the maximum contact pressure.

Rail breaks and derailments can cause a huge loss to rail players due to loss of service, revenue, property or even life. Maintenance has huge impact on reliability and safety of railroads. It is important to identify factors behind rail degradation and their risks associated with rail breaks and derailments. Development of mathematical models is essential for prediction and prevention of risks due to rail and wheel set damages, rail breaks and derailments. This paper addresses identification of hazard modes, estimation of probability of those hazards under operating, curve and environmental condition, probability of detection of potential hazards before happening and severity of those hazards for informed strategic decisions. Emphasis is put on optimal maintenance and operational decisions. Real life data is used for illustration.

A wheel force becomes large as increasing the stiffness of rail-pad, and it accelerates the deterioration of track, and it leads the maintenance cost rising. So, it is required to determine an appropriate replacement period for rail-pad. As a preliminary study to determine it, a numerical analysis was conducted to investigate the influence on a track behavior by the hardening of rail-pad. From the analysis, one knows that the dynamic wheel force is vary depend on the stiffness of rail-pad and the running speed of vehicle, the displacement and acceleration of rail is decreasing as increasing stiffness of rail-pad, and the displacement and acceleration increased in proportion to the rail-pad stiffness increasing.

A wheel and axle failure can cause a derailment with its attendant loss of life and property. The service conditions of railway vehicles have become severe in recent years due to a general increase in operating speeds. Damages of railway wheel are a spalling by wheel/rail contact and thermal crack by braking heat etc. One of the main source of damage is a residual stress. therefore it is important to evaluate exactly. A Residual stress of wheel is formed at the process of heat treatment when manufacturing. it is changed by contact stress developed by wheel/rail contact. Distributions of residual stress vary according to a magnitude of wheel load, a magnitude of friction when acceleration and deceleration. The objective of this paper is to estimate the influence of wheel motion on the residual stress distribution in the vicinity of the running surface.
