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.

다양한 철도차량 동역학 해석 프로그램들은 장단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 프로그램들은 가선계를 표현할 수 있는 대변형체를 나타낼 수 없는 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 철도차량의 동역학 해석을 할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이 프로그램은 강체, 유연체, 대변형체에 대한 해석을 수행하고 상용프로그램과의 비교를 통하여 신뢰성을 확보하였다. 또한 가선계를 대변형체로 고려하였고, 강체와 대변형체를 연결하는 미끄럼 조인트를 추가하였다. 여기에 휠-레일 접촉모듈을 추가하여 철도차량의 동역학 해석이 가능한 프로그램을 개발하였다.

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.

본 논문은 휠-레일 사이의 접촉메카니즘을 이용하여 휠과 레일 사이의 분리를 허용하고, 횡 방향으로의 플랜지 접촉을 허용하는 비선형 동적 상호작용 해석법을 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 먼저 휠-레일 사이의 상호작용력을 압축스프링으로 이상화한 스프링 모델과 휠-레일 사이가 항상 접촉하고 있다는 가정하에 적용되는 non-jump모델에 대해 간략히 소개한 후 접촉메카니즘을 이용한 비선형 접촉모델에 대해 기술한다. 위 3가지 모델에 대한 수치해석 결과를 비교하기 위하여, 단순보 위를 지나가는 KTX열차에 대해 휠-레일 사이의 상호작용력을 각각 적용하여 동적 응답을 비교 분석하였다. 또한 특정 조건하에 플랜지 접촉을 강제 발생시켜 횡방향 응답의 변화를 살펴보았다.

Damage often occurs on the surface of railway wheels due to 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 lift by the metal removal of the contact surface were investigated by many researchers, but they have not considered initial residual stress and traction force. The railway wheel has the initial residual stress formed during the manufacturing process, and the residual stress is changed by thermal stress induced by braking. The traction force and residual stress are operated on wheels of locomotive and electric motor vehicle. In this study, the effect of metal removal depth on the contact fatigue life for a railway wheel has been evaluated by applying lolling contact fatigue test. The effect of the traction force and metal removal on the contact fatigue life has been estimated by finite element analysis. It has been found that the initial residual stress determines the amount of metal removal depth if the traction coefficient is less than 0.15. If the traction coefficient is greater than 0.2, however, the amount of metal removal depth is independent on the intial residual stress.

고속열차의 개발과 함께 구름접촉피로에 의한 레일의 피로균열 및 피로파괴에 대한 연구를 통해 주행안정성을 확보할 수 있는 방안 마련이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Eisenmann의 근사계산식(실용식)을 이용하여 속도, 차륜반경, 궤도지지강성, 침목간격, 축중, 궤도품질에 따른 레일내부 발생응력을 검토하였다. 또한, 유한요소해석을 통해 초기균열의 길이 및 각도, 온도에 따라 레일두부에서 발생하는 전단응력을 검토하여 모드별 응력확대계수를 도출하였다. 이로써 고속철도 레일의 피로수명에 영향을 미치는 주요인자들을 확인하였다.

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.

The study aims on the effect of material dependency in elastic- plastic contact models by contact analysis of sphere and flat contact model and wheel rail contact model by considering the material properties without friction. The various materials are selected for the analysis based on Young's modulus and yield strength ratio (E/Y). The simulation software 'ANSYS' is employed for this study. The sphere and flat contact model is considered as a flattening model, the stress and strain for different materials are estimated. The simulation of wheel-rail contact model is also performed and the results are compared with the flattening model. The comparative study has also been extended for finding out the mean contact pressure for different materials the E/Y values between 150 and 660. The results show that the elastic-plastic contact analysis for materials up to E/Y=296.6 is depend on the nature of material properties and also for this material the mean contact pressure to yield strength reaches 2.65.

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.

Because most fatigue cracks in wheel and rail take place by rolling contact of wheel and rail in railroad industry, it is critical to understand the rolling contact phenomena, especially for the three-dimensional situation. This paper presents an approach to steady-state rolling contact problem of three-dimensional contact bodies, with or without tangential force, based on the finite element method. The steady-state conditions are controlled by the applied relative slip and tangential force. The three-dimensional distribution of tangential traction and contact stresses on the contact surface are investigated. Results show that the distribution of tangential traction and contact stresses on the contact surface varies rapidly as a result of the variation of stick-slip region. The tangential traction is very close in form to Carter's distribution.
