The vibration of a running railway vehicle can be classified on lateral, longitudinal and vertical motions. The important factor on the stability and ride quality of a railway vehicle is the lateral motion. The contact between wheel and rail with conicity influences strongly on the lateral motion. In this study, an experiment for the vibration of a running railway vehicle was performed using a of the scale model of a railway vehicle. Also, the effects on the car-body, bogie and wheelset were examined for the weight and the stiffness of the second suspension system. The experimental results showed that the lateral vibration increases as the wheel conicity and stiffness of the second suspension system increase. And the lateral vibration of the bogie increases as the mass ratio between car-body and bogie increases. Also, the lateral vibration of the wheel becomes high at low speed, while the wheel of 1/20 conicity makes severe vibration at high speed running.

This work deals with dynamic analysis of a monorail system with magnetic caterpillar where magnets are embedded inside each articulated element of the caterpillar, augmenting traction force of main rubber wheels to climb up slope up to 15 degree grade. Considerations are first given to determine stiffness of the primary and secondary suspension springs in order for the natural frequencies of car body and bogie associated with vertical, pitch, roll and yaw motion to be within generally accepted range of 1-2 Hz. Equations for calculating magnetic force needed to climb up given slope are derived, and a magnetic caterpillar system for 1/6 scale monorail is designed based on the derivation. To assess the hill climbing ability and cornering stability, and make sure smooth operation of the side and vertical guiding wheels which is critical for safety, a multibody model that takes into account of every component level design characteristics of car, bogie, and caterpillar is set up. Through hill climbing simulation and comparison with measurement of the limit slope, the validity of the analysis and design of the magnetic caterpillar system are demonstrated. Also by studying the curving behavior, maximum curving speed without rollover, functioning of lateral motion constraint system, the effects of geometry of guiding rails are studied.

In this paper the dynamic characteristics of a Swing Motion Bogie, such as a critical speed and a carbody vibration, are investigated in reply to the request of the Meridian Rail Corporation in the United States. Also described are experimental results of the maximum speed, the derailment coefficient, the lateral force, the vertical force, the vibration acceleration and steady state lateral acceleration measured from main line tests.

The center pivot in the power car of KTX carries the traction force of the motor bogie to the carbody. The damage to the center pivot due to failure of swivel joint causes a serious hazard of the train. To prevent the hazard, information on the relative motion between bogie and carbody is necessary. In this paper, a method to measure the relative rotation of the center pivot is proposed and an actual test to verify the method and safety is conducted. The test results show that the rotation of the center pivot is within the allowable limit and the damage due to the relative motion doesn't take place.

A bogie is the device that connects a car body and wheel sets of a rail vehicle. It is the critical component that determine:; the running safety, The bogie consists of a frame, suspensions, brakes and wheel sets. Various analyses including a numerical simulation using a finite element method, a static load test, a fatigue test, ai)d r running test should be carried out to design the bogie. However cracks have been found at some end beams of the bogies mounted on the freight cars running with the high speed. The cracks of the end beam results in deterioration of the brake performance an the running safety, A new design has been suggested to solve this problem by ROTEM company and it's performance has been tested in this paper. Numerical simulations and dynamic tests are carried out to figure out the causes of cracks in the conventional bogie, and the vibrational characteristics of the improved bogie are compared with those of the conventional one.

It is said that the effect in wheels of freight car varies with the type of freight, the condition of operation, the braking device, and the type of bogie. The hardness of open wagon, gondola car, propylene car, covered freight car, container car and hopper car has been measured according to the mileage through this research. As a result, the wheel with more mileages after shaving off the wheel tread has a higher hardness than the others in the case of same type of car.

철도차량의 대차는 열차 주행을 위한 핵심적인 장치이다. 철도차량의 대차에서 피로결함은 운행 중 기대되지 않거나 과도한 하중, 용접결함, 재료 결함 등의 다양한 요인에 의해 발생할 수 있다. 철도차량의 사고를 방지하기 위해서 차체-대차연결부의 손상을 검출하고 발생 결함에 대한 정확한 평가가 요구된다. 이러한 철도차량의 차체-대차 연결부는 초음파 비파괴 검사를 통하여 건전성을 확보하고 있으나 결함 발생에 대한 학습기법을 이용한 판정방법이 필요하다. 최근 미세한 결함이나 유사한 결함을 높은 인식율로 검출하기 위하여 딥러닝 기법에 관한 여러 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 철도차량의 차체-대차 연결부의 결함 검출능력을 위하여 용접부의 인공결함 시편에 대하여 데이터베이스 구축하였으며. 웨지형 초음파 센서를 이용하여 차체-대차 연결부에 대한 비파괴 검사를 수행하였다. 부가적으로 인적오류를 최소화하기 위하여 결함판단 학습기법인 합성곱 신경망기법(Convolutional Neural Network)을 적용하였다. 그 결과 합성곱 신경망기법 기법을 이용하여 철도차량의 차체-대차 연결 용접부의 균열을 99.98%이상 균열성 결함으로 판별할 수 있었으며 철도차량 차체-대차 연결부의 비파괴검사시 본 연구의 기술이 적용 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The vibration signals of driving parts of electric train are distorted its signal patterns due to the impact components, which occurs when wheel passes rail joints. An elimination method of the impact components is investigated using adaptive signal processing technique in this study The result shows that adaptive interference canceling method seems to be more effective than line enhancement technique. The application of adaptive interference canceling method to the signal measured at bogie shows that the extractions of the signals of driving parts of traction motor, reduction gear, and axle bearing are successful. Therefore, only the signals of bogie, which is the place to attach an accelerometer easily, is sufficient for the fault diagnosis and the safety evaluation of electric train. Also, adaptive interference canceling method can be applicable to evaluate the performance of vibration isolation between bogie and car body and to investigate the characteristics of indoor sound.

고속열차의 공기저항 저감을 위해 KTX-산천의 구성요소별 공기저항을 상세하게 분석하였다. 전체 공기저항의 약 42.9%는 동력차(선두차, 후미차)에서 그리고 약 10.1%는 대차에서 유발되는 것으로 나타났다. 전두부의 공기저항 저감을 위해 Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno 기법을 이용한 전두부 최적설계를 수행하였다. 그리고 차체 공기저항 저감을 위해 동력차 형상 변화 및 대차커버를 적용하였다. 공기저항 저감을 위해 최적설계된 편성열차의 공기저항은 KTX-산천 대비 약 15.0% 저감되었으며, 주행저항은 속도 350km/h에서 약 12% 감소될 것으로 예상된다.
