Aluminum rolling stocks have been developed for six years in Korea and commercial trainsets are being constructed by the carbuilder. Aluminum alloys are sensitive to various imperfections. In this paper, damages and failures of the aluminum carbody taking place during the process of development are investigated and accumulated data are released. Also, remedies for the failures are suggested and design changes are introduced. It is expected that all informations can contribute to construction of reliable and safe aluminum rolling stocks.

The characteristic of “Korea LRT Carbody” is designed by using AED(All Extrusion Design) method. This is developed in Europe and be introduced in this paper minutely. The window type of “Korea LTR” has no supported frame, so the passengers ensure the outside view widely. The passenger's door will designed by plug type - This is the first time in Korea. In this report we have an object to the strength analysis for the carbody design. For the purpose of safety and lightening, we are going to research the section of thickness through optimization design.

Current freight electric locomotives (132 ton) of the eco-friendly and can carry large cargo logistics as a means of generation has increased the demand at home and abroad. Especially, Freight electric locomotives to increase the traction, it is easy to mass and rapid transport. In addition, Freight electric locomotives is no exhaust and low noise compared to diesel -electric locomotives and it can be eco-friendly transportation. CO_CO BOGIE of Freight electric locomotives has no the center pivot and Traction_Rod and Spring of CO_CO BOGIE is mounted on the body. These freight electric locomotives to be satisfied with the safety regulations. Carbody development satisfied Implementation of optimum body and collision is the focus. Accordingly, the different approach in the upper and lower carbody structure and interior and equipment placement is needed. On this paper, the contents give explanation of cases on carbody design composed of freight electric locomotives now developed and process of improvement by structure analysis and collision analysis.

As a secondary suspension, the air spring has not good lateral stiffness characteristics. In order to make up for this weak point, lateral damper is used between bogie and carbody. The lateral vibration of carbody can be reduced by the lateral damper. When the damping force of lateral damper becomes worse, the running stability and ride comfort of the railway vehicle go down. Simultaneously the lateral motion of carbody is increased. In this study, the lateral displacement of carbody was studied by the multibody dynamic analysis in accordance with lateral damping force to find the cause of abnormal noise(impact noise) when the vehicle is running. The suitable lateral damping force was reviewed in order not to generate abnormal noise.

In this paper, static and fatigue load tests for the specimens, components and carbody were carried out to investigate the strength of welded joints in aluminum rolling stock. Tensile test results showed that the static strength of welded joint for the heat-treated alloy is reduced significantly and fatigue strength data are scattered by the welding imperfections. Component and whole carbody fatigue test results showed agreements with the design fatigue strength standards for specimens of the same joint detail. Test results revealed that full penetration welding and strict management of welding procedure are crucial for securing the strength of welded joint in aluminum carbody.

In this study, overturning safety for a tilting train has been evaluated. In the tilting train, the overturning safety is one of the most important factors because the carbody inclines inward a curve during curve negotiation. Dynamic analysis considering unbalanced lateral acceleration and carbody tilting has been carried out and the overturning safety for the tilting train has been evaluated according to height of CG of carbody. From these studies, the overturning safety for the tilting train under unbalanced lateral acceleration of $2m/s^2$ was superior to the conventional one at the same running speed.

This paper describes the result of carbody and vibration test for freight car. The purpose of the test is to evaluate an safety which carbody structure shall be considered fully sufficient rigidity so as to load a freight car under maximum load and operating condition on line track. The test carbody is constructed by RS korea co., LTD. in accordance with KNR specfication. The test cases of the carbody is tested the vertical load and compressive load to verify the strength and stillness. The vibration test is tested for analysis and evaluation of vibration, to allow for the fact that mechanical vibration in railway vehicles have specific characteristics.

Weight minimization of double-deck train carbody is imperative to reduce cost and extend life-time of train. It is required to decide 36 thickness of aluminum extruded panels. However, the design variables are two many to tract. moreover, one execution of structural analysis of double-deck carbody is time-consuming. Therefore, we adopt approximation technique to save computational cost of optimization process. Response surface model is used to apporximate static response of double-deck carbody. To obtain plausible response surface model, orthogonal array is empolyed as design of experiment(DOE). Design improvement by approximate model-based optimization is described. Accuracy and efficiency of optimization by using response surface model are discussed.

This study introduces the testing results of the carbody. The load test was performed to evaluate the structural characteristic and stability of the stainless carbody. The carbody is made of stainless steel. The body structure consisted of side frame, under frame, roof frame, and end frame. Of these components, the side frame and under frame were the most important components considering the vehicle and passenger loads. Loading test were performed under the condition based on "Performance Test Standard for Electrical Multiple Unit". The test results showed that the body structure is safe and stable under the condition of designed load.

Currently in design and manufacturing of railway train overseas markets, criteria for a collision condition between vehicles is noted in design specification. In the event of a train crash, it can be verified by crashworthiness analysis or an actual crash test for car's performance to keep the safety of passengers and to minimize the effect of damaged for vehicles. In this paper, it is described for carbody structure to meet the allowable condition in collision analysis through improvement of shape, position and arrangement for carbody frame. This report describes the shape of end frame for carbody structure and the results of analysis applied to actual cases for overseas.
