The main objective of this paper is to study vibration of sandwich open cylindrical panel with damaged core and FG face sheets based on three-dimensional theory of elasticity. The structures are made of a damaged isotropic core and two external face sheets. These skins are strengthened at the nanoscale level by randomly oriented Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and are reinforced at the microscale stage by oriented straight fibers. These reinforcing phases are included in a polymer matrix and a three-phase approach based on the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka scheme and on the Halpin-Tsai approach, which is developed to compute the overall mechanical properties of the composite material. Three complicated equations of motion for the panel under consideration are semi-analytically solved by using 2-D differential quadrature method. Several parametric analyses are carried out to investigate the mechanical behavior of these multi-layered structures depending on the damage features, through-the-thickness distribution and boundary conditions. It is seen that for the large amount of power-law index "P", increasing this parameter does not have significant effect on the non-dimensional natural frequency parameters of the FG sandwich curved panel. Results indicate that by increasing the value of isotropic damage parameter "D" up to the unity (fully damaged core) the frequency would tend to become zero. One can dictate the fiber variation profile through the radial direction of the sandwich panel via the amount of "P", "b" and "c" parameters. It should be noticed that with increase of volume fraction of fibers, the frequency parameter of the panels does not increase necessarily, so by considering suitable amounts of power-law index "P" and the parameters "b" and "c", one can get dynamic characteristics similar or better than the isotropic limit case for laminated FG curved panels.

Kyung-p-1 main line is characterized by its curves radii of which are considerably small. It is essential for running time reduction of train to improve capabilities of curve negotiation. This improvement can be achieved by designing a bogie with flexible suspension system. The effect of the improvement is mainly concerned in the primary yaw stiffness of bogie suspension. This paper gives a linear analysis for the motion of railway vehicle on curved track and gives also computer simulation results for Semaul Train. The results introduce a conclusion that the primary yaw stiffness of Semaul train is too rigid to be self-steering on Kyung-pu main line curves.

본 논문은 열차 곡선부 노선에서 발생하는 진동크기의 예측을 위한 것으로, 곡선부를 주행하는 틸팅차량에 의해 발생하는 진동크기를 수치해석적으로 예측한 결과이다. 곡선부를 주행하는 틸팅차량에 의한 진동의 특징으로, 진동의 방향성분을 들 수 있다. 진동의 방향성분은 직선 구간에서는 수직성분이 월등히 우세하나, 곡선구간에서는 수평성분이 크게 증가한다. 틸팅차량의 경우, 일반열차에 비해 곡선구간에서의 높은 속도로 인해 수평성분이 크게 발생한다. 따라서 틸팅차량의 주행에 의한 인근 지역에서의 진동환경을 파악하기 위해서는 수직성분 뿐 아니라 수평성분의 정확한 파악도 필요하다. 이러한 진동의 방향성분은 근거리 또는 원거리 영역에 따라 달라져, 이의 파악을 위한 연구가 필요하다.

Increasing usage of tank cars and their intrinsic instability due to sloshing of contents have caused growing maintenance costs as well as more frequent hazards and defects like derailment and fatigue of bogies and axels. Therefore, varieties of passive solutions have been represented to improve dynamical parameters. In this task, assuming 22 degrees of freedom, dynamic analysis of partially filled tank car traveling on a curved track is investigated. In order to consider stochastic geometry of track; irregularities have been derived randomly by Mont Carlo method. More over the fluid tank model with 1 degree of freedom is also presented by equivalent mechanical approach in terms of pendulum. An active suspension system for described car is designed by using linear quadratic optimal control theory to decrease destructive effects of fluid sloshing. Eventually, the performance of the active suspension system has been compared with that of the passive one and a study is carried out on how active suspension may affect the dynamical parameters such as displacements and Nadal's derailment index.

This paper describes an analytical method for wheel wear prediction. The outputs from vehicle dynamic software are used to calculation the wheel wear. Two calculation examples are shown for a high-speed line and a conventional line. Through the comparison of two cases, we can see the wheel wear characteristics on the conventional line and the high-speed line. The conventional line has many curved tracks that cause severe wheel flange wear. The influences of curve radius on wheel wear are also described considering the operational performance of the high speed trainset. A method of calculation using contact patch work model is presented for determination of the evolution by wear railway wheels.

A structure gauge assessment is needed to ensure that a railway vehicle can run safely along a length of track without coming unacceptably close to lineside structures or equipment, or to vehicles running on adjacent tracks. This apparently straightforward question is in reality very complicated. The amount of space required for the safe passage of a railway vehicle is significantly greater than its static body profile for a number of reasons as follows: as the vehicle runs along the track, the track input excites the vehicle and it moves on its suspension. On curved track its geometric position leads to curve overthrows. A number of different approaches have been used to answer this question and some are described and specially applied to urban train by computer simulation in this paper. The program used for calculating the kinematic and swept envelope is the VAMPIRE made in U.K.

The sophisticated technologies, ensuring both stability and curving performance, are required for the medium high speed train running on conventional railway line where tangent and curved section mixed together. We can hardly meet the both requirements conflicting each other with the conventional type of bogie. Effective solution is to apply stabilizing mechanism for the bogie design, which increase hunting stability or dynamically critical speed while maintaining curving performance. In this research the numerical analysis by means of multi-body dynamic simulation S/W, experiments by using roller test rig and main line running test have been comprehensively performed for the 200km/h Korean Tilting Train with newly developed stabilizer. The paper proposes the effectiveness of stabilizer and its usefulness based on the results of analyses.

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.

A new scheme about a coupled bogie with Independently Rotating Wheels was put forward firstly. And then it is fund by theoretic analysis that the bogie takes on prominent radial capability on curved track and splendiferous restoring capability on tangent track. Lastly, a dynamic calculating model of the coupled bogie with independently rotating wheels has been established and a dynamic simulation analysis on steering capability of the bogie was made and the simulation results can inosculate foregoing theoretic analysis, which illuminates that the coupled bogie can solve drastically the difficulty about steering problem of independently rotating wheel.

The surroundings around subway are becoming more lively for project of CBD (an redevelopment project), however vibrations which are made through passing train cold spread buildings around. The structure-borne noise could be generated at the same time that makes people including developers and th citizens have negative viewpoint on railway. Especially, Seoul Metro 1-4 lines ar built alongside the road nearby houses and business district. That could make plenty of public resentments because of the structure-borne noise. Seoul Metro should make active alternative plans for their future urban environment projects which will be conducted. The case was Railway Facility which were conducted to minimize structure-borne noise from sharp curved track section (4 line, Sinyongsan~Ichon, R 250m). The section is adjacent to house district as near as 6.6m related with pusing international city project, the 4th urban environment project around international building, near Yongsan station. The interval of sleepers would be downsized in half with breaking existing case, and pad stiffness is reduced 4 ton from 10 ton. That makes structure-borne noise minimized because of vibrations are lowered about 19.1-23.0db. The structure above has remained for a year and a half from October, 2008, and had not any trouble to perform excellence with 80million ton rail accumulated tonnage.
