The speed up of conventional lines feel strongly the necessity of it, for fully realizing a role of transportation system, for human life style is high, and increasing of time value. Especially curved lines zone have crucial effects on the speed of train. In this study, the extension method of transition curve is evaluated, based on the alignment of Jang-Hang line, investigated field conditions of the sections where the curves exist. The result of this research is very applicable to the condition where it is difficult to over-all alignment improvements.

Dynamic stability of a high speed train is very important. This paper presents a dynamic stability analysis of K-TGV using Vampire Program. The analysis of stability on this paper is performed in condition of track irregularity, curved track and strong gust. The critical speed of K-TGV is 140m1s, and it is stable when runs on 7000R(cant 150mm) curved track and on linear track with the body exerted 101kN lateral impulse force.

In this paper, we studied the steering performance of wheelset with primary suspension characteristics of railway vehicle. We carry out dynamic analysis and experimental study for the vehicle models which are different primary suspension characteristics. The steering angle of a vehicle model (Case 1) operating in domestic subway lines is insufficient compared with an objective steering angle for curved track. And the steering angle of a vehicle model (Case 2) with improved self-steering performance of wheelset is a little improved compare to previous vehicle model. But also Case 2 model is still insufficient compared with an objective steering angle and has its limit in steering performance. So to overcome this limit of steering performance of passive type railway vehicle, an active steering technology is being developed. In case of vehicle model with active steering system, the steering performance is improved remarkably compared to passive type vehicle model.

There are two types of railway alignment design. First type is a modification of existing railway and second type is a planning of whole new alignment. Modification of existing railway would be more simpler, usually, main scope is improving a capacity with adopting standard track gauge, straighten intensively curved part. But planning new alignment should be considered various factors, not only topographic feature, but cultural, socio-economical, environmental factors. This paper is based on the performed project in the United Arab Emirates, the Arabian Peninsular, with Korea railroad corporation, Korea Rail Network Authority, and other skilled Korean design firms participated on May, 2006.

This Paper describes a characteristics of wheel wear of high speed train running on the conventional line. Conventional line has many curved tracks that cause severe wheel flange wear. The influences of lubrication, cant deficiency, owe radius on wheel wear are also described considering the operation performance of the highspeed trainset. A method of calculation using contact patch work model is presented far determination of the evolution by wear of railway wheels.

In this study, the deformations and stresses occurred in the elastic rail fastening system were evaluated according to applied extreme track forces based on various field conditions, track curvature and poor properties. The purpose of this study is to establish a method for efficient management and suggest guide line for track construction in order to secure the performance quality of the elastic rail fastening system on the sharp curved track.. Therefore, initial construction qualities of rail and concrete bed, initial clamping force and applied extreme track forces were used into experiment as several parameters. Using these test results, the performance characteristics of the elastic rail fastening system were also evaluated. As a result, it suggested the method to secure long-term durability of fastening system and comparing sharp curved track to results on field test.

Derivation procedures of exact dynamic stiffness matrices of thin-walled curved beams subjected to axial forces are rigorously presented for the spatial free vibration analysis. An exact dynamic stiffness matrix is established from governing equations for a uniform curved beam element with nonsymmetric thin-walled cross section. Firstly this numerical technique is accomplished via a generalized linear eigenvalue problem by introducing 14 displacement parameters and a system of linear algebraic equations with complex matrices. Thus, displacement functions of dispalcement parameters are exactly derived and finally exact stiffness matrices are determined using element force-displacement relationships. The natural frequencies of the nonsymmetric thin-walled curved beam are evaluated and compared with analytical solutions or results by ABAQUS's shell elements in order to demonstrate the validity of this study.

In this paper, we present a thin circular beam finite element for the out-of-plane vibration analysis of curved beams. The element stiffness matrix and the element mass matrix are derived respectively from the strain energy and the kinetic energy by using the natural shape functions which are obtained from an integration of the differential equations of the finite element in static equilibrium. The matrices are formulated with respect to the local polar coordinate system or to the global Cartesian coordinate system in consideration of the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertias. Some example problems are analysed. The FEM results are compared with the theoretical ones to show that the presented finite element can describe quite efficiently and accurately the out-of-plane motion of thin curved beams.
