Track rubber parts has heat built-up as long as dynamic loading is applied from running tracked vehicles. Durability is required for rubber part to sustain the heat accumulation and heat exchange between rubber-metal assembly and environmental air and ground. For this research, the track assembly was divided into four parts i.e., bottom track shoe, upper track pad, pin busing and metal structure. Three rubber parts and metal structure were modelled and analyzed with MARC package program to obtain time-temperature data which was induced form mechanical work of tracked vehicles. heat accumulation data was obtained from special experiments under the room temperature of 25$^{\circ}C\;and\;35^{\circ}C$ to simulate the actual environmental conditions. From this research, it is cleared that the environmental temperature does not affect to the heat accumulation speed in rubber parts. Also, the heat built-up mechanism was clarified from the thermo-mechanical work based on numerical analysis and experiments.

This study analyzes considerations for satellite orbit elements for the national micro-satellite system to effectively perform its mission in accordance with the operational concept, and compares the conventionally used Walker method to improve the performance of the satellite constellation method of the repeating ground track orbit. In satellite orbit element analysis, altitude candidate values of micro-satellite system, use of eccentricity and argument of perigee through frozen orbit, necessity of selection of appropriate orbit inclination, and satellite phasing rules for flying the same repeating ground track orbit are proposed. Based on these analysis results, the superiority of the constellation method of the repeating ground track orbit compared to the Walker method is verified in terms of revisit performance analysis, global coverage characteristics, and orbit consistency.

Recently, environmental vibration by train operation has been getting such an attention that the ISO puts it into the environmental vibration regulation. However, the reasonable and efficient countermeasures against such a kind of vibration is not well established, especially in residential areas near the railroad. Therefore, it is very important to estimate the ground vibration induced by the train operation for the design and construction of track supporting structures as well as structures near the track. In this study a model estimating dynamic load on track due to train operation and analysis technique of propagation of ground vibration were developed. Futhermore, the estimated vibration from this model was compared with the actual measurement data in the field and found to be reasonably acceptable.

6-generalized coordinates of absolute translational displacements and angular displacements measured at Cartesian coordinates system fixed at the ground has been used to describe general dynamic behavior of a rigid body in mechanical systems. However, track coordinates system moving with the centerline of the track can be used to develop dynamic formulations for railway vehicle. It is easy to impose the constraints of track coordinates by the virtue of track coordinates system moving with track centerline. In this analysis, dynamic equations of railway vehicle by using track coordinates system is derived and the simulation results are presented.

In this study, 3D analysis was compared in evaluating the track deformation of subway structures during adjacent excavation. For the 3D analysis model, the boundary conditions of the tunnel model and the application level of the ground water were analyzed as variables. As the result of the effects of track irregularity using the 3D model, the analysis model considering the site ground water level instead of the design values and changing the constraint of the boundary condition is more reasonable. In addition, the influence of track irregularity due to the boundary condition and load condition of the analytical model is more obvious in the factors directly affected by the longitudinal relative displacement of the rail, such as alignment, cross level and gauge irregularity. Therefore, the evaluation on track stability according to adjacent excavation work was appropriate to analysed the longitudinal deformation of the track by using 3D model that could be investigate the deformation of rail. In addition, the boundary condition and load condition(ground water level) of the numerical model was important for accurate analysis results.

Ground displacements caused by the construction of overlapping twin shield tunnels with small turning radius are complex, especially under special geological conditions of construction. To investigate the ground displacements caused due to shield machines in the unique calcareous sand layers in Israel for the first time and determine the main factors affecting the ground displacements, field monitoring, laboratory geological analysis, theoretical calculations, and parameter studies were adopted. By using rod extensometers, inclinometers, total stations, and automatic segment-displacement monitors, subsurface tunneling-induced displacement, surface settlement, and displacement of the down-track tunnel segments caused by the construction of an up-track tunnel were analyzed. The up-track tunnel and the down-track tunnel pass through different stratum, resulting in different construction parameters and ground displacements. The laws of variation of thrust and torque, soil pressure in the chamber, excavated soil quantity, synchronous grouting pressure, and grout volume of the two tunnels from parallel to fully overlapping orientations were compared. The thrust and torque of the shield in the fine sand are larger than those in the Kurkar layer, and the grouting amount in fine sand is unstable. According to fuzzy statistics and Gaussian curve fitting of the shield tunneling speed, the tunneling speed in the Kurkar stratum is twice that in the fine-sand stratum.

The structure of the turnout track is very complex, so it is a facility that is more difficult to maintain and requires detailed management than a general track type. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect on the deformation of the turnout system of the ground section due to the excavation work adjacent to the serviced urban railways. In this study, based on finite element analysis for each stage of adjacent excavation, the track deformation for each major location of turnout system was analyzed in consideration of the layout of the turnout system installed on the ground section, and the safety and stability was confirmed by comparing it with the track irregularity regulation. As a result of the study, it was found that the major construction stage affecting the track deformation of the turnout system on the ground section was the final stage of excavation. In addition, although the vertical displacement which is a vertical irregularity occurred relatively large, it was analyzed that the horizontal deformation was dominant overall, because of the excavation site is located on the side of the turnout system. In addition, it was analyzed that the amount of displacement at each major location of the turnout system is different, and there is a possibility that there may be a twist irregularity due to the deviation of the track deformation for each location according to the distance from the excavation site. Therefore, it was analyzed that it is necessary to classify and manage the importance of the track deformation of the turnout system of actual operating line, including additional displacement due to adjacent excavation, based on the track irregularity that has occurred at each location where the major deformation characteristics occur.

The off-road tractive performance of tracked vehicles can be evaluated in terms of soil thrust, motion resistance and drawbar pull. The ability to predict accurately ground pressure distribution under track is of importance since the vehicle sinkage and motion resistance are closely related to it. While the formulation of the method for predicting ground pressure distribution follows closely in spirit the ideas outlined for the terrain with linear pressure- sinkage relation case by Garber and Wong, the analysis of various terrain stiffness is magnified by numerical implementation procedure. The effects of soil parameters on tractive forces can be introduced through the terrain-track interaction such as pressure-sinkage and shearing characteristics. It is illustrated by determining the drawber pull-slip relation and corresponding ground pressure distribution for the terrains typically chosen and by comparing the results with the conventional ones based on normal ground pressure. The factorial experiment method is finally adopted for checking the sensitivity of the values of soil parameters on the drawbar pull.

The construction of concrete track for the first time in Korea gives lots of meanings to civil engineering in various aspects. Settlement level needs to be kept minimal for the safety of the track. Concrete track has different structural characteristics comparing to conventional ballast track, so load distribution in concrete track is also different. Since it is the first time to build concrete track, there are very few experience and data available on the subject. Therefore it is important to evaluate how much load is transferred to the ground due to the running vehicle in concrete track and to determine the optimal thickness of layers. In this research, 9 individual earth pressure cells were installed at OOOk930 site in 2nd stage of Kyungbu high speed railway during under construction. The in-situ pressure data were measured at each layers during pump-car and locomotive were moving on the high speed railway surface.
