The forces involved in the firing of the electromagnetic rail gun may be analyzed from Amperian, Maxwellian and Einsteinian approaches. This paper discusses these different paradigms with regard to rail gun performance modeling relating to the generation and balance of the forces caused by the currents and their induced magnetic fields. Recent experimental work on model rail guns, where the armature is held static, shows very little recoil upon the rails, thereby indicating a possible violation of Newton's Third Law of Motion. Dynamic testing to show this violation, as suggested by the authors in an earlier paper, has inherent technical difficulties. A purpose-built finite element C/C++ simulator that models that suspended rail gun firing action shows a net force acting upon the entire rail gun system. A new effect in physics, universal in scope, is thus indicated: a current circulating in an asymmetric and rigid circuit causes a net force to act upon the circuit for the duration of the current. This conclusion following from computer simulation based upon Maxwellian electrodynamics as opposed to the more modern relativistic quantum electrodynamics needs to be supported by unambiguous experimental validation.

An electromagnetic launcher (EML) system accelerates and launches a projectile by converting electric energy into kinetic energy. There are two types of EML systems under development: the rail gun and the coil gun. A railgun comprises a pair of parallel conducting rails, along which a sliding armature is accelerated by the electromagnetic effects of a current that flows down one rail, into the armature and then back along the other rail, but the high mechanical friction between the projectile and the rail can damage the projectile. A coil gun launches the projectile by the attractive magnetic force of the electromagnetic coil. A higher projectile muzzle velocity needs multiple stages of electromagnetic coils, which makes the coil gun EML system longer. As a result, the installation cost of a coil gun EML system is very high due to the large installation site needed for the EML. We present a coil gun EML system that has a new structure and arrangement for multiple electromagnetic coils to reduce the length of the system. A mathematical model of the proposed coil gun EML system is developed in order to calculate the magnetic field and forces, and to simulate the muzzle velocity of a projectile by driving and switching the electric current into multiple stages of electromagnetic coils. Using the proposed design, the length of the coil gun EML system is shortened by 31% compared with a conventional coil gun system while satisfying a target projectile muzzle velocity of over 100 m/s.

The noise emitted during train operation is generated with various reasons. It is known that the major noise generation is classified according to the ranges of train speed; that is, engine noise at lower speed range, rolling noise at medium speed range, and air-borne noise at higher speed range. These noises are transmitted in combined form with the noises generated from track components and under-carriage, etc. The rolling noise as a major noise at medium speed range is caused by the vibration occurred at wheel/rail interface. The vibration occurred at wheel/rail interface is transmitted to wheel and rail, and this vibration is emitted from wheel and rail as a noise. In this paper, a soundproof box which can simply measure the noise emitted from rail and analyze the characteristics of the measured noise is studied.

본 논문은 트리거 시간을 조절하여 펄스 성형이 가능한 150 MW 펄스 파워 시스템의 설계와 동작특성을 알아보았다. 이 시스템은 2개의 커패시터 뱅크 모듈로 구성되어 있고, 각 커패시터 뱅크 모듈은 병렬로 연결되어 있다. 그리고 커패시터 뱅크 모듈은 메인스위치, 커패시터, 에너지 덤프회로, 크로바 회로, 펄스 성형 인덕터로 구성되어 있다. 또한 이 시스템의 모듈 선택과 트리거 시간은 트리거 제어부에서 조정된다. Pspice 시뮬레이션은 실험회로의 결과를 예측하고, 시스템의 구성품의 파라미터를 결정하기 위한 것으로 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 시뮬레이션은 실험결과와 잘 일치하였다. 출력 전류의 펄스폭은 커패시터 뱅크 모듈에서의 순간적 점화 시간 제어로 300~650 us의 펄스폭이 형성되었다. 그리고 최대 전류값은 2개의 커패시터 뱅크 모듈이 동시에 트리거 되었을 때 약 40 kA 정도이다. 이 150 MW 펄스 파워 시스템은 파암 전원, Rail Gun, Coil Gun, 나노분말 제조, HPM 등과 같은 대전류 펄스 파워 시스템에 적용할 수 있다.

구조 및 전기적 제약조건을 고려한 전자력 발사기의 최적설계에 대해 연구하였다. 펄스형 대전류가 흐르는 발사기의 단면적이 최소화되었으며 각 요소(레일, 측면벽, 세라믹 및 강철)의 허용응력과 예하중을 고려하였다. 전기적 제약조건은 발사기의 성능을 저하시키는 와전류 효과를 방지하기 위한 세라믹의 두께로 정하였다. 90mm발사기의 설계에서 응력해석과 최적화는 ANSYS코드를 사용하여 수행되었다. 예하중을 받는 최적설계에서는 예하중을 받지 않는 최적설계보다 53%의 단면적이 감소되었다. 레일의 원호각이 45.deg.일때 발사기의 성능이 가장 양호하다. 레일의 원호각이 45.deg.일때 Fahrenthold 연구결과와 비교하여 9%의 변형량 감소와 10.4%의 변형량 감소를 얻었고, 예하중도 186Mpa에서 59.8Mpa로 감소되었다. 연구결과는 설계 요구조건을 충분히 만족시켜 주고 있음을 보여 주었다.

The wear and defects on the wheel tread are caused by the interface between wheel and rail, the suspension system on bogie, the track condition and etc, which are interacted with complex mechanism. Because of the difficulty of analysis of wheel and rail interaction, the measuring data are necessary for improvement of wheel design and maintenance of train. On this case study, the pattern of wheel wears and defects are presented and lifetime of wheel and the reprofiling period are estimated on a basis of the measured results.

A flat plate-column connection is susceptible to brittle punching shear failure, which may result in the necessity of shear reinforcement. In present study, experimental tests were performed to study the capacity of slab-column connections strengthened with lattice, stud rail, shear band and stirrup under gravity and cyclic lateral load. Among them, the capacity of the specimens with lattice are superior to the others due to the truss action of the lattice bars and dowel action of the longitudinal bars as well as the shear resistance of the web re-bar. On the other hand, the strengths of the specimens with stud rail, shear band and stirrup are lower than the estimated strength by the ACI, therefore design formulas of the ACI are needed to revise.
