The Periodic replacements criterion of rail is calculated on the basis of the research result of RTRI in Japan. It is suggested that the service life of the continuous welded rail(CWR) is estimated by the relationship between the rail surface irregularity according to the accumulated passing tonnage and bending fatigue of welded part in CWR. In order to establish the periodic replacements criterion of CWR, this study measured the rail surface irregularity according to the accumulated passing tonnage, the types of track system and welding. Therefore, it is analyzed that the gas pressure welding is the worst one of the others. In addition, it is analyzed that the rail surface irregularity growth rate in ballast track is about $0.02{\sim}0.03mm$/100MGT and its in concrete track is about $0.005{\sim}0.02mm$/100MGT Finally, the result of this study is able to use the basis data to establishing the periodic replacements criterion of CWR considering rail grinding.

Rail is one of major track components for train service, it should be provided in the condition of flat and smooth driving aspect. Therefore, it is inevitable that there would be the field welding to integrate on CWR(Continuous Welded Rail) removing rail joint in these days. It is high chance to be some rail surface irregularity due to the limitation on the status of work condition If a high speed train runs on the rail surface irregularity in the welding part, big impact load comes to pass on that, so track irregularity cycle is reduced, therefore track maintenance cost can be increased. this paper has analyzed wheel load variation according to removing the rail surface irregularity using portable grinding machine in the high speed line. The result measured before and after in the field is decreased about 9.26% on the wheel load variation.

The rail surface irregularity is generated severely by train braking effect in the section of station. The braking force increases slip rate and friction factors caused by wheel-rail contact points. It brings rail surface irregularity as well. In this study, interactions between wheel and rail were investigated using rolling contact fatigue theory and mechanism of rail degradation through fracture mechanics. For the more, the Von-Mises stress occurred on the rail due to the interaction between wheel and rail was analyzed using 3-D finite element method. The amounts of surface irregularity of rail were measured according to accumulated passing tonnage in urban railway in fields. Therefore, the maintenance of rail should be separated by running and braking sections to prevent RCF defects.

The control of rail surface irregularity is very important for the high speed train service in the high speed rail. In order to manage it, initial, preventative, and maintainable rail grinding have been performed and among them, preventative rail grinding conducts in every each year. This study carried out the field test for dynamic track response according to rail surface irregularity comparing before and after rail grinding. In addition, the change of dynamic track responses according to rail grinding was analyzed and the fatigue life was estimated though Rainflow Counting Method and RMC Equivalence Stress. Therefore, it suggested that rail fatigue life should be increased by rail grinding, because amount of impact occurred on track is decreased by getting rid of rail surface irregularity.

Rolling Stock running are making Rail Head Surface damage(corrugation, flaking, shelling, etc). It's coming out Rail Head Surface Irregularity. It increases Rolling Stock and structure vibration. Therefore, this paper analyzes the influence of Rail Head Surface Irregularity to railway vibration. And, It introduces the management method of Rail Head Surface and proposes its R&D direction in railway-run organization.

장대레일 교체주기는 자갈궤도 레일두부 표면요철과 레일 휨피로의 상관관계 분석을 통해 산정되었다. 본 연구에서는 국내 도시철도(서울메트로) 콘크리트궤도에서 레일두부 표면요철량에 따른 레일 휨응력을 측정하였다. 또한, 콘크리트궤도 레일두부 표면요철, 속도와 레일 휨응력의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 결론적으로, 중회귀분석을 통해 운행속도(U), 표면요철(v, w)에 따른 레일 휨응력(Y) 예측식을 도출하였다. 본 연구결과는 콘크리트궤도 장대레일 교체주기를 수립하기 위한 기초데이터로 활용이 가능할 것이다.

Railroad is the major factor of vibration source in railway vehicles, and it must carefully maintained the original condition to secure the safety and good ride comfort of passenger. Measuring the condition of rail irregularities such as surface, alignment, gauge, twist and cant etc is required to maintain the good performance of railroad. Currently, the various rail irregularity measurement systems(EM120, ROGER1000K and the Total Rail Irregularity Measurement system of Korea High Speed Train) are operated in Korea to estimate the rail irregularity. It is hard to verify the correlation of one rail irregularity data of a measurement system with the other, because they have been adopted different rail irregularity estimation methods. The best method securing the reliability of the irregularity data is the direct confirmation on the ground where the measurement system had detected as a fault section, but it is impossible to apply all sections simultaneously due to limitation of time, labor, cost and equipments. There is a method to secure the reliability of the data by using acceleration values. Rail irregularities, the major factor of vibration in railway vehicle, are transmitted to the vehicle acceleration through masses, springs, dampers and joints as the system dynamic formation. In this study, Transition Function has been adopted by using the rail irregularity and the acceleration value regarding as input & output parameters respectively. It has been verified by comparing the analyzed results with real measured irregularity data from the Total Rail Irregularity Measurement system of Korea High Speed Train. Also various methods has been accomplished to verify the correlation between rail irregularities and acceleration values.

레일 표면 결함이 발생할 경우 매우 높은 충격하중이 발생하여 레일 피로 진전 또는 레일 파단에 이를 수 있고 레일이 파단될 경우 열차탈선 등 대형 사고가 발생할 수 있으므로 레일 결함부에 대한 관리기준의 정립이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 차량-궤도 동적 상호작용 해석 프로그램을 이용하여, 실제 고속철도 자갈궤도에서 결함이 발생한 43개 지점에서 측정된 레일요철을 입력값으로 하여, 요철 깊이에 따른 충격 윤중과 레일 휨응력을 산정하였다. 궤도틀림을 감안하여 윤중 및 레일 휨응력의 한계값을 설정하고, 해석결과로부터 얻은 윤중 및 레일 휨응력 최대값과 결함 깊이 및 폭과의 상관관계를 분석함으로써 레일 표면 결함부에 대한 관리기준을 제시하였다. 분석 결과, 허용할 수 있는 요철 깊이는 충격 윤중에 의하여 발생할 수 있는 레일 두부의 소성 변형을 방지하기 위하여 관리되어야 하며, 엄격한 조건을 평가할 경우 그 값은 0.2mm 정도가 적당함을 알 수 있었다.

Large dynamic forces are generated between wheel and rail due to rail surface irregularities at rail welded part. The effects become more and more significant in the view of the present tendency to train speed increasing. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to derive useful guides for the effective and economical maintenance of rail welded parts through the wheel and rail interaction analyses. A typical shape for the irregularity of rail welded part is assumed to make the analysis quantitative. The effects of the irregularity depth and train speed on the train and track behaviors are investigated.

레일 피로 열화손상유형들은 크게 레일표면에서 발생하는 결함들과 레일내부에서 진전되어 발생하는 결함들로 구분되어질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 연간 누적통과톤수가 가장 많은 도시철도의 운행조건을 고려하여 현장측정을 통해 레일표면 요철성장률을 분석하였으며, 연마 후 누적통과톤수에 따른 시험편을 현장에서 발췌하여 현미경을 이용한 조직검사, 화학성분검사, 마이크로 비커스 경도시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과 신품레일의 경우 유효탈탄층 제거를 위해 약 0.3mm의 초기연마를 시행해야하며, 예방연마의 경우 전구간을 일괄적으로 연마할 경우와 특정 구간별로 구분하여 연마할 경우에 대하여 2가지 방안을 제시하여 레일표면에서 발생하는 RCF결함을 예방하거나 제거할 수 있도록 제시하였다.
