철도운행에 있어 분기기는 열차를 주행선로에서 이웃한 선로로 이동시키는 매우 중요한 역할을 수행하는 중요한 장치이다. 우리나라 철도는 기존선의 속도향상을 달성하기 위하여 곡선부가 딴은 우리나라 지형에 적합한 최고운행속도 180 km/h의 틸팅열차를 개발하여 현재 시제차량 제작을 마치고 시운전 시험이 단계적으로 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존선 속도향상을 위해 개발된 틸팅열차가 분기기를 통과할 때 발생하는 소음특성을 현장계측실험을 통해 평가하였다.

Before the complete construction of new high-speed line between Seoul and Pusan, KTX is going to operate on both new high-speed line between Seoul and Daegu and electrified conventional lines between Daegu and Pusan. Then, the wheels of KTX are going to operate on various rails such as KS50N and KS60 of conventional line as well as UIC60 of high-speed line. Also, conventional line will have a mixed traffic mode with various types of trains operating on it, such as Saemaul and Mugunghwa. Hence, this study reviews the wear phenomena of wheels and rails in geometrical point of view by comparing their profiles. The analyses of the results show that because UIC60 rail is designed for KTX, KS50N rail whose profile is similar to that of UIC60 will not have any impact on the shape of wheel wear. On the other hand, KS60 rail is expected to have partial wear on both the flange of KTX wheel and the gauge corner of the rail in the initial stages. However, the operation of the trains whose wheels have 1/20 conicity will cause partial sidewear on the inside of the rail and the movement of the contact point between KTX wheel and the rail toward the inside of the track. As a result, the flange wear of KTX wheel will be reduced and the formation of wear-equilibrium profile will be faster.

Until now, the railway has been constructed using track with jointed rails of relatively short lengths to allow thermal expansion in hot summer months. These joints weaken the track structurally and increase track maintenance cost and power consumption of the running train. The CWR(Continuous Welded Rail) Track is the solution of these drawbacks. Although the CWR track not only reduces the track maintenance cost but also increases the life cycle of track components, the stability of the track is highly affected by change of temperatures and vehicle load. A three dimensional nonlinear analysis which considers rail, fastening system and tie has been performed to understand structural behavior of the CWR track. In this case, the translational and rotational stiffness values of fastening system have not been studied. The fastening system makes ties and rails connect. In this study, the stiffness values of various types of fastening systems which consist of clips, rail-pads and insulators are determined by the experiment. The experimental results of the fastening system are compared with the results of parametric study that is performed to investigate the sensitivity of fastening system on stability of CWR track.

Internal and external railway management corporations are using the periodic replacement criteria of rail by accumulated passing tonnage and wear to maintain rails for servicing. However, internal the periodic replacement criteria of continuous welded rail(CWR) by accumulated passing tonnage is the one(50kg/m-5 million gross tonnage, 60kg/m-6 million gross tonnage) presented in Japan before. It was estimated with the fatigue life about 50kg N rail joints applied diesel train load but it wasn't applied to current conditions of track; elimination of rail joint, using the concrete slab track and operation of light train load and effect of welding, manufacturing technique, grinding of rail. Therefore, in this study, it was investigated the types of damage and cause in welded rails and examined standards and information resources. Also, this study presents preliminary data to revise the periodic replacement criteria of CWR by current accumulated passing tonnage in bending test of laid welded rail and a survey of track maintenance history of Seoul metro.

In electric motor coaches, the rolling stocks move by the adhesive effort between rail and driving wheel. Generally, the adhesive effort is defined by the function of both the weight of electric motor coach and the adhesive effort between rails and driving wheel. The characteristics of adhesive effort is strongly affected by the conditions between rails and driving wheel. When the adhesive effort decreases suddenly, the electric motor coach has slip phenomena. This paper proposes a re-adhesion control algorithm which uses the maximum adhesive effort by instantaneous estimation of adhesion force using load torque disturbance observer. Based on this estimated adhesive effort, the re-adhesion control is performed to obtain the maximum transfer of the tractive effort.

Railway vehicles driven by wheels obtain force required for propulsion and braking by adhesive force between wheels and rails, this adhesive force is determined by multiplying adhesion coefficient of the friction surface by the applied axle load. Because the adhesion coefficient has a peak at certain slip velocity, it is important to determine the maximum values of the friction coefficient on the contact area. But this adhesive phenomenon is not clearly examined or analyzed. Thus we have developed new test procedure using the scaled adhesion test-bench for analyzing of the adhesion coefficient between wheel and rail. This adhesion test equipment is an experimental device that contacts mutually with twin disc which are equivalent to wheels and rails of railway vehicles.

The wide spread of DC electric railway systems such as urban rapid transits including heavy rail and light rail transits has significant ramification as the stray currents from return conductor rails can cause the electrochemical interference, that is, the electrolytic corrosion of both rails and outside underground metallic infrastructures. The immature understanding of either the railway authority who is responsible for establishing the necessary provisions at the design stage or the affected parties makes it difficult to prepare the optimum range of solutions for the long-pending interference problem. In advanced countries, however, numerous assessment studies have been carried out on the stray current interference, by which protective standards and regulations are provided under the collaboration and agreement of the related parties. In this paper, we introduce a european standard from IEC, namely, "IEC 62128-2:2003 railway applications-fixed installations -part 2: protective provisions against the effects of stray currents caused by d.c. traction systems" and a "Code of Practice" produced by Victorian electrolysis committee (VEC) based on "Electricity Safety Act 1998" and "Electricity safety (stray current corrosion) regulations 1999" of Victoria state, Australia.

단거리 함대공 미사일인 RAM은 경량화 및 상황 대처 능력이 탁월하고 신속한 선박 자체의 방어용 미사일로서 미국과 독일의 NATO 협력 프로그램에 의해 공동으로 개발하여 양산되고 있으며, 미국과 독일 외에 한국해군도 도입하여 신형함정에 장착함으로써 선박 자가 방어 능력을 갖추고 있다. 이에, 독일에서 개발한 나선형의 레일 타입 복합재 발사관에서 요구하고 있는 RAM 발사관의 공정 개발과 인증시험을 국내에서 성공함으로써 나선형 유도탄 발사관에 대한 구조 성능 분석을 수행함은 물론 환경 특성평가 시험에 대하여 종합적인 연구를 통하여 향후 복합재 발사관의 개발에 많은 도움과 적용이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Rolling-sliding, cyclic contact of wheel and rail progressively alters the microstructure of the contacting steels, eventually leading to micro-scale crack initiation, wear and macro-scale crack growth in the railhead. Relating the microstructural changes to subsequent wear and cracking is being accomplished through modelling at three spatial scales: (i) bulk material (ii) multi-grain and (iii) sub-grain. The models incorporate detailed information from metallurgical examinations of used rails and tested rail material. The initial 2-dimensional models representing the rail material are being further developed into 3-dimensional models. Modelling is taking account of thermal effects, and traffic patterns to which the rails are exposed.

Aerostatic planar XY stages are frequently used as the main frames of precision positioning systems. The machining and assembly process of the rails and bed of the stage is one of first processes performed when the system is built. When the system is complete, the 2D position, motion, and stage flatness errors are measured in tests. If the stage errors exceed the application requirements, the stage must be remachined and the assembly process must be repeated. This is difficult and time-consuming work. In this paper, a method for estimating the errors of a planar XY stage is proposed that can be applied when the rails and bed of the stage are evaluated. Profile measurements, estimates of the motion error, and 2D position estimation models were considered. A comparison of experimental results and our estimates indicated that the estimated errors were within $1{\mu}m$ of their true values. Thus, the proposed estimation method for 2D position and flatness errors of an aerostatic planar XY stage is expected to be a useful tool during the assembly process of guideways.
