The purpose of this study was to design a powertrain for a 78 kW AWD (all wheel drive) electric tractor by analyzing the combination of various reduction gear ratios on a commercial motor using data from actual agricultural work and driving conditions. A load measurement system was constructed to collect data using wheel torque meters, proximity sensors, and a data acquisition system. Field experiments for measuring load data were performed for two environmental driving conditions (on asphalt and soil) and four agricultural operations (plow tillage, rotary tillage, loader operation, and baler operation). The attached implements and gear stages were selected through farmer surveys. The range of the reduction ratio was determined by selecting the minimum reduction ratio needed to satisfy the torque condition required for agricultural operations and the maximum reduction gear ratio to satisfy the maximum travel speed. The minimum reduction gear ratio selected was 57 in consideration of the working load condition and the maximum reduction gear ratio selected was 62 considering the maximum running speed. In the range of the reduction gear ratio 57 - 62, the selected motor satisfied all working torque conditions. As a result, the combination of the selected motor and reduction gear ratio was applicable for satisfying the loads required during agricultural operation and driving operation.

The most of reducers consist of many gear parts, but a ball reducer never contains a gear. As the ball reducer with gearless has no back lash, it is necessary more and more to precision machine. The reducing of ball reducer happens by cycloid curves and all instant relative velocity centers always pass on a given constant position when rotational running. Then, it is difficult to calculate cycloid curve for design and machining. So, this paper studied a software for the design of the ball reducer design and machined all parts included among cycloid curve. By using the developed software, this study has large benefit to design every ball reducer.

Safety diagnosis of electric train driving system is performed using vibration signals of running electric train. Safety diagnosis is tried on the viewpoints of the appreciation of superannuation and the fault diagnosis of motor, reduction gear and bogie. The appreciation of superannuation is checked by the vibration levels of driving parts and the fault diagnosis is done by analyzing the frequencies of the vibration signals which are measured directly from a running electric train. The results shows that the vibration levels of each parts increase as the train gets older and each parts have their own frequency patterns of the vibration. Vibration propagation path is also investigated using calculated the coherence value between bogie and driving system. As the results, it is known that vibration signal can be utilized successfully for the safety diagnosis of the driving part of electric train.

The deterioration of a shunting locomotive was characterized for the lifetime assessment. The locomotive has been used for shunting works in steel making processes, and in this investigation, various types of technical evaluation methods for the locomotive parts were employed to assess the current deterioration status and to provide important clue for lifetime prediction. Unlike other rolling stocks in railway applications, the diesel shunting locomotive is composed of major components such as diesel engine, transmission, gear box, brake system, electronic devices, etc. In this paper, the analysis results of running performance assessment have been used to provide the critical information for the criteria of precision diagnosis assessment.

Along the seashore regions in Korea, though strong winds with very large strength are frequently witnessed, no system which can provide appropriate speed information for driving vehicle has been introduced. The driving against strong winds could be very dangerous because of the high possibility of accidents such as rollover and collision. These accidents usually resulted from driver's forced driving try even in difficult situation for steering vehicle, and sometimes overspeed without consideration of wind impact to the vehicles. To reduce accident caused by strong winds, it is important to inform drivers of appropriate driving speeds by perceiving strong winds. By setting up WIS at the main points where strong winds frequently appear and using the variable message sign(VMS) connected to the on-line whether information system, it tis possible to provide desired speed information, which can maintain vehicles' tractive force and maximum running resistance. The case study is conducted on the case of Mokpo-Big-Bridge, which is under construction at Mokpo city. The result show that in case the annual average direction of wind is South and the wind speed is over 8m/hr, the desired speed, which is required in order for vehicles running to South direction to maintain the marginal driving power, is 60km/hr. In addition, for the case of a typhoon such as Memi generated in 2003 year, if wind speed had been 18m/sec in Mokpo city at that time, the running resistance at the speed of 40km/hr is calculated as 1131N. This resistance can not be overcome at the 4th gear(1054N) level, therefore, the gear of vehicles should be reduced down to the 3rd level. In this case, the appropriate speed is 40km/h, and at this point the biggest difference between running resistance and tractive force is generated.

Recently, electric skateboards have been used as a means of personal transportation due to their convenience and simplicity of operation, but the conventional skateboards driven by timing belts or hub motors have disadvantages such as low driving torque, high current and vibration. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new type of electric skateboard that can run at high speeds for long periods of time so that it can be used as a auxiliary means of transportation. The planetary gear and motor unit are combined and installed inside one drive wheel, and power is supplied to the wheel through the integrated driving unit to prevent high currents and enable high-speed driving. First, the allowable current and running speed of the electric skateboard were set for efficient personal transportation and the appropriate reduction ratio, modules, and planetary gear dimensions were determined by comparing the torque required for the wheel axis and the maximum output torque of the motor. Additionally, an appropriate suspension device was added to reduce driving vibration for user convenience, and the feasibility of the proposed in-wheel gearbox was experimentally verified through fabrication.

Moving parts of the rotating and reciprocating mechanism are the most important components of the diesel engines and require very high reliability in their design. Especially the crankshaft, the key component of running gear (powertrain), is subject to complicated loadings such as bending, shear and torsion coming from firing pressure, inertia forces and torsional vibration of crankshaft system. Intrinsically they show different cyclic patterns of loading in both direction and magnitude, and thus ordinary approach of proportional loading is less valid to analyze the dynamic structural behavior of crankshaft. In this paper, new fatigue analysis method is introduced to analyze and design the crankshaft of a medium-speed diesel engine in order to consider the non-proportional multi-axial loads realistically as well as to present the general fatigue analysis approach for an engine crankshaft.

The vibration signals of driving parts of electric train are distorted its signal patterns due to the impact components, which occurs when wheel passes rail joints. An elimination method of the impact components is investigated using adaptive signal processing technique in this study The result shows that adaptive interference canceling method seems to be more effective than line enhancement technique. The application of adaptive interference canceling method to the signal measured at bogie shows that the extractions of the signals of driving parts of traction motor, reduction gear, and axle bearing are successful. Therefore, only the signals of bogie, which is the place to attach an accelerometer easily, is sufficient for the fault diagnosis and the safety evaluation of electric train. Also, adaptive interference canceling method can be applicable to evaluate the performance of vibration isolation between bogie and car body and to investigate the characteristics of indoor sound.
