This paper presents results from experimental analysis of a friction-driven wheel responsible for generating wheel squeal noise. Squeal noise generating mechanism has been examined under the laboratory condition by the model rig on a small scale. Creep characteristics and squeal noise were observed by changing the possible variables, such as relative velocities and friction coefficients in time- and frequency-domain.

This paper presents experimental analysis of a friction-driven wheel responsible for generating wheel squeal. Squeal noise generating mechanism has been examined under the laboratory condition by the model rig. Creep characteristics and squeal noise were observed by varying relative velocity of the wheel with respect to the rail and friction coefficient. Computational radiating noise analysis was also performed based on the modal analysis and noise transfer function measurement of the object wheel.

Not only difference of fatigue crack growth and propagation behavior resulted from the grain size, the hardness ratio and volume fraction in M.E.F. dual phase steel composed of martensite in hard phase and ferrite in soft phase, but also the effects of the plastic constraint were investigated by fracture mechanics and microstructural method. The main results obtained are as follows: 1) The fatigue endurance of M.E.F. steel increases with decreasing the grain size, increasing the ratio of hardness and volume fraction. 2) The initiation of slip and crack occures faster as the stress level goes higher. These phenomena result from the plastic constraint effect of the second phase. 3) The crack propagation rate in the constant stress level is faster as the grain size gets larger, the ratio of hardness lower and volume fraction smaller.

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 disturbance observer. Based on this estimated adhesive effort, the re-adhesion control is performed to obtain the maximum transfer of the tractive effort.

In trains driven by electric motor, when the adhesion force between rail and driving wheel decreases suddenly, the electric motor coach has slip phenomena. The characteristics of adhesion force coefficient are strongly affected by the conditions between rails and driving wheels, such as moisture, dust, and oil on the rails and so on. This paper proposes the vector control structure for the improved re-adhesion control with paralleled control of induction motors under the sudden variation of the adhesion force.

There is no standard rule for the test of the railway abrasion measurement system composed of the line laser and the camera. This paper is proposed of the method to estimate the performance of the railway abrasion measurement system. The performance estimation is achieved by the quantitative analysis parameters such as MTF, NPS and DQE.

In this work, friction materials with three different formulations containing different amounts of the solid lubricants were investigated to study the role of lubricants on the friction performance. The three friction materials contained graphite 10 vol. %, graphite 7 vol. % + MoS$_2$ 3 vol.%, and graphite 7 vol. % + $Sb_2S_3$ 3 vol. %, respectively, with the same amount of other ingredients. Results of this work showed that each formulation with different lubricants had unique advantages and disadvantages. The friction materials containing graphite 7 vol. % + MoS$_2$ 3 vol. % and graphite 7 % + $Sb_2S_3$ 3 vol. % showed better resistance to fading and improved friction stability compare to the friction materials containing graphite only as a lubricant. However, the friction materials with two lubricants (graphite + MoS$_2$ or $Sb_2S_3$) showed disadvantages on stick-slip phenomena, amplitude of torque, and rotor wear.

A neural network compensator for stick-slip friction phenomena in meashartonics servo systems is practically proposed to supplement the traditionally available position and velocity control loops for precise motion control. The neural network compensa-tor plays the role of canceling the effect of nonlinear slipping friction force. It works robustly and effectively in a real control system. This enables the mechatronics servo systems to provide more precise control in the digital computer. It was confirmed that the con-trol accuracy is improved near zero velocity and points of changing the moving direction through numerical simulation. However, asymptotic property on the steady state error of the normal operation points is guaranteed by the integral term of traditional velocity loop controller.

Seven axis modular type pneumatic manipulator is composed of electro-pneumatic automation system which contributes to factory automation by performing loading & unloading process successively which is simple routine work of dealing item of machine tool, catapult, assembly machine, welding machine and so on. In this study, we obtained soft and quick movement in a large space and good reliability motion of various function by combining several actuators which perform rotation movement as well as linear movement at the same time. Gripper which apply to rotary sensor transmitted a structure to demanded position. This development item of 5kgf load prevent stick-slip phenomena of stroke end by designing high cushion internal. We develope flexible manipulator which conforms to demand of user by applying multiple sequence program.

A homogeneous flow field including more than 2000 spherical particles was directly simulated. Particles are settling by gravity with the Reynolds number ranging from 50 to 300, based on diameter and slip velocity. Particular attention was focused on the distribution of particles. The Reynolds-number dependence, influences of particle rotation and loading ratio, and the dynamics of particle clusters are discussed. In the higher Reynolds number case, the wake attraction causes particle clusters and the average drag coefficient decreases significantly. Non-rotating particles maintain cluster structure and rotating ones moves randomly in the horizontal direction. It is because of the difference in the direction of the lift force.
