Post-construction subgrade settlement especially differential settlement, has become a key issue in construction and operation of non-ballasted track on high-speed railway soil subgrade, which may also affect the dynamic performance of passing trains. To estimate the effect of differential subgrade settlement on the mechanical behaviors of the vehicle-slab track system, a detailed model considering nonlinear subgrade support and initial track state due to track self-weight is developed. Accordingly, analysis aiming at a typical high-speed vehicle coupled with a deteriorated slab track owing to differential subgrade settlement is carried out, in terms of two aspects: (i) determination of an initial mapping relationship between subgrade settlement and track deflections as well as contact state between track and subgrade based on a semi-analytical method; (ii) simulation of dynamic performance of the coupled system by employing a time integration approach. The investigation indicates that subgrade settlement results in additional track irregularity, and locally, the contact between the concrete track and the soil subgrade is prone to failure. Moreover, wheel-rail interaction is significantly exacerbated by the track degradation and abnormal responses occur as a result of the unsupported areas. Distributions of interlaminar contact forces in track system vary dramatically due to the combined effect of track deterioration and dynamic load. These may not only intensify the dynamic responses of the coupled system, but also have impacts on the long-term behavior of the track components.

As a new type of vibration reduction, the ladder track system has been successfully used in engineering. In this paper, a numerical model of the train-track-viaduct system is established to study the dynamic responses of an elevated bridge with ladder track. The system is composed of a vehicle submodel, a track submodel and a bridge submodel, with the measured track irregularities as the system self-excitation. The whole time histories of a train running through an elevated bridge with $3{\times}27m$ continuous PC box girders are simulated. The dynamic responses of the bridge such as deflections, lateral and vertical accelerations, and the vehicle responses such as derailment factors, offload factors and car-body accelerations are calculated. The calculated results are partly validated through the comparison with the experimental data. Compared to the common slab track, adapting the ladder sleeper can effectively reduce the accelerations of the bridge girder, and also reduce the car-body accelerations and offload factors of the train vehicle.

To consider the effects of the increasing speed of next-generation high-speed trains, the existing traffic safety code for railway bridges needs to be improved. This study suggests a numerical method of evaluating the new effects of this increasing speed on railway bridges. A prestressed concrete (PSC) box bridge with a 40 m span length on the Gyeongbu track sector is selected as a representative example of high-speed railway bridges in Korea. Numerical models considering the inertial mass forces of a 38-degree-of-freedom train and the interaction forces with the bridge as well as track irregularities are presented in detail. The vertical deflections and accelerations of the deck are calculated and compared to find the new effects on the bridge arising with increasing speed under simply and continuously supported boundary conditions. The ratios between the static and dynamic responses are calculated as the dynamic amplification factors (DAFs) under different running speeds to evaluate the traffic safety. The maximum deflection and acceleration caused by the running speed are indicated, and regression equations for predicting these quantities based on the speed are also proposed.

Applications of membrane mechanisms are widely found in nano-devices and nano-sensor technologies nowadays. An alternative approach for large deflection analysis of the orthotropic, elliptic membranes - subject to gravitational, uniform pressures often found in nano-sensors - is described in this paper. The material properties of membranes are assumed to be orthogonally isotropic and linearly elastic, while the principal directions of elasticity are parallel to the coordinate axes. Formulating the potential energy functional of the orthotropic, elliptic membranes involves the strain energy that is attributed to inplane stress resultant and the potential energy due to applied pressures. In the solution method, Rayleigh-Ritz method can be used successfully to minimize the resulting total potential energy generated. The set of equilibrium equations was solved subsequently by Newton-Raphson. The unparalleled model formulation capable of analyzing the large deflections of both circular and elliptic membranes is verified by making numerical comparisons with existing results of circular membranes as well as finite element solutions. The results are found in excellent agreements at all cases. Then, the parametric investigations are given to delineate the impacts of the aspect ratios and orthotropic elasticity on large static tensions and deformations of the orthotropic, elliptic membranes.

This study presents an effective methodology on integrated monitoring system for a maglev guideway using WDM-based FBG sensors. The measuring quantities include both local and global quantities of the guideway response, such as stains, curvatures, and vertical deflections. The strains are directly measured from multiplexed FBG sensors at various locations of the test bridge followed by curvature calculations based on the plane section assumption. Vertical deflections are then estimated using the Bernoulli beam theory and regression analysis. Frequency contents obtained from the proposed method are compared with those from a conventional accelerometer. Verification tests were conducted on the newly-developed Korean Maglev test track. It has been shown that good agreement between the measured deflection and the estimated deflection is achieved. The difference between the two peak displacements was only 3.5% in maximum and the correlations between data from two sensing systems are overall very good. This confirms that the proposed technique is capable of tracing the dynamic behavior of the maglev guideway with an acceptable accuracy. Furthermore, it is expected that the proposed scheme provides an effective tool for monitoring the behavior of the maglev guideway structures without electro magnetic interference.

최근 콘크리트궤도 공법이 증가함에 따라 인접한 슬래브를 연결하는 방법에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 슬래브의 연결부는 효과적인 하중전달, 변형 연속화, 응력 분산을 위해서 다웰 시스템이 다수 적용된다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 슬래브 다웰연결부를 효율적으로 이상화할 수 있는 연결부의 집중 전단스프링 (Lumped shear spring) 모델을 제안한다. 전단 스프링 모델의 강성은 다웰바의 강성과 유격을 고려하였으며, 강도는 연결부의 전단파괴에 근거한 Concrete Capacity Design(CCD) 방법에 의해 산정되었다. 해석모델의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 다웰로 연결된 슬래브 실험체를 제작하고 재하실험을 수행하였다. 제안된 해석모델은 다웰과 콘크리트 간의 유격으로 인한 초기 비선형성 및 콘크리트 재료 비선형성을 합리적으로 반영하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 향후 슬래브 다웰 조인트로 연결된 콘크리트궤도의 파괴 시까지의 비선형 거동을 합리적으로 예측함으로써 철도 궤도의 설계 시 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
