In this study, the shapes of the wheel and rail are represented by using 3-dimensional surface functions with surface parameters and a 3-dimensional wheel-rail contact analysis is presented. A whole numerical solution of wheel-rail contact at tread and flange including 2-point contacts can be achieved with the proposed numerical algorithm. Kinematic characteristics such as variances of vertical displacement and roll angle, and variance of wheel radius difference for arbitrary yaw and lateral displacement of wheelset, are determined for the KTX wheel-rail pair as an example. The condition of yaw and lateral displacement occurring 2-point contacts to analyze derailment are compared between standard and worn wheels. Differences of contact characteristics between curved and straight rails are also analyzed.

In this paper, a finite element analysis technique of rolling stock models for collision-induced derailments was suggested using rolling contacts for wheel-rail interaction. The collision-induced derailments of rolling stock can be categorized into two patterns of wheel-climb and wheel-lift according to the friction direction between wheel flange and rail. The wheel-climb derailment types are classified as Climb-up, Climb/roll-over and Roll-over-C types, and the wheel-lift derailment types as Slip-up, Slip/roll-over and Roll-over-L types. To verify the rolling contact simulations for wheel-rail interaction, dynamic simulations of a single wheelset using Recurdyn of Functionbay and Ls-Dyna of LSTC were performed and compared for the 6-typical derailments. The collision-induced derailment simulation of the finite element model of KHST (Korean High Speed Train) was conducted and verified using the theoretical predictions of a simplified wheel-set model proposed for each derailment type.

The numerical results on the stress distributions of rail-wheel contact problems are presented for three models in a high-speed rail system. These models which have straight and tapered (1:40 and 1:20) contact geometries between the wheelset and rail are analyzed using the finite element approach. From the simulation results we found that the tapered geometry (1:20) of railwheel contact base line showed very stable contact stress distributions for a whole contact position between the wheel and rail in a curved rail section. The FEM computed results may present an optimized slope geometry of rail-wheel contact in a high-speed railway system.

탈선은 차륜 플렌지가 레일에 접촉할 때 발생하는 횡방향의 힘이 커져 차륜이 레일을 이탈하는 현상이다. 탈선 또는 주행안전도를 평가하는 대표적인 기준은 탈선계수이다. 차륜에 스트레인게이지를 부착하여 탈선계수를 측정하는 기존방법은 대단히 복잡하고 측정의 실패확률도 높으며, 고도의 측정기술과 고가의 비용이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 안전성확인이 필요한 그 시점에 즉시 확인하지 못하고 있어 안전확보에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 논문에서는 차륜과 레일간의 접촉력인 윤중과 횡압을 쉽게 측정할 수 있는 방안을 집중적으로 연구하였으며, 가속도과 변위의 거동만으로 탈선 가능성을 예측할 수 있는 새로운 탈선계수 측정방법을 제시하였다.

최근 미세먼지가 사회적 이슈가 됨에 따라 지하철 시스템의 공기 질에도 많은 관심이 쏠리고 있다. 지하철 미세먼지는 지상과 달리 폐쇄적인 환경이라는 특징이 있는데, 이로 인해 발생 및 유입된 미세먼지는 지하철 시스템에 축적된다. 지하철 미세먼지의 대부분을 차지하는 미세마모입자들은 철 성분을 주축으로 다양한 중금속 성분을 포함하므로 인체에 해롭다. 본 기고문에서는 이러한 지하철 미세먼지 및 미세마모입자에 대한 기본 지식과 미세마모입자의 주된 발생원인 휠-레일 접촉 미세먼지발생 연구에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 연구 결과들은 지하철 공기 질 향상을 위해 미세마모입자 발생 저감에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, the most important suspension characteristics of railway vehicle, such as primary and secondary stiffness, are optimized to maximize ride qualify. Critical speed, secondary suspension stroke oil tangent track and derailment coefficient on the maximum curvature, are selected as the performance constraints. Piecewise linear curving model is used to evaluate derailment coefficient where it is assumed that wheel/rail contacts occurs at tread or at idealized flange. The combined design procedure is used to optimize above design variables at the same time.

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.
