A Study on a Theoretical Conceptual Design Model to Reduce the Weight of a Simple Box-type Cut-out Carbody

단순 Box형 Cut-out 차체모델의 경량화를 위한 이론적 개념설계 모델 연구

In this paper, a theoretical approach was studied to make a baseline box type model satisfying the stiffness condition of a cut-out model. First, we compared the sum of the sectional theoretical deflections and the FEM result of the cut-out model under the static load test conditions, and we obtained good correlations from both the results. Second, To obtain the thickness of the baseline model, we used the mean value of geometric moment of intertia of the side wall and roof structure. Also, we compared the theoretical results and the FEM result of a baseline model, and we obtained good correlations. It is considered that the developed theoretical approach can be used for the weight reduction of train carbodies.
