Abstract

This paper describes the crashworthiness evaluation and performance improvement of tilting train made of sandwich composites. The applied sandwich composite of carbody structure was composed of aluminum honeycomb core and glass/epoxy & carbon/epoxy laminate composite facesheet. Crashworthiness analysis of tilting train was carried out using explicit finite element analysis code LS-DYNA 3D. The 3D finite element model and 1D equivalent model were applied to save the finite element modeling and calculation time for crash analysis. The crash conditions of tilting train were conducted according to four crash scenarios of the Korean railway safety law. It found that the crashworthiness analysis results were satisfied with the performance requirements except the crash scenario-2. In order to meet the crashworthiness requirements for crash scenario-2, the stiffness reinforcement for the laminate composite cover and metal frames of cabmask structure was proposed. Consequentially, it has satisfied the requirement for crash scenario-2.

본 논문은 샌드위치 복합재 틸팅열차의 충돌안전도 평가 및 성능 향상방안에 대해 서술하고 있다. 차체 구조물에 적용된 샌드위치 복합재는 알루미늄 하니컴 심재와 유리섬유 및 카본/에폭시 적층 복합재 면재로 이루어져있다. 충돌해석은 외연유한 요소 해석 프로그램인 LS-DYNA3D를 이용하였다. 이때, 유한요소모델링과 충돌해석 계산시간의 절약을 위하여 3차원 유한요소모델과 1차원 등가 모델을 적용하였다. 틸팅열차의 충돌 조건은 철도안전법에 명시하고 있는 4가지 충돌사고 시나리오를 고려하여 해석을 수행하였다. 충돌해석 결과 시나리오-2를 제외한 나머지 충돌 시나리오에서 성능 요구조건을 만족하였다. 충돌 시나리오-2의 충돌안전도 요구조건을 충족하기 위하여 전두부의 적층복합재 커버와 금속프레임의 강성 향상방안을 제안하였으며, 결과적으로 충돌 시나리오-2의 요구조건을 만족하였다.
