Wheel and rail wear is a fundamental and complicate problem in railway field. The life of railway is usually limited by wear. The wheel surface is subjected to high normal and tangential contact stress. The removal of material from the surface by wear is function of the sliding and contact stress. In the present paper, the wear characteristic depended on slip rate, contact pressure and temperature are investigated and is used to twin disc tester. The result shows that the wear in wheel-rail interface is remarkably depended on slip rate and contact pressure.

Corrugation of railway track can be caused by the various dynamic behaviors of traveling wheels and track. In this paper, the coupled vibrations of traveling wheel and railway track are analyzed as the cause of corrugations. To analyze the coupled vibration, the track supported by the sleepers and the traveling wheels are identified to the elastically supported infinite beam and the spring-mass system which runs at constant speed. The Hertzian contact spring is considered between the infinite beam and spring-mass system are calculated. The cause and development of rail corrugation are discussed in the view point of contact force fluctuation affected by the elastic supports and the corrugated surface profile on the track. By the obtained results, the possibilities of resonance are checked between the excitation by the corrugated surface profile and the natural frequency of contact spring-mass system. It may be thought to a development of railway corrugation.

현대사회의 고속 고급 교통수단에 대한 요구에 부응하고, 고유가 및 온실가스 등 원유 기반의 교통 시스템의 문제를 해결하기 위해 교통 수단의 다양화 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 석유문제가 심각한 상황으로 전개될 경우, 대륙과 대륙 그리고 국가와 국가 사이의 장거리 이동을 할 수 있는 교통수단은 전기로 추진되는 철도이다. 현재 대중화 되어있는 바퀴 식 철도차량은 초고속 운전 시 기하급수적으로 증가하는 소음, 공기저항 동력 전달의 한계, 레일의 마모라는 문제를 가지고 있으며 이러한 문제점을 가진 철도차량의 대안으로 선형 추진 시스템 연구가 진행 중이다[1] 국내에서는 LSM(Linear Synchronous motor)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나 LPM 기반 철도 차량 추진시스템에 대한 연구는 이루어지지 않고 있다. 그러나 LSM 추진 시스템에 비하여 LPM 추진 시스템은 우수한 등판 능력, 광역범위의 주행 가능 영역, 경량화에 따른 높은 에너지 효율, 건설비 저감등 다양한 장점을 가지고 있으며 충분한 전략성을 가지고 있다.

Railway tracks are repeatedly overstressed and damaged owing to increase in passing tonnage and numerous contact cycles between wheels of train and rails. In order to ensure safe train operation, heat-treated rails are used in addition to regular inspection and maintenance of these rails. Normal rails were treated using ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) to strengthen the surface of rails. A few changes in surface properties were detected with respect to hardness and compressive residual stress after UNSM treatment. Wear and rolling contact fatigue tests were performed using rails whose surfaces were hardened by UNSM and heat-treated rails. The amount of wear and fatigue life cycles were measured to estimate the effect of UNSM on the rail material. The material of the surfacehardened rail showed improved wear and rolling contact fatigue properties.

In this paper, slip wear phenomenon of train was studied by traction force of acceleration and braking force of deceleration. First, the slip wear phenomenon on train operation mode was analyzed when powering, coasting and braking each and then rail wear was analyzed from the slip wear data. Especially, the data proved correlation between slip wear and deceleration rather than acceleration. Second, If velocity of a train is constant, even though the velocity is high, ATO logging data and measurement data proved that the rail wear is not serious. It will help for efficient braking force operation providing fundamental data to braking step control.

The purpose of this work is to general approach to numerically simulating wear in rolling and sliding contact area between wheel and rail interface based on the analysis of dynamics characteristics with general MBS package. A simulation scheme is developed that calculates the wear at a detailed and various level. The estimation of material removal follows Archard's wear equation which states that the reduction of volume is linearly proportional to the sliding distance, the normal applied load and the wear coefficient and inverse proportional to hardness. The main research application is the wheel-rail contact of Korea High Speed Railway.

In this study, in order to evaluate the damage and deterioration of the track components of sleeper floating track (STEDEF), the field samples(specimens) were taken from the serviced line over 20 years old, and the track components were visually inspected, and investigated by laboratory tests and finite element analysis. As a result of visual inspection, the damage of the rail pad and fastener was slight, but the rubber boot was worn and torn at the edges of bottom. The resilience pads were clearly examined for thickness reduction and fatigue hardening layer. As a result of spring stiffness test of rail pad and resilience pad, the deterioration of rail pad was insignificant, but the deterioration of resilience pad exceeded design standard value. Therefore resilience pad was directly affected by train passing tonnage. As a result of comparing the deterioration state of the field sample and the numerical analysis result, the stress and displacement concentration position of the finite element model and the damage position of the field sample were coincident.

Before the complete construction of new high-speed line between Seoul and Pusan, KTX is going to operate on both new high-speed line between Seoul and Daegu and electrified conventional lines between Daegu and Pusan. Then, the wheels of KTX are going to operate on various rails such as KS50N and KS60 of conventional line as well as UIC60 of high-speed line. Also, conventional line will have a mixed traffic mode with various types of trains operating on it, such as Saemaul and Mugunghwa. Hence, this study reviews the wear phenomena of wheels and rails in geometrical point of view by comparing their profiles. The analyses of the results show that because UIC60 rail is designed for KTX, KS50N rail whose profile is similar to that of UIC60 will not have any impact on the shape of wheel wear. On the other hand, KS60 rail is expected to have partial wear on both the flange of KTX wheel and the gauge corner of the rail in the initial stages. However, the operation of the trains whose wheels have 1/20 conicity will cause partial sidewear on the inside of the rail and the movement of the contact point between KTX wheel and the rail toward the inside of the track. As a result, the flange wear of KTX wheel will be reduced and the formation of wear-equilibrium profile will be faster.
