The ballast abrasion occurs on the ballasted track upon bridges more than soil roadbed because the track vibration occurs a lot in the ballasted track upon bridges due to girder vibration when a train's weight is loaded onto track even though the identical ballast is used. The phenomena of mud pumping especially, which occurs when drainage is not properly secured for heavy rain, leads to the increase of maintenance work load and the decline of ride comfort. The ballast thickness range in domestic railroad construction rule is uniformly set up according to the design speed of railroad and passing tonnage of train without considering field conditions which is considered in foreign railroad companies. The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of vibration decrease by measuring the acceleration, displacement and ride comfort of ballasted track with the change of ballast thickness on the ballast tracked bridges and to suggest the optimal height of ballast on the Yocheon Bridge built for the test in Honam Line.

In railway construction, superimposition of horizontal and vertical curves has critical effects on the running stability and the ride comfort of vehicles as well as on construction costs. In this study, running safety, ride comfort, and track acting forces were analyzed by a numerical analysis using the VAMPIRE program according to cases of superimposition of vertical and horizontal curves. From the analysis results, it was found that running safety, riding comfort, and track acting forces in the case of superimposition of vertical and horizontal curves as well as vertical and transition curves meet all of the criteria. Also, in the case of the superimposition of vertical curves and curvature change between horizontal transition curves and circular curves meet all of the criteria.

최근 자동차기술의 발달로 인한 차량의 경량화, 고급화 추세는 더욱 개선된 승차감을 요구하고 있다. 승차감에 영향을 미치는 주요인으로서는 엔진의 진동과 소음, 변속장치, 구동축 등의 구동 계통의 진동 및 소음, 그리고 노면으로부터의 진동, 외부 공기의 흐름에 의한 소음 등 여러가지가 있다. 엔진지지계는 이중 엔진의 진동 및 소음을 절연하는 기능을 맡고 있고 동시에 엔진하중의 지지, 변위제한, 충격흡수 등의 기능도 가지고 있다. 실제에 있어서 엔진지지계는 진동 및 소음 절연의 기능 외에 다른 기능도 갖고 있으나 이중 가장 어렵고 해석이 곤란한 것은 결국 진동절 연성능이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 여러 가지 제약조건이 있으므로 최적의 진동절연특성의 실 현이 항상 가능한 것은 아니고 방진고무의 특성치난 지지각도 등의 어느 범위안에서만 선택이 가능하므로 실제 설계에 있어서는 적용상의 특정조건을 만족시키는 초기설계치를 정하여 그때의 진동절연특성을 평가하고 기준이하일때는 설계치를 재조정하여 다시 평가하는 접근방식이 실질 적이다. 따라서 이 설계과정에 필요한 엔진지지계의 진동절연특성해석 및 평가용 컴퓨터 프로 그램을 개발하였으며 그 해석치와 실험결과를 비교하여 타당성을 입증하였다.

장경간 케이블 교량은 과도한 변위 발생 등의 이유로 엄격한 안전성 및 사용성이 요구되는 철도교량에서는 제한적으로 적용되고 있다. 즉, 철도교량으로서 요구되는 주행안전성과 승차감을 만족하기 위해서는 면밀한 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 교량/열차 상호작용 해석을 수행하여 열차에서의 응답을 통해 교량 상을 주행하는 열차의 주행안전성 및 승차감을 직접적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 즉, 중앙경간 300m의 현수교를 주행하는 KTX 열차에 대하여 열차 내부의 가속도와 윤중감소율을 구해 평가하는 방법을 취하였다. 또한, 이동 열차하중과 지진하중이 동시에 작용할 경우를 고려한 교량/열차/지진 상호작용해석을 수행하여 지진 시의 응답을 평가하였다.

In this study, to improve the ride and handling characteristics of the vehicle whose hard points have been already fixed, a tuning method of load spring, damper and stabilizer bar is described. For the suspension system of vehicle, optimized design is necessary to satisfy the incompatible two dynamic characteristics which are the ride isolation property between unsprung mass and sprung mass to reduce the excitation from the road and the accurate correring response property to specific steering inputs. To accomplish above aims, we may approach by experimental method, but it requires to sacrifice much time and cost. This paper, therefore, provides a process of suspension development to improve the ride and handling properties by using computer simulation with saving time and cost, and as results, comparaes the dynamic characteristics of the tuned vehicle with the base vehicle not tuned.

In this study, damping control devices were applied to the suspension system of a capsule train, and the effects were investigated to improve the ride comfort. The superconductor electrodynamic suspension (SC-EDS) method is used for the capsule train levitation. This method has advantages such as no gap control and a large gap. However, the SC-EDS method has disadvantages such as large gap variation and small damping characteristics against outer vibration, which causes degradation of the ride comfort. In this study, the damping control devices in the primary and secondary suspension were considered to improve the ride comfort in the capsule train. Damping control devices in the primary and secondary suspension can reduce the vibration transmission from outer disturbances to the bogie and from the bogie to the car body, respectively. Simulations for dynamic characteristics analyses were conducted based on the capsule train dynamic model to investigate the effects of the damping control devices on the ride comfort. As a result, it was confirmed that the ride comfort requirements according to the ISO standard can be satisfied by applying the damping control in the capsule train suspension.

Elevator velocity pattern is basL'C! on combining the time-based velocity pattern according to which the car m trip from starting position to vicinity of target position, and distance-based velocity pattern for precise landing ( of car. To obtain the lide comfortability, the impact caused by velocity pattern switching should be minimizLD b by removing the discontinuity of velocity and acceleration. In this paper, new velocity pattern generation m method which ensure the continuity of velocity and acceleration during pattern switching is proposed. P ProPOSLD velocity pattern also shorten the landing time to the target position.

Wheel reprofiling is frequently conducted to remove faults such as flange wear, flat areas, and cracks that occur in railway vehicle operation. We analyzed the dynamic performances of a vehicle before and after wheel reprofiling to grasp the influence of reprofiling on the dynamic behavior of the vehicle. We measured the wheel profile of the test vehicle and conducted a running test to analyze the vibration and comfort characteristics of the test vehicle. The result of the test indicated that vibration of the test vehicle after wheel reprofiling was reduced compared to that before wheel reprofiling. And, comfort level of the test vehicle after wheel reprofiling was improved by about 3dB laterally and vertically. Consequently, the positive effect of wheel reprofiling on the dynamic performance of vehicle was verified.

최근 철도는 미래의 핵심교통수단이자 저탄소 녹색성장을 대표하는 교통수단으로 주목받고 있다. 그 중 자기부상열차는 바퀴 마찰에 따른 소음 진동 분진이 없는 차세대 교통수단이며, 이를 지지하는 구조물(교량)은 열차의 운행 안정성(동적거동)을 고려한 설계가 필요하다. 또한, 상부 구조물은 자기부상열차의 연행이동등분포하중을 지지하며, 이러한 하중조건을 갖는 차량이 운행할 때 상부 구조물은 설계기준사항들을 만족해야한다. 도시형 자기부상철도 토목구조물 설계기준에 의하면 도시형 자기부상철도의 운행 안정성(동적거동)을 평가하기 위한 항목들로 대상 구조물의 고유진동수, 승차감을 고려한 연직처짐 등이 요구된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 자기부상열차의 실 열차하중을 고려하여 연행이동등분포하중으로 철도교량의 동적거동을 검토하였으며, 설계기준을 적용하여 대상 철도 교량의 운행 안정성을 평가하였다.
