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.

Rail breaks and derailments can cause a huge loss to rail players due to loss of service, revenue, property or even life. Maintenance has huge impact on reliability and safety of railroads. It is important to identify factors behind rail degradation and their risks associated with rail breaks and derailments. Development of mathematical models is essential for prediction and prevention of risks due to rail and wheel set damages, rail breaks and derailments. This paper addresses identification of hazard modes, estimation of probability of those hazards under operating, curve and environmental condition, probability of detection of potential hazards before happening and severity of those hazards for informed strategic decisions. Emphasis is put on optimal maintenance and operational decisions. Real life data is used for illustration.

In this paper, a theoretical formulation of a simplified wheel-set model for collision-induced derailments was evaluated by numerical simulations for the wheel-climb derailment and wheel-lift derailment types. The derailment types were classified into the wheel-climb derailment and the wheel-lift derailment according to the friction force direction of the wheel-flange. The wheel-climb derailment type was classified into Climb-up, Climb/Roll-over, and Roll-over-C, and wheel-lift derailment type was classified into Slip-up, Slip/Roll-over and Roll-over-L. To verify the theoretical equations derived for the wheel-climb derailment and the wheel-lift derailment, dynamic simulations using RecurDyn of Functionbay and Ls-Dyna of LSTC were performed and compared for some examples. The derailment predictions of the suggested theoretical formulation were in good agreement with those of the numerical simulations. The direction of the frictional force between the wheel-flange and the rail can be well predicted using the suggested derailment formulation at a initial derailment.

본 논문에서는 열차 충돌로 발생되는 충격으로 차축에 큰 수직하중 및 수평하중이 부과될 때 플랜지가 레일을 타고 오르는 탈선현상을 예측할 수 있는 단일 윤축의 이론적 탈선 모델을 연구하였다. 철도차량 충돌 시 크게 타고오름(wheel-climbing), 들려오름(lift-up), 전복(roll-over) 등과 이들의 복합유형탈선이 발생할 수 있다. 타고오름 및 복합 유형의 탈선은 세 가지(Climb-over, Climb/roll-over, Roll-over)로 정의할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 충돌 후 탈선거동을 예측하기 위하여 타고오름 및 복합 유형 탈선에 대한 단일윤축 이론모델을 제안하고, 정의한 세 가지 탈선거동이 발생하기 위한 조건을 제시하였다. 타고오름 및 복합 유형의 탈선거동을 예측하기 위하여 제안된 단일윤축 이론모델의 타당성을 단순플랜지 형상 윤축모델을 사용한 동역학 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하고, 타당성을 보인다.

Indian railways has been regularly in the news albeit for the wrong reasons. The frequency with which train accidents have been taking place has led to serious doubts in the public mind about the safety of rail travel and also the health of the network. Against this background, an attempt is made in this paper to assess the trends in railway accidents for the period from 2000-01 to 2009-10. The paper also highlighted the various measures taken by IR to prevent accidents to ensure safety to the public.

Derailment is likely to have a direct connection with human life and must be eliminated. A traveling safety evaluation method based mainly on derailment coefficient has already established. But this method is very difficult because Derailment is caused by multiple factors. To evaluate the derailment factor of running train that runs on the curved track, we make use of mechanism that wheel loads and lateral forces were affected by track and rolling stock parameter. In this paper, deal with a search on the parameter and derailment factor. According to results of computer simulation value of Q/P, running safety is connected with operation velocity, curve radius, cant, track irregularity, suspension stiffness and static wheel load ratio, SMRT train Line No. 5 Bogie is selected to do numerical study considering rolling stock and track condition.

레일강에 있어서 피로균열은 레일의 파괴와 그에 따른 열차탈선의 근본적인 요인으로서 실험실시험의 분석 결과에 의한 피로거동 및 파괴특성의 정량적 평가는 피로수명 추정 및 안전조사 주기설정의 기본이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 살피충격시험의 결과로부터 레일강의 샬피거동 및 파괴인성거동을 평가하고 일정진폭하중하에서 피로시험의 분석 결과로부터 피로균열성장거동에 미치는 균열의 방향성, 온도, 그리고 응력비 R의 효과를 파괴역학적 수법을 도입하여 평가하였다.

In these days, many kinds of tank car such as Oil tank car, Asphalt tank car, Sulfuric Acid tank car and Propylene tank car are used for carrying hazardous materials. Although they have a lot of dangerous possibilities when they meet with accidents examples of collisions and derailments there are not prescribed methods or standards for structural analysis using FEM. In this study, the structural stress analysis for an Asphalt tank car(Non-pressurized tank) and a Propylene tank car(Pressurized tank) was performed using the FEM refer to the test method in JIS E 7102(Design Methods for Tanks of Tank Cars). And then we suggested the tank car analysis procedures and considered the results.

Ballast layer has an important role in vertical stiffness and stability of railway track. In most of the Middle East countries and some of the Asian ones, significant parts of railway lines pass through desert areas where the track (particularly ballast layer) is contaminated with sands. Despite considerable number of derailments reported in the sand contaminated tracks, there is a lack of sufficient studies on the influences of sand contamination on the ballast vertical stiffness as the main indicator of track stability. Addressing this limitation, the effects of sand contamination on the mechanical behavior of ballast were experimentally investigated. For this purpose, laboratory tests (plate load test) on ballast samples with different levels of sand contamination were carried out. The results obtained were analyzed leading to derive mathematical expressions for the strain modulus ($E_V$) as a function of the ballast level of contamination. The $E_V$ was used as an index for evaluation of the load-deformation characteristics and bearing capacity of track substructure. The critical limit of sand contamination, after which the $E_V$ of the ballast reduces drastically, was obtained. It was shown that the obtained research results improve the current track maintenance approach by providing key guides for the optimization of ballast maintenance planning (the timing of ballast cleaning or renewal).
