The importance of maintenance of rail surface defects is increasing according to the KTX operation. That is because during high speed operation of rolling stocks, rail surface defects shorten fatigue life of rail, accelerate track degradation and deteriorate ride comfort. Rail grinding has been applied for effective rail maintenance in Kyeong-Bu HS line. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of rail grinding in term of rail fatigue life. To this end, the stresses of the ground rail are measured under KTX running and the equivalent stress range is calculated by RMC after the frequency analysis done with Rainflow counting method. Also, Pamglen-Miner rule is applied to predict the fatigue life of ground rail. The result of the analysis shows that the fatigue life of ground rail is increased by 15%.

고속철도 운행에 따라 레일표면결함에 대한 관리의 중요성이 점점 더 증대되고 있다. 차량의 고속주행시 레일표면결함은 레일의 피로수명 단축 및 궤도의 열화 촉진, 승차감 저하를 유발하기 때문이다. 현재 경부고속철도에서는 레일의 효율적 유지보수를 위하여 레일연마를 수행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 레일연마에 따른 레일의 피로수명을 예측하였다. 이를 위해서 연마 후 KTX 운행시 레일 저부의 휨응력을 계측하였으며, Rain-flow counting 기법을 적용하여 빈도해석을 실시하여 RCM에 의해 등가응력범위를 산정하였다. 선형누적피로피해를 이용한 피로수명 평가방법은 수정 Miner 법칙에 기초하였다. 해석결과 연마에 따른 레일의 피로수명이 15% 증가되는 것으로 나타났다.

For the purpose of the effective maintenance of surface irregularities of rail, this paper investigates the rail service life to a bending fatigue failure of welding parts of rail on the slab track by the structures laboratory testing to derive S-N curves, a GTDAP(General Track Dynamic Analysis Program) to calculate the stresses and a modified Miner's rule to predict a fatigue life. The useful guides for maintenance of rail welded parts on the slab track are proposed in terms of a grinding period and the depth of rail surface irregularities. This study also proposed the guides for maintenance of rail welded part on the ballast track. The effects of fatigue service lives are compared one another.

The next generation of diesel engine can operate at high injection pressure up to 1,800bar. The common rail pipe must have higher internal strength because it is directly influenced by the high-pressure fuel. Folding defects in the Common rail pipe can not ensure the structural safety. Therefore, Preform design and fatigue-life analysis are very important for preventing the head of the common rail pipe from folding in the heading process and for predicting fatigue life according to the amount of folding. In this study, a closed form equation to predict fatigue life was suggested by Goodman theory and pressure vessels theory in ASME Code in order to develop an optimization technique of the heading process and verified its reliability through fatigue-structural coupled field analysis. The results calculated by the theory were in good agreement with those obtained by the finite element analysis.

This paper presents a fatigue reliability model for the reliability-based evaluation of remaining fatigue life of existing rail-road bridges. It is demonstrated that the simple fatigue reliability model based on the Weibull distribution of fatigue life can be extended by incorporating various effects due to the rate of the train-traffic increase and in-service Inspections. The paper also suggests the system fatigue reliability analysis using an approximate formulation and 2nd-order bound solutions. The application of the proposed model to existing rail-road brdiges based on field load tests shows that it may be practically used for the assessment of fatigue reliability, remaining life, and in-service inspection scheduling of existing rail-road bridges.

The control of rail surface irregularity is very important for the high speed train service in the high speed rail. In order to manage it, initial, preventative, and maintainable rail grinding have been performed and among them, preventative rail grinding conducts in every each year. This study carried out the field test for dynamic track response according to rail surface irregularity comparing before and after rail grinding. In addition, the change of dynamic track responses according to rail grinding was analyzed and the fatigue life was estimated though Rainflow Counting Method and RMC Equivalence Stress. Therefore, it suggested that rail fatigue life should be increased by rail grinding, because amount of impact occurred on track is decreased by getting rid of rail surface irregularity.

The fatigue failure of rail is a principal source of derailment accidents. The reduction of fatigue failures can be achieved by Intensive track maintenance and periodic safety assessments for the railway. For the safety assessments, it is required to have more accurate knowledge for fatigue behavior such as the crack initiation, propagation, crack growth rate and the remaining service life in rail. In this paper, the mean stress effects for the fatigue behavior of rail steel are studied. For this study, the fatigue test is conducted and some equations for fatigue evaluation are applied and compared. From the results, we can see that the fatigue crack growth rate is the more increased as the men stress Is the more increased, the mean stress effect is represented well by the combination of stress intensity factor range and maximum stress intensity factor and Crooker and Range's equation represented by ${\Delta}K, K_{max}$ is the best fit for fatigue evaluation and safety assessment of rail.

본 연구의 목적은 궤도형식별로 사용레일의 피로수명을 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위해 궤도형식별 사용레일에 대한 실내피로시험을 수행하여 파괴확률 50%~0.01% 의 S-N 선도를 도출하고, 실험데이터에 대한 가중치 확률해석기법을 사용하여 피로수명을 산출하였다. 여기서, 레일표면요철 및 열차속도를 고려한 사용레일의 휨응력은 기존 연구결과 도출된 레일휨응력 예측식을 이용하여 구하고, S-N 선도로부터 사용레일의 잔존수명을 평가하였다. 평가결과, 자갈도상의 경우 레일의 피로수명이 현 레일교환기준에 비해 약 2억톤 이상 높았고, 콘크리트도상의 레일 피로수명이 자갈궤도에 비해 약 3억톤 이상 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 누적통과톤수에 의한 레일교환기준을 자갈궤도와 콘크리트궤도로 구분할 필요가 있으며, 레일연마를 통한 레일관리가 이루어진다면 기준값이 아닌 목표값으로 관리할 필요가 있다.

장대레일 교체주기는 자갈궤도 레일두부 표면요철과 레일 휨피로의 상관관계 분석을 통해 산정되었다. 본 연구에서는 실물 레일 휨 피로시험을 통한 레일의 S-N선도, 국내 도시철도(서울메트로) 콘크리트궤도에서 발생하는 레일 휨응력 예측식, Haibach's rule을 통해 콘크리트궤도 장대레일의 휨 피로수명을 평가하였다. 여기서, 레일용접방법별 S-N선도와 레일표면요철, 열차운행속도가 고려되었다. 또한, S-N선도 파괴확률 1%, 0.1%, 0.01%를 고려한 휨 피로수명을 비교하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 콘크리트궤도 장대레일의 휨 피로수명을 제안하였다.
