The movable bracket structure, which is an apparatus for supplying electric power to a running electric locomotive, is applied by a repeated load during the passage of the electric locomotive. Such a repeated load becomes an excitation source that causes screws constituting the movable bracket structure to be loosened. This study was conducted on the causes and countermeasures of the bolt loosening caused by the repeated vibration using a computer simulation. As the result, a simulation model was constructed to enable the dynamic analysis of the movable bracket structure. It could be found that the principal excitation frequency range for the bolt loosening of the movable bracket structure was less than 200 Hz. In addition, the bolts are prevented from being loosened by increasing stiffness of H beams. The vibration mode of a lower band bracket is found to be triggered in a frequency range between 300 and 600 Hz. And the increase in stiffness of the lower band bracket exhibits the effect to avoid the bolt loosening at a frequency range of 200 Hz or more.

In the Airport Railroad, the Yeongjong Bridge has a length of 4,420 m and connects Yeongjong Island with the mainland of Incheon City. The bridge is a two-level structure, consisting of a six-lane road at the upper level and a combination of a road and railroad at the lower level. The environmental conditions for the electric railway come mainly from the salt injury area and a heavy industry zone, and the maintenance cycles are determined differently depending on these conditions. This study analyzed the deterioration characteristics of long rod insulators produced with a movable ceramic bracket and polymer materials in the Yeongjong Bridge section of the Airport Railway operating in the salt injury area according to the material characteristics. Comparison of the corona measurements when the insulators were cleaned at the same time showed that the polymer insulator had a higher insulation performance than the ceramic insulator.
