Ride comfort is an important factor for the development of a high-speed train. The aerodynamic force to a high speed train inside tunnels increases the car-body vibration and makes its ride comfort worse. In this study, the aerodynamic force is estimated through a CFD analysis using ADINA, and its car-body vibration and ride comfort are calculated for the aerodynamic force which acts on the side of the train. The numerical results show that the vibration is a lateral mode of the car-body and decreases the ride comfort. On the basis of this numerical simulation, more accurate simulation is necessary for the shape of tunnel and the lateral suspension system of a high speed train.

This work evaluates the influence of negative stiffness on the performances of various vehicle suspension systems, and proposes a re-centering negative stiffness device (NSD). The re-centering NSD consists of a passive magnetic negative stiffness spring and a positioning shaft with a re-centering function. The former produces negative stiffness control forces, and the latter prevents the amplification of static spring deflection. The numerical simulations reveal that negative stiffness can improve the ride comfort of a vehicle without affecting its road holding abilities for either passive or semi-active suspension systems. In general, the improvement degree of ride comfort increases as negative stiffness increases. For passive suspension system, negative stiffness brings in negative stiffness feature in the control forces, which is helpful for the ride comfort of a vehicle. For semi-active suspensions, negative stiffness can alleviate the impact of clipped damping in semi-active dampers, and thus the ride comfort of a vehicle can be improved.

In most researches on the ride comfort analysis of passenger vehicles, the flexibility of the vehicle body has been not considered as an important factor, because the resonance frequencies of the vehicle body related to pitching, yawing and rolling motions are below 10Hz while the resonance frequencies of the vehicle body related to the flexibility are above 20Hz approximately. Nevertheless, the paper shows that the consideration of the local flexibility (or local stiffness) of the 4 corners on which shock absorbers are mounted influences the ride comfort. A simple beam model is devised to qualitatively examine the effect of the change of the local stiffness of the vehicle body on the ride comfort. Based on the results obtained from the analysis of the one-dimensional model, multi-body dynamic analysis considering the flexibility of the vehicle body is performed using ADAMS and MSC/NASTRAN. Natural frequencies and mode shapes computed by MSC/NASTRAN are used as input data for multi-body dynamic analysis in ADAMS. Through simulations using ADAMS, it has been found that the ride comfort can be improved by changing the local stiffness of the vehicle body and that the simulation results agree with experiment results.

철도에서 평면곡선과 종곡선의 경합은 승차감 및 열차의 주행안전성을 저해시키는 원인이 되며, 유지보수비용에도 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러나 철도노선 계획 시 지형조건 및 예기치 않은 환경적 요인에 의해 선형경합이 필요하게 될 경우가 발생된다. 본 연구에서는 종곡선과 평면곡선의 경합이 곡선부에서의 승차감 및 평면곡선의 최적선형조건에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 평면곡선과 종곡선이 경합하였을 경우와 경합하지 않고 평면선형만 있을 경우에 대한 최적캔트량 및 승차감을 비교분석 하였으며, 고속영역에서 선형 경합이 곡선선형조건과 승차감에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 그 결과 경합한 경우라도 보정캔트를 부설한다면 승차감 측면에서 평면선형만 부설한 경우와 유사한 조건이 될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The ride comfort is more important according to train speedup. Generally it is defined as the vehicle vibration. There are many studies on evaluation method of ride comfort for railway. But the ride comfort for Korean high speed train(HSR 350x) has been assessed by statistical method according to UIC 513R. In this paper, the ride indices, which are measured in the Korean high speed train, have been analyzed and reviewed by appling the statistical methodology such as t-test, variance analysis(ANOVA) and regression analysis.

The ride comfort is one of the important dynamic performances of railway vehicle and is affected by the various factors, such as vibration, sound, temperature, humidity, etc. In general, vibration is known to be a major effect of rode comfort. There are many studies on the evaluation methods of ride comfort in the railway vehicle vibration. Each of the evaluation methods suggested by Spelling and in the standards recommends a different evaluation method and guidance. So users must review whether they can apply it to their railway system or not. In this study, we have suggested the relationship between several evaluation methods using the statistical vibration model based on the experimental data.

Recently, the ride comfort problem becomes increasingly important because of today's needs for train speedup. The railway has the track irregularities which cause vibrations, such as rail joints, turnout, level crossing, transition corves and super-elevation ramps, and variations in the track level(z-axis) and the gauge(y-axis). In Korea, the service run of the high speed train has been made since the 1st of April, 2004. The commercial high-speed trains must be run on the compound lines which are composed of high-speed line and conventional line. The high speed lines in both Kyoungbu line and Honam line have 57.5％ and 33.8％, respectively In this Paper, the ride comfort has been reviewed by the various experimental methods when the high-speed trains are operated on both Kyoungbu line and Honam line. The results show that the high-speed train has no problems from the viewpoint of the comfort ride during the operation on the high speed line and conventional line.

In this paper, we found that modification of the local flexibility (or local stiffness) of the 4 parts on which shock absorbers are mounted in the vehicle body has some influence the level of ride safety and comfort. Multi-body dynamic analysis considering the flexibility of the vehicle body is performed using MSC/ADAMS and MSC/NASTRAN. More concretely speaking, natural frequencies and mode shapes computed by MSC/NASTRAN are used as input data for multi-body dynamic analysis in MSC/ADAMS. It is confirmed that the ride comfort can be improved by appropriately changing the local stiffness of the vehicle body through several simulations using MSC/ADAMS.

This paper presents ride comfort characteristics of a quarter-vehicle magneto-rheological (MR) suspension system with respect to different tire pressure. As a first step, controllable MR damper is designed and modeled based on both the optimized damping force levels and mechanical dimensions required for a commercial full-size passenger vehicle. Then, a quarter-vehicle suspension system consisting of sprung mass, spring, tire and the MR damper is constructed. After deriving the equations of the motion for the proposed quarter-vehicle MR suspension system, vertical tire stiffness with respect to different tire pressure is experimentally identified. The skyhook controller is then implemented for the realization of the quarter-vehicle MR suspension system. Finally, the ride comfort analysis with respect to different tire pressure is undertaken in time domain. In addition, a comparative result between controlled and uncontrolled is provided by presenting vertical RMS displacement.

궤도틀림은 철도차량의 주행거동에 영향을 미치는 중요인자 중 하나이다. 따라서, 적정한 승차감 및 주행안전성 확보를 위해서는 궤도틀림과 차량거동과의 상관관계를 규명하고 적정한 궤도틀림 관리방안을 마련하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 궤도틀림 중 경부고속선에서 궤도정정작업 중에서 가장 많은 보수 비중을 차지하고 있는 고저틀림과 KTX 주행거동과의 상관관계를 조사하고자 고저틀림의 파장과 진폭을 매개변수로 차량주행해석을 수행하였다. 탈선계수, 횡압, 대차 횡가속도, 차체 연직 및 횡가속도 등의 KTX 차량거동에 대한 수치해석 결과분석을 통하여 고저틀림의 진폭 및 파장이 KTX 차량의 주행거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.
