Squeal noise is a harsh, high-pitched sound that occurs when railways are running at sharp curve tracks. The cause of squeal noise is known to be the transient lateral traction force between wheel and rail. Field measurements are too difficult to control the parameters. Thus, the scaled test rig should have been made in order to investigate the generating mechanism of squeal noise. The unique feature of our test rig, HSTR(Hongik Squeal Testing Rig), is that DOFs of its wheelset are as close to as those of the real railway. The attack angle and running speed of the rail roller are controlled in real time for simulating a transient characteristic of driving curve. The environment conditions, such as given axle load, running speed, and wheel's yaw angle have been identified for generating squeal noise and the squeal noise itself has been measured. The relation between wheel creepage and creep force in lateral direction and the criteria for squeal noise have been investigated, which results has been verified by finite element method.

The dynamic stability of railway vehicle has been one of the important issues in railway safety. The dynamic simulator has been used in the study about the dynamic stability of railway vehicle and wheel/rail interface. Especially, a small scale simulator has been widely used in the fundamental study in the laboratory instead of full scale roller rig which is not cost effective and inconvenient to achieve diverse design parameters. But the technique for the design of the small scale simulator for the fundamental study about the dynamic characteristics of the wheel-rail system and the bogie system has not been well developed in Korea. Therefore, the research about the development of the small scale simulator and the bogie has been conducted. This paper presents the design of the small-scaled derailment simulator and the example design case of a small scale bogie. The simulator could be used in the study about the effect of diverse parameters such as attack angle, wheelbase and cant on dynamic behavior of the bogie and the safety parameter such as derailment coefficient and critical speed.

But the technique for the design of the small scale simulator for the fundamental study about the dynamic characteristics of the wheel-rail system and the bogie system has not been well developed in Korea. Therefore, the research about the development of the small scale simulator and the bogie has been conducted. As this paper, To predict the dynamic behavior of railway vehicle, we studied running stability test of 1/5 scaled bogie that similarity laws is applied using small scale derailment simulator. For the operation of the small scale derailment simulator, it is required to investigate the performance and characteristics of the system. This could be achieved by a comparative study between an analysis and an experiment. This paper presented the analytical model which could be used for verifying of the test results and understanding of the physical behavior of the dynamic system comprising the small scale bogie and the simulator.

스킬 소음은 곡선부에서 레일과 차륜 사이에 발생하는 순음의 큰 소음이다. 차륜과 레일 사이의 접촉은 점착-미끄러짐(stick-slip)현상을 보이면서 스킬 소음이 발생한다고 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 스킬 소음의 발생 메커니즘을 규명하기 위해 차륜, 레일의 주파수 관점에서의 접촉력 특성을 파악하고자 했다. 스킬 소음을 실험실 조건에서 발생시키기 위하여 축소 스킬소음 시험장치를 제작하였다. 접촉력을 구하기 위하여 레일 롤러를 지지하는 서브 프레임 진동 데이터와 응답특성을 측정하여, 접촉력을 예측하였다. 계산된 접촉력 결과를 검증하기 위해서, 레일 롤러의 접촉점 변위를 계산된 접촉력을 이용하여 계산하고 레이저 변위센서로 측정한 변위 실험결과와 비교하였다. 또한 시험장치를 유한요소로 모델링하여, 계산된 접촉력에 의한 음향 방사 해석을 수행하였고, 그 음압 결과를 반무향실 조건에서 축소 스킬소음 시험장치 운영시 발생되는 소음의 크기와 비교하였다. 변위와 음압 결과가 실험 결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다.

철도차량의 탈선은 발생 시 대형사고로 이어질 수 있어, 철도차량의 주행안전 확보 문제는 철도운영기관 및 시설기관의 주요 현안 사항이다. 현재 대차의 동적 안정성 특성 시험은 대차 주행시험대라는 시험설비를 이용하여 시험을 하고 있다. 그러나 실물을 대상으로 한 실물규모의 주행시험대상에서의 동특성 시험은 시험 준비와 관련된 시험비용 및 시험소요 시간의 증가, 다양한 시험조건 설정 측면에서 어려움이 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하고자 시험 편의성 측면에서 축소형 주행시험대를 활용하고 있으나 국내에서는 아직까지 축소대차, 축소트랙 등의 기초적인 수준의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 철도차량의 동적 거동을 예측하는 방법으로서 소형탈선시뮬레이터를 이용하여 상사기법이 적용된 1/5 축소대차의 주행안정성 시험에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 또한, 시험데이터와 해석데이터를 비교·검증하기 위하여 상용해석프로그램을 이용하여 해석모델을 구현하고, 이를 이용하여 도향상에 따른 1/5 축소대차의 동적특성을 확인하였다.

This paper deals with an experimental study on the wheel flange climbing of railway vehicles, which is a major factor leading to derailment. An experiment is carried out on a 1/5-scale model wheelset of a truck used on a standard-gauge track, which is placed on a roller rig. The lateral external force acting on the wheelset is ramped up until derailment occurs under the condition of a fixed attack angle and wheel-load unbalance ratio. Three parameters, the height of wheel lift, the lateral force, and the wheel load acting on the outer rail, are measured until derailment occurs. From these measurements, it is possible to observe the behavior of the wheelset and to elucidate how the attack angle, the wheel-load unbalance ratio and the lateral external force affect flange-climb derailment. Then, a numerical simulation is carried out using an analytical model based on a single wheelset. As a result, the flange-climb behavior observed in the experiment can be explained theoretically on the bases of the analytical results, although further improvement of the model is desired.
