Chevron rubber springs are used in primary suspensions for rail vehicle. Chevron rubber spring have function which reduce vibration and noise, support load carried in operation of rail vehicle. Prediction and evaluation of characteristics are very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability of the rubber spring. The computer simulation using the nonlinear finite element analysis program executed to predict and evaluate the load capacity and stiffness for the chevron spring. The non-linear properties of rubber which are described as strain energy functions are important parameters. These are determined by material tests which are uniaxial tension, equi-biaxial tension and shear test. The appropriate shape and material properties are proposed to adjust the required characteristics of rubber springs in the three modes of flexibility.

Dielectrophoretic behavior of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNT) was investigated theoretically and experimentally. The surface conductance of nanotubes was modulated using anionic and cationic surfactant mixtures. The experimental results indicate that dielectrophoretic behavior of SWNT highly depends on the procedure of mixing two opposite-charged surfactants. Clausius-Mossotti factor was calculated by measuring zeta potentials and solution conductivity. Raman spectroscopy was used to characterize the dielectrophoretically deposited nanotubes arrary. We found that metallic nanotubes were selectively separated from the nanotubes suspension, resulting from modulation of surface conductance of semiconducting SWNT.

Rubber components are widely used in many application such as vibration isolators, damping, ride quality. Rubber spring is used in primary suspension system for railway vehicle. Characteristics and useful life prediction of rubber spring was very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability. Non-linear properties of rubber material which are described as strain energy function are important parameter to design and evaluate of rubber spring. These are determined by physical tests which are uniaxial tension, equi-biaxial tension and pure shear test. The computer simulation was executed to predict and evaluate the load capacity and stiffness for rubber spring. In order to investigate the useful life, the acceleration test were carried out. Acceleration test results changes as the threshold are used for assessment of the useful life and time to threshold value were plotted against reciprocal of absolute temperature to give the Arrhenius plot. By using the acceleration test, several useful life prediction for rubber spring were proposed.

A leaf spring plays an important role in a passenger bus. Since characteristic of a leaf spring has a hysteresis behaviour, modeling technique for a leaf spring is an important issue for passenger bus analysis. In this paper, modeling technique for a leaf spring is presented. First, non-linear FEM model of a leaf spring is constructed then it is used to make an approximated model to be used in dynamic analysis. The modeling procedure is ex-plained in step by step approach. Then, this model is applied to dynamic analysis of a mini-bus with flexible body and non-linear dynamic force element. The results are compared with test data.

The study presents the earthquake performance of the Bosphorus Bridge under multi-point earthquake excitation considering the spatially varying site-specific earthquake motions. The elaborate FE model of the bridge is firstly established depending on the new considerations of the used FEM software specifications, such as cable-sag effect, rigid link and gap elements. The modal analysis showed that singular modes of the deck and the tower were relatively effective in the dynamic behavior of the bridge due to higher total mass participation mass ratio of 80%. The parameters and requirements to be considered in simulation process are determined to generate the spatially varying site-specific ground motions. Total number of twelve simulated ground motions are defined for the multi-support earthquake analysis (Mp-sup). In order to easily implement multi-point earthquake excitation to the bridge, the practice-oriented procedure is summarized. The results demonstrated that the Mp-sup led to high increase in sectional forces of the critical components of the bridge, especially tower base section and tensile force of the main and back stay cables. A close relationship between the dynamic response and the behavior of the bridge under the Mp-sup was also obtained. Consequently, the outcomes from this study underscored the importance of the utilization of the multi-point earthquake analysis and the necessity of considering specifically generated earthquake motions for suspension bridges.

$TiO_2-catalyst$ suspensions work efficiently in Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) for wastewater treatment. Nevertheless, once photocatalysis is completed, separation of the catalyst from solution becomes the main problem. The PCO of Cu(II)-EDTA was studied to determine the reusability of the titanium dioxide catalyst. Aqueous solutions of $10^{-4}M$ Cu(II)-EDTA were treated using illuminated $TiO_2$ particles at pH 6 in a circulating reactor. $TiO_2$ was reused in PCO system for treatment of Cu(II)-EDTA comparing two procedures: reuse of water and $TiO_2$ and reuse of the entire suspension after PCO of Cu(II)-EDTA. The results are as follows; (i) Photocatalytic efficiency worsens with successive runs when catalyst and water are reused without separation and filtration, whereas, when $TiO_2$ is separated from water, the reused $TiO_2$ is not deactivated. (ii) The $TiO_2$ mean recovery (%) with reused $TiO_2$ was 86.4%(1.73g/L). Although the mean initial degradation rate of Cu(II)-EDTA and Cu(II) was lower than that using fresh $TiO_2$, there was no significant change in the rate during the course of the three-trial experiment. It is suggested that Cu(II)-EDTA could be effectively treated using an recycling procedure of PCO and catalyst recovery. (iii) However, without $TiO_2$ separation, the loss of efficiency of the PCO in the use of water and $TiO_2$ due to Cu(II), DOC remained from previous degradation and Cu(II)-EDTA added to the same suspension was observed after 2 trials, and resulted in the inhibition of the Cu(II)-EDTA, Cu(II) and DOC destruction.

본 논문에서는 미분게임 이론과 다수준 계획법을 이용하여 차량 전복 방지 제어기를 설계하는 방법을 제안한다. 차량 전복 방지 문제는 비협조적 제로섬 2 인 미분게임으로 정식화된다. 미분게임의 균형해로 얻어지는 제어기는 모든 가능한 조향 입력에 대해 최악의 성능을 보장한다. 적은 계산량으로 미분 게임의 균형해를 찾기 위해 완화 과정을 가지는 다수준 계획법을 이용한다. 차량의 롤 운동을 억제하기 위해 능동 현가장치를 사용하면 차량의 횡방향 안정성이 상실되므로 이를 방지하기 위해 자세제어장치(ESP)를 이용한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방법이 미분게임의 균형해를 찾는데 효과적임을 보이고 설계된 제어기가 차량의 전복을 방지함을 보인다.

Korean High Speed Train(KHST) has been tested on the high speed test line in Osung site of Korea High Speed Rail Construction Authority (KHRC). since it was developed as G7 Project Plan In 2002. This paper introduces the dynamic test devices in KHST and shows the comparison between the results of test and theoretical computing results which derive from the new model for KHST dynamic behavior. Previous computer simulation model for KHST was developed to review wether the vehicle system was satisfied with the dynamic performance requirements during the design procedure. But It should be applied the results of the parts test for suspension elements in order to compare between the results of computation and real test. Using VAMPIRE Program made by AEA Technology in UK. the new model also was modified. This paper shows that the static wheel loads calculated from new model is similar to test results. For test on high speed line, we prepared the test devices for evaluating the dynamic performances. which was consisted of the accelerometers( based on Kisler Co.) and the data aquisition systems (based on National instrument Co.), and test program coded by LabView 6i program. These lest devices and programs are flexible to extension the channels for adding sensors and connect to the ethernet network. The acceleration of car bodies, bogie frames and axle boxes were compared between the results of computation and test at 150km/. This paper shows that the results of test were high in high frequency band range but similar frequency band range. It might be considered that these differences were caused by the test which did not performed at constant speed for comparison analysis. Also. It will be able to understand the differences and make better results through a lot of tests planed in future.

교량을 주행하는 열차의 주행안전성과 승차감의 확보를 위해 Eurocode, 신간선 기준, 호남고속철도 설계지침 등에서는 교량의 연직변위, 연직가속도, 면틀림 등의 항목으로 제한하고 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 제한 기준은 교량 설계자의 편의를 위한 간접적인 방법이다. 또한 이와 같은 기준은 일반적인 경간(Eurocode의 경우 120m 이하)에 대한 제한 기준으로서, 이 이상의 장경간 교량의 경우에는 교량/열차 상호작용 해석 등에 의한 면밀한 검토를 제안하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 교량/열차 상호작용 해석을 수행하여 열차에서의 응답을 통해 교량 상을 주행하는 열차의 주행안전성 및 승차감을 직접적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 즉, 중앙경간 300m의 현수교를 주행하는 KTX 열차에 대하여 열차 내부의 가속도와 윤중감소율을 구해 평가하는 방법을 취하였다. 또한, 이동 열차하중과 지진하중이 동시에 작용할 경우를 고려한 교량/열차/지진 상호작용해석을 수행하여 지진 시의 응답을 평가하였다.

세월호 사고 이후 내항선 분야의 해사안전관리를 강화하기 위하여 해사안전감독관 제도가 도입되었다. 이들은 선박에 대한 정기 및 수시 지도·감독 중 선박의 시설 분야에서 중대한 결함사항이 발견되면 시정이 완료될 때 까지 선박의 항행을 정지하는 행정처분을 하고 있다. 항행정지명령은 내항선박에 대하여 해사안전감독관이 행사하는 강장 강력한 규제행위의 일종이다. 선박의 안전과 해양환경보호를 위한 해사안전감독관에 의한 내항선박의 지도·감독의 중요성은 아무리 강조해도 지나치지 않을 것이다. 그러나 각 지방해양수산청의 선박에 대한 규제의 정도는 이를 집행하는 사람에 따라 다소의 개인차가 있을 수 있으며, 집행과정에서 개인의 고의 또는 과실이 발생할 수가 있다. 지방해양수산청에 의한 선박의 억류는 선박운항 상의 지체를 가져오기 쉽고, 용선계약의 정지에 의하여 선박의 소유자는 많은 경제적 손실을 입을 수 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 해사안전법에서는 해사안전감독관에 의한 항행정지명령의 행정처분에 대하여 이의신청과 같은 불복절차를 규정하지 않고 있다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 지도·감독의 근거가 되는 해사안전법 상에 개인의 고의 또는 과실에 의한 부당한 항행정지 행정처분에 대하여 이의신청을 통한 권리의 구제가 가능하도록 제도를 개선해야 한다.
