This study was conducted to investigate experimentally the effect of track tension on the tractive performance of rice combine. The experiment was carried out at the two in-door soil bins with soil types of loam and sandy loam. The initial track tension was varied by three different values of 0.71, 1.75 and 3.84kN at three different forward velocity settings of 0.17, 0.32 and 0.45m/s, respectively. The data acquisition system was designed and used for the measurement of pull, driving axle torque and its velocity under the test conditions to calculate the tractive efficiency. Results of the study were summarized as follows : 1) The effect of the initial track tension on the tractive efficiency was found being significantly dependent on soil types but not on forward velocities. Therefore, the benifit of adjusting the initial track tension may be obtained when the types of soils on which combines operate are changed. 2) In loam, tractive efficiency decreased with increase in track tension. However, it increased in sandy loam until it reached to a peak value and then decreased with increase in track tension. 3) The maximum tractive efficiency of the tested combine was obtained with an initial track tension of about 1.75kN on sandy loam, and below that on loam at about 5% slippage without being noticeably influenced by the forward velocity.

We studied on performance improvement of TTM(TI21 Test Meter) that is test and diagnosis devices for jointless audio frequency track circuit on Korean electric railway TI21 standard. Upgraded devices is AD-TTM(Advanced TI21 Test Meter). This can measure alternating frequency USB(Upper signal band) and LSB(Lower signal band). In the audio frequency track circuit, ${\pm}17[Hz]$ of nominal frequency are demodulated and supplied to track relay through AND gate. It is important that measurement function which is error between USB and LSB. Need of AD-TTM will stand out in the electric railway system because this is simple and accurate rather than the former device.

Recently, the continuous welded rail(CWR) track has been used for less maintenance of the High-speed railway tracks. In case of CWR track, track buckling has always been an unpredictable event under the high compressive stress in rail. The behavior and stress state of CWR track is manily influenced by its thermal variations, and it is important to understand seasonal variations of rail temperature and stress to predict the track stability. This paper describes the in-site measurement for the rail temperature and rail stress, and the correlation between the rail temperature and stress was examined.

This paper presents the dynamic response and the vibration characteristics for a rail-track supported by discrete springs and dampers. Recently, automatic conveyer system, rail-track, rack-master system demand the soundproof facilities and vibration suppression measures in order to satisfy the strict environmental standards. The equations of motions of the dynamic characteristics for a vibration suppression rail-track under a traveling mass were derived by Galerkin's mode summation method considering gravity, centrifugal force, Coriolis force, inertia force of the moving mass, transverse inertia of the rail-track. Also, numerical results were calculated by Runge-Kutta integration method. In order to investigate vibration characteristics and dynamic responses, modal testing and measurement of the responses of the rail-track were performed. Through the experiment and numerical simulations, numerical results have a good agreement with experimental ones.

레일 파상마모는 레일표면 요철 관리기준의 부재로 인해 지속적으로 증가하는 추세에 있다. 레일파상마모는 승차감 저하와 궤도 유지관리 물량증대 등과 같은 다양한 문제점을 야기 시키고 있다. 본 논문에서는 레일 파상마모 발생구간을 대상으로 레일 연마 전, 후에 대한 레일요철 측정 및 궤도계측(동적 윤중, 변위, 가속도)을 수행하여 레일 파상마모가 궤도부담력에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 레일 파상마모 저감을 위해 실시한 레일연마는 레일 파상마모로 인해 발생되는 추가적인 궤도부담력 저감에 매우 효과적이었음을 실험적으로 입증하였다.

철도시설물 안전 확보를 위한 동하중 관리 및 철도차량 유지보수 효율화를 위한 차륜 상태진단을 위해 레일의 변형률과 진동 값을 이용하는 방법이 주로 사용된다. 동하중은 레일의 변형률과 철도차량 하중이 비례한다는 가정을 바탕으로 측정이 이루어지며 차륜 상태는 결함의 크기와 레일 접촉진동의 크기가 비례한다는 가정을 통해 진단이 이루어진다. 하지만 차량 속도, 차륜 하중, 기후, 선로 상태와 같이 레일의 변형률과 진동에 영향을 주는 환경요소를 반영하지 않으면 측정 조건에 따라 많은 편차가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 레일의 변형률과 진동에 영향을 주는 환경요소 중 선로 상태를 나타내는 주요 지표인 궤도틀림이 레일의 변형률과 진동에 미치는 영향을 동역학 시뮬레이션을 통해 살펴보고 측정 편차를 줄이기 위한 방안으로 측정지점 추가 확보에 따른 효과를 분석하였다.

In railway, Tie supports rail and plays a role that distribute train load to the ballast. Also, Tie and ballast resist against external force and fix the track position. But, weakening resistance of ballast and tie cause vertical displacement of tie and track irregularity. For reinforcement of track stiffness and reduction of track irregularity, KORAIL has developed Multi Branch type tie(GLORY Tie) that reinforced resistance than general PCT and installed in order to test in the field. This study measured and analyzed lateral resistance of ballast, wheel load of rail, bending strain of rail foot, vertical displacement and vibration acceleration of tie in order to evaluate performance of Multi Branch type tie in the field. According to the results of test, Multi Branch tie is excellent than general tie about lateral resistance of ballast and vertical displacement of tie. And, gap of measurement value between Multi Branch type tie and general tie about wheel load of rail, bending strain of rail foot were very small.

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the proposed design by the Value Engineering (VE) analysis for the gravel ballast and the concrete ballast track structures. However, reliabilities about the VE analysis results based on Life-Cycle Cost(LCC) has not been fully benefited from VE implementation due to disregard of basic principles and lack of systematic performance measurement systems. In this paper, the VE analysis using the Delphi survey of professional group is proposed to decide reasonable determinants for investment and alternative design in construction project of railway tracks. Moreover, the efficiency of VE analysis is invested by an application of the developed methodology to track structures.

The riding comfort and the durability of train are effected by the rail irregularities such as track gauge, superelevation, alignment, longitudinal level, twist, cant and cross level. Inspection and estimation of irregularities are very important to maintain the rail condition. Generally, the EM120 has been utilized to measure the rail irregularities once a month in Korea. However, the EM120 can be operated at night time only, because the inspection speed of EM120 is much slower than the speed of high-speed trains. Also, the EM120 is too slow to inspect effectively for the whole commercial line. Therefore, we have mounted the track inspection system on the High-Speed Rolling Stock 350 eXperimental (HSR350X) and measured the rail irregularities to confirm the condition of a rail while running 300km/h. In this paper, the track inspection system mounted on HSR350X is mainly considered, and the measured results through test run are introduced.
