The use of composite materials for the carbody structures of tilting train has many advantages because of manufacturing variety, specific high-strength & stiffness characteristics, and long-life durability, but the strongest advantage is the possibility of lightweight product. In the leading countries, the composite materials are used for the material for drivers' cabs, interior/exterior equipments for railway train, and it is now developing the composite materials applied for the train carbody structure. In this paper, we conducted the evaluation of structural stability for the all aluminum carbody, all composite carbody and hybrid carbody structures of the Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) with the service speed of 180km/h.

한국은 산과 강이 많고 평야가 적은 지형적 특성상 터널 구간, 교량 구간 등이 많고 철도 차량이 이러한 구간들을 통과할 때 차량 내부에서 발생되는 과도 소음 또한 자주 발생하게 된다. 정상상태에서 소음에 비하여 과도상태에서 소음은 특성이 급격히 변화하여 승객들에게 더욱 큰 성가심을 유발할 수 있다. 특히 국내에서 운행중인 KTX 와 KTX 산천과 같은 고속철도의 경우 빠른 운행 속도로 인하여 과도 소음의 정도 또한 높아지게 된다. 따라서 더욱 정숙한 승객들의 승차 환경을 조성하기 위하여 과도상태에서의 실내소음 특성분석은 그 중요성이 더욱 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고속철도가 감속 가속할 때, 터널을 통과할 때, 교량 위를 운행할 때, 차량이 교행할 때 등의 과도 상태에서의 실내 소음 특성을 음질평가의 방법으로 분석하고 정상상태에서의 소음 특성과 비교하였다.

Numerical simulation is conducted to clarify the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of HVAC(Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning) for double' deck train. The HVAC system is installed under the roof of carbody. In the lay-out of HVAC system, air duct must be installed to supply air to 1st and 2nd floor respectively. The standard k-$\epsilon$ and LES models for turbulence and SIMPLE algorithm for pressure equation hased on finite volume method are used to solve the physic a] HVAC model. To assure convergence, QUICK scheme for momentum equation and the 2nd order upwind scheme for turbulent equations arc used. From the results of simulation, the temperature and velocity magnitude are also distributed uniformly in the interior of double-deck passenger car.

The aim of this study was to clarify the characteristics of interior noise in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese subways. The octave-band noise levels, A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level ($L_{Aeq}$) and parameters extracted from interaural cross-correlation/autocorrelation functions (ACF/IACFs) were analyzed to evaluate the noise inside running train cars quantitatively and qualitatively. The average $L_{Aeq}$ was 72-83 dBA. The IACF/ACF parameters of the noise showed variations in their values, suggesting they are affected by the characteristics of the trains running, wheel-rail interaction, and cross-section of the tunnels.

The method to reduce interior noise of train was being studied. To improve transmission loss of train is one of the best way to reduce interior noise. But, the estimate to transmission loss requires lots of the commercial costs. In this study, the method to estimate transmission loss of high speed train is proposed using a scale reverberation chamber. The result shows that a transmission loss estimated using small scale reverberation is similar to that using huge reverberation chamber. The transmission loss estimated based on small scale reverberation chamber can be optimal with respect to the commercial coasts.

When fluid at high speed flows over an open cavity, large acoustic pressure fields inside the cavity are produced by fluid/structure interactions at the downstream end of the cavity. The inter-coach spacing is one of the most important sources of the aero-acoustic noise of a high-speed train. This noise can usually be heard as low frequency structure-borne noise inside the train. In this study experiments were performed in order to investigate the effects of mud-flap length on the aeroacoustic noise generation inside high-speed trains. Results of the measurement confirmed that the characteristics of the noise generated from the inter-coach spacing are strongly dependent on the size of the gap. Also investigated are the characteristics of the turbulent flow after the inter-coach spacing and consequent generation of the aeroacoustic noise inside the cabin.

In this Paper the noise characteristics of KTX are analyzed in order to study the interior noise mechanism of KTX in slab tracks, which has become an issue since the commercial operating in 2004. The analysis of the interior noise of KTX in tunnel with concrete track shows sharply increased noise level in the range of 80Hz that is the natural frequency of the KIX carbody. The frequency characteristics of noise and acceleration levels of KTX in tunnels are compared to understand the interrelation between the noise inside the vehicle and outside the vehicle in the slat track tunnel. As a noise abatement method, the mud-flap was modified with intend to reduce the noise outside gangway and the interior noise inside the passenger compartment ultimately. The effect of this mud-flap modification on the interior noise is introduced and discussed.
