This study aimed to investigate the random vibration characteristic of train-slab track-bridge interaction system subjected to both track irregularities and earthquakes by use of pseudo-excitation method (PEM). Each vehicle subsystem was modeled by multibody dynamics. A three-dimensional rail-slab- girder-pier finite element model was created to simulate slab track and bridge subsystem. The equations of motion for the entire system were established based on the constraint condition of no jump between wheel and rail. The random load vectors of equations of motion were formulated by transforming track irregularities and seismic accelerations into a series of deterministic pseudo-excitations according to their respective power spectral density (PSD) functions by means of PEM. The time-dependent PSDs of random vibration responses of the system were obtained by step-by-step integration method, and the corresponding extreme values were estimated based on the first-passage failure criterion. As a case study, an ICE3 high-speed train passing a fifteen-span simply supported girder bridge simultaneously excited by track irregularities and earthquakes is presented. The evaluated extreme values and the PSD characteristic of the random vibration responses of bridge and train are analyzed, and the influences of train speed and track irregularities (without earthquakes) on the random vibration characteristic of bridge and train are discussed.

본 연구에서는 고속철도의 자갈궤도와 콘크리트궤도에서 열차 주행 안전 측면에서 관리해야 할 레일패드 강성의 상한값을 차량 및 궤도의 동특성과 운영환경을 고려하여 결정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 차량-궤도의 상호작용해석의 중요 입력 파라메타인 궤도틀림과 관련하여 프랑스 및 독일에서 제시한 고저틀림 PSD(파워 스펙트럼 밀도)와 경부고속철도 1단계 구간 자갈궤도 및 콘크리트궤도에서 계측한 고저틀림 자료를 통하여 얻은 PSD를 기초로 하여 넓은 범위의 주파수 영역에서 적용할 수 있는 자갈궤도와 콘크리트궤도의 고저틀림 PSD를 제시하였다. 제시된 PSD 기준 모델을 사용하여 시간 영역에서의 고저틀림 입력을 난수 생성(random number generation)을 통하여 구한 후 차량-궤도 상호작용 해석기법을 사용하여 레일패드 강성에 따른 윤중 감소율을 산정하였다. 산정된 윤중 감소율에 대하여 국내 철도차량 안전기준에 관한 규칙의 탈선계수 규정을 적용하여 주행 안전 측면에서 허용할 수 있는 레일패드 강성의 상한값을 제시하였다.

차량-궤도 구조물 동적 상호작용해석은 차량의 접촉점이 보요소로 모형화된 레일 위를 일정한 속도로 주행하는 미끄러지는 접촉문제로 취급하였다. 하지만 Euler 보와 같은 고차 다항식의 형상함수가 적용된 유한요소를 사용할 경우 미끄러지는 접촉문제에서 적합조건을 만족하지 못한다. 이 연구에서는 유한요소해석프로그램이 미끄러지는 접촉문제에서의 적합조건을 만족시키지 못하는 것에 대한 해결법으로 주행로를 이루는 보요소를 보다 세분화하여 동적상호작용해석에서의 정확성을 확보하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 간단한 예제들을 통해 주행로를 이루는 보요소의 세분화 정도에 따른 동적상호작용해석의 거동을 분석하였으며, 해석 프로그램의 동적상호작용해석에의 적용성을 평가하였다. 마지막으로 사각을 갖는 철도 암거 접속부의 뒷채움재 설치 형식에 따른 차량주행시의 거동을 평가하기 위하여 동적상호작용해석을 수행하고, 접속부 뒷채움재 형식의 변경에 따른 지지강성의 변화에 의한 영향과 노반침하에 따른 궤도틀림의 영향을 비교분석하였다.

열차 진동 저감을 위한 플로팅 슬래브궤도의 설계에 있어서 주행 안전, 승차감 및 사용성을 확보하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 플로팅 슬래브궤도에서 열차 주행안전과 승차감, 사용성 확보를 위한 요구조건을 분석하여 제시하였고, 열차-궤도 상호작용을 고려한 동적 해석기법을 적용하여 시스템 고유진동수, 스프링 지지간격 및 배치방법, 감쇠비 등 주요 시스템 설계변수에 따라 일반 콘크리트궤도와의 접속구간을 포함한 플로팅 슬래브궤도 구간에서의 열차 및 궤도의 동적 거동을 분석하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 일반 궤도와 플로팅슬래브궤도 간의 접속구간에서의 지지강성의 차이에 의해 윤중 변동율, 레일 응력, 레일 인상력 등의 동적 응답이 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 따라서 접속구간에서 스프링 지지간격을 좁히거나 스프링 강성의 차이를 완화시키는 방안이 주행안전과 궤도 사용성 확보를 위해 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 한편 차체 가속도로 평가하는 승차감은 접속구간에서의 지지강성의 차이에 의해서는 거의 영향을 받지 않고, 시스템 튜닝 주파수에 의해 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 승차감 확보를 위해서는 적절한 시스템 튜닝 주파수를 선정하는 것이 매우 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 이 밖에 감쇠비, 스프링 간격, 열차속도에 따른 영향을 분석하였다.

열차가 주행할 때 발생하는 차륜-레일 상호작용력은 열차의 주행속도, 차량축중과 선형조건(곡선반경, 캔트) 등 여러 변수의 영향을 받는다. 구조물의 안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 증속이전에 각 변수별로 구조물에 대한 영향 평가가 필요하다. 최근 차세대고속철도사업으로 국내에서 개발된 HEMU 430-X는 지난 2013년 3월, 경부 2단계구간에서 최고 421.4km/h의 속도를 달성한 바 있다. 향후 호남고속선 Test-Bed 구간(오송기점 K.P 100-128km)에서 추가적인 증속주행시험을 하는 경우 동적효과 증가로 인한 동적하중증가와 원심하중에 의한 외측레일에 대한 궤도작용력에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 HEMU열차의 추진력, 실측주행저항과 호남고속선의 선로선형을 고려하여 TPS 분석을 수행하여 선로에서의 속도변화를 계산하였다. 그리고 HEMU 열차주행시 곡선구간에서의 원심하중과 충격계수를 고려한 궤도부담력을 평가하였다.

The Pseudo-Excitation Method (PEM) is applied to study the stochastic space vibration responses of train-bridge coupling system. Each vehicle is modeled as a four-wheel mass-spring-damper system with two layers of suspension system possessing 15 degrees-of- freedom. The bridge is modeled as a spatial beam element, and the track irregularity is assumed to be a uniform random process. The motion equations of the vehicle system are established based on the d'Alembertian principle, and the motion equations of the bridge system are established based on the Hamilton variational principle. Separate iteration is applied in the solution of equations. Comparisons with the Monte Carlo simulations show the effectiveness and satisfactory accuracy of the proposed method. The PSD of the 3-span simply-supported girder bridge responses, vehicle responses and wheel/rail forces are obtained. Based on the $3{\sigma}$ rule for Gaussian stochastic processes, the maximum responses of the coupling system are suggested.

In this study, a new three-dimensional finite element analysis model of high-speed railway bridges considering train-bridge interaction, in which various improved finite elements are used for modeling structural members, is proposed. The box-type bridge deck of a railway bridge is modeled by the NFS(Nonconforming Flat Shell) elements with 6 degrees of freedom. Track structures are idealized using the beam finite elements with the offset of beam nodes and those on Winkler foundation with two parameters. And, the vehicle model devised for a high-speed train is employed, which has an articulated bogie system. By Lagrange's equations of motion, the equations of motion of a bridge-train system can be formulated. Finally, by deriving the equations of the forces acting on a bridge considering bridge-train interaction the complete system matrices of total bridge-train system can be constructed. As numerical examples of this study, 2-span PC box-girder bridge is analyzed and results are compared with experimental results.

The off-road tractive performance of tracked vehicles can be evaluated in terms of soil thrust, motion resistance and drawbar pull. The ability to predict accurately ground pressure distribution under track is of importance since the vehicle sinkage and motion resistance are closely related to it. While the formulation of the method for predicting ground pressure distribution follows closely in spirit the ideas outlined for the terrain with linear pressure- sinkage relation case by Garber and Wong, the analysis of various terrain stiffness is magnified by numerical implementation procedure. The effects of soil parameters on tractive forces can be introduced through the terrain-track interaction such as pressure-sinkage and shearing characteristics. It is illustrated by determining the drawber pull-slip relation and corresponding ground pressure distribution for the terrains typically chosen and by comparing the results with the conventional ones based on normal ground pressure. The factorial experiment method is finally adopted for checking the sensitivity of the values of soil parameters on the drawbar pull.

Wind-vehicle-bridge (WVB) interaction can be regarded as a coupled vibration system. Aerodynamic forces and moment on vehicles and bridge decks play an important role in the vibration analysis of the coupled WVB system. High-speed vehicle motion has certain effects on the aerodynamic characteristics of a vehicle-bridge system under crosswinds, but it is not taken into account in most previous studies. In this study, a new testing system with a moving vehicle model was developed to directly measure the aerodynamic forces and moment on the vehicle and bridge deck when the vehicle model moved on the bridge deck under crosswinds in a large wind tunnel. The testing system, with a total length of 18.0 m, consisted of three main parts: vehicle-bridge model system, motion system and signal measuring system. The wind speed, vehicle speed, test objects and relative position of the vehicle to the bridge deck could be easily altered for different test cases. The aerodynamic forces and moment on the moving vehicle and bridge deck were measured utilizing the new testing system. The effects of the vehicle speed, wind yaw angle, rail track position and vehicle type on the aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle and bridge deck were investigated. In addition, a data processing method was proposed according to the characteristics of the dynamic testing signals to determine the variations of aerodynamic forces and moment on the moving vehicle and bridge deck. Three-car and single-car models were employed as the moving rail vehicle model and road vehicle model, respectively. The results indicate that the drag and lift coefficients of the vehicle tend to increase with the increase of the vehicle speed and the decrease of the resultant wind yaw angle and that the vehicle speed has more significant effect on the aerodynamic coefficients of the single-car model than on those of the three-car model. This study also reveals that the aerodynamic coefficients of the vehicle and bridge deck are strongly influenced by the rail track positions, while the aerodynamic coefficients of the bridge deck are insensitive to the vehicle speed or resultant wind yaw angle.
