Rail support failure is inevitably subjected to track geometric deformations. Due to the randomness and evolvements of track irregularities, it is naturally a hard work to grasp the trajectories of dynamic responses of railway systems. This work studies the influence of rail fastener failure on dynamic behaviours of wheel/rail interactions and the railway tracks by jointly considering the effects of track random irregularities. The failure of rail fastener is simulated by setting the stiffness and damping of rail fasteners to be zeroes in the compiled vehicle-track coupled model. While track random irregularities will be transformed from the PSD functions using a developed probabilistic method. The novelty of this work lays on providing a method to completely reveal the possible responses of railway systems under jointly excitation of track random irregularities and rail support failure. The numerical results show that rail fastener failure has a great influence on both the wheel/rail interactions and the track vibrations if the number of rail fastener failure is over three. Besides, the full views of time-dependent amplitudes and probabilities of dynamic indices can be clearly presented against different failing status.

교육은 한 사회의 근간을 이루는 중요한 부분이다. 그럼에도 한국 언론은 교육비리나 문제에 대해 제한적이고 소극적인 태도를 보여 왔다. 사학비리가 주로 언론을 통해 공론화되고, 언론보도를 통해 그 대상을 이해하고 해석한다는 점을 감안할 때, 언론이 사학비리를 어떻게 사회적 의제로 상정하는가는 매우 중요한 문제라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 KBS, MBC, SBS, YTN, JTBC 등 5개 방송사가 사학비리 관련 이슈를 어떻게 틀 짓고 있는지에 주목하였다. 분석결과, 방송사들은 단순관찰자로서 사학비리에 대한 현상 기술에 주목하면서 수동적으로 접근하는 데에 그쳤을 뿐, 근본적인 문제에 대해서는 다루지 않았던 것으로 확인되었다. 정보원은 주로 사립학교의 비리 감사와 조사, 감독을 담당하는 교육부와 검찰, 교육단체 등과 같은 감시감독자가 가장 많이 등장하였다. 뉴스 프레임은 사건 전달 프레임과 개입 및 해결 프레임, 도덕적 해이 프레임, 시위 및 분규 프레임이 주로 사용되었다. 반면, 사학의 존재 근거가 되는 자주성 강조 프레임과 공공성 강조 프레임은 거의 나타나지 않았다. 특히 사학비리와 정치권력의 유착관계가 지속적으로 지적되고 있음에도 이에 대한 보도는 찾아보기 어려웠다. 결과적으로 사학비리가 사회적 의제로 논의될 수 있도록 방송사들의 관점과 태도의 재정립, 그리고 보도방식의 변화가 요구된다고 하겠다.

자갈궤도는 압축성 재료인 자갈과 흙을 기초로 하여 건설되므로 공용 기간 중 승차감을 확보하고 수명연장을 위해서는 유지보수작업이 필수적이다. 현재 수행되고 있는 자갈궤도에 대한 유지보수 작업은 EM120 검측차를 이용한 궤도틀림 측정 결과로부터 결정된다. 궤도틀림은 궤도에 변형이 발생된 결과를 측정하는 것으로, 궤도틀림을 유발시키는 근본적인 원인을 평가해 볼 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 궤도틀림의 원인이 궤도를 지지하는 도상과 노반에 있다고 판단하고, 도상 및 노반의 싱태를 평가할 수 있는 비파괴탐사법 (GPR4과 PFWD)을 개발하고 이를 경부선 500m구간에 적용하였다. 개발 작용된 방법은 층 두께 평가법과 궤도수직강성 평가법 및 도상 노반 시추법이다. 도상 및 노반 상태평가 결과를 기 수행된 궤도틀림 검측결과 및 유지보수작업과 비교함으로서 불필요한 유지보수작업 구간을 평가하였다.

As a part of collaborative efforts to understand ionospheric irregularities, the Korea ionospheric scintillation sites (KISS) network has been built based on global positioning system (GPS) receivers with sampling rates higher than 1 Hz. We produce the rate of TEC index (ROTI) to represent GPS TEC fluctuations related to ionospheric irregularities. In the KISS network, two ground-based GPS sites at Kiruna (marker: KIRN; geographic: $67.9^{\circ}$ N, $21.4^{\circ}$ E; geomagnetic: $65.2^{\circ}$ N) and Chuuk (marker: CHUK; geographic: $7.5^{\circ}$ N, $151.9^{\circ}$ E; geomagnetic: $0.4^{\circ}$ N) were selected to evaluate the ROTI value for ionospheric irregularities during the occurrence of the 2015 St. Patrick's Day storm. The KIRN ROTI values in the aurora region appear to be generally much higher than the CHUK ROTI values in the EIA region. The CHUK ROTI values increased to ~0.5 TECU/min around UT=13:00 (LT=23:00) on March 16 in the quiet geomagnetic condition. On March 17, 2015, CHUK ROTI values more than 1.0 TECU/min were measured between UT=9:00 and 12:00 (LT=19:00 and 22:00) during the first main phase of the St. Patrick's Day storm. This may be due to ionospheric irregularities by increased pre-reversal enhancement (PRE) after sunset during the geomagnetic storm. Post-midnight, the CHUK ROTI showed two peaks of ~0.5 TECU/min and ~0.3 TECU/min near UT=15:00 (LT=01:00) and UT=18:00 (LT=04:00) at the second main phase. The KIRN site showed significant peaks of ROTI around geomagnetic latitude=$63.3^{\circ}$ N and MLT=15:40 on the same day. These can be explained by enhanced ionospheric irregularities in the auroral oval at the maximum of AE index

궤도틀림은 철도차량의 주행안전성 및 승차감에 매우 큰 영향을 미치는 중요 인자 중 하나이다. 따라서, 차량의 주행안전성과 승차감의 확보를 위해서는 주행속도, 차량의 동적특성, 궤도틀림 검측차의 검측특성, 검측주기등을 고려하여 적정한 궤도틀림 기준을 설정하고, 관련 기준에 따라 궤도틀림을 철저히 관리하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 궤도틀림 중에서 방향틀림이 KTX 차량의 거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 철도차량 동특성 해석프로그램인 VAMPIRE를 이용하여 방향틀림의 파장과 진폭에 대한 매개변수해석을 수행하였다. 방향틀림 크기와 파장에 따른 KTX의 탈선계수, 대차가속도, 차체가속도 및 궤도횡압 등의 주행거동을 조사하였으며, 방향틀림이 KTX차량의 주행안전성과 승차감에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 방향틀림은 차량주행안전성에 미치는 영향이 크며, KTX 주행안전성 확보를 위하여 방향틀림을 엄격하게 관리하여야 함을 알 수 있었다.

Due to high-speed of trains, the track deformation increases rapidly and may lead to track irregularities causing the track stability problem. To secure the track stability, the continual inspection on track irregularities is required. The paper presents a methodology for identifying track irregularity using the NARX neural network considering non-linearity in the train structural system. A simulation study has been carried out to examine the proposed method. Acceleration time history data measured at a bogie were re-sampled to every 0.25m track irregularity. In the simulation study, two sets of measured data were simulated. The second data set was obtained by a train with 10% more mass than the one for the first data set. The first set of simulated data was used to train the series-parallel mode of NARX neural network. Then, the track irregularities at the second time period are identified by using the measured acceleration data. The closeness of the identified track irregularity to the actual one is evaluated by PSD and RMSE.

The irregularities in the guideways used in the Maglev transportation system that result from surface roughness and deflection of guideway have strong effects on the dynamic characteristics of Maglev vehicles, because the electromagnetic suspension of Maglev vehicles strongly interacts with the guideway. For this reason, a numerical prediction of air gap responses to these irregularities is desirable to improve aspects of running performance, such as stability and passenger comfort, while minimizing aesthetic impact and construction cost. This paper presents a procedure to predict the air gap response which is a criteria for stability, and investigates the responses with the goal of attaining higher travel speeds in the urban Maglev vehicle UTM-01 utilizing electromagnetic suspension.

In designing the high-speed railroad track, it is important to utilize appropriate track components to maintain uniform stiffness and ensure track alignment within the tolerance set for that system. In this regard, continuous welded rails (CWRs) were introduced to the Korean railways. Yet the installation of CWRs can result in an adverse impact due to the track/structure interaction on bridge sections yielding variations in the stiffness at the expansion joints. It may also impose additional axial force, generate excessive stress or deflection on track, and loosen the ballast at the ends as a bridge deck contracts or expands owing to a thermally-induced dynamic response. The risk is even greater in a long bridge deck, resulting in track longitudinal irregularities, deteriorating passenger's comfort, and increasing maintenance efforts. This study evaluates the performance of ZLR and their impact on track longitudinal irregularities through the track measuring results on a test section installed the ZLR in order to minimize the thermally-induced responses and the maintenance efforts for the high speed railway bridges.

In this study, structural irregularities in plan, which has a considerable effect on earthquake behavior of buildings, have been investigated in detail based on Turkish Earthquake Code 2007. The study consists of six main parametric models and a total of 144 sub-models that are grouped based on RC structural systems such as frame, frame + rigid core, frame with shear wall, and frame with shear wall + rigid core. All models are designed to have both symmetrical plan geometry and regular rigidity distribution. Changes in the earthquake behavior of buildings were evaluated according to the number of storeys, number of axes and the configuration of structural elements. Many findings are obtained and assessed as a result of the analysis for each structural irregularity. The study shows that structural irregularities can be observed in completely symmetric buildings in terms of plan geometry and rigidity distribution.
