We studied on the characteristics of many kinds of tank cars carrying hazard materials and performed structural strength evaluation for tank of asphalt tank car using finite element analysis. We analyzed the tank strength according to JIS E 7102(Design Method for Tanks of Tank Cars). It was found that the maximum stress obtained at the area supported by the saddle is much lower than the yield stress and the criteria of JIS E 7102.

본 연구에서는 현재 위험물 수송용 탱크 화차에 대하여 수행되고 있는 구조해석 방법에 대한 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 국내에서 운행중인 위험물 수송용 탱크차의 종류와 특성을 조사하고 그 중 아스팔트 탱크화차의 비압력식 탱크에 대하여 탱크 화차의 구조적 특성을 고려하는 유한요소법을 이용한 구조적 강도평가 방법을 제시하였고 이를 위하여 JIS E 7102에 기술되어있는 탱크화차의 강도설계를 위한 실차 시험방법 절차를 유한요소법으로 구현하여 해석하였다. 그 결과 탱크를 지지하는 새들과 탱크와의 접촉부에서 최대응력이 발생하였으나 이는 JIS 규격에서 제시하는 평가기준을 초과하지 않았다. 이로써 아스팔트 탱크화차의 탱크는 충분한 구조적 강도를 갖고 있다는 결과를 도출하였다.

Increasing usage of tank cars and their intrinsic instability due to sloshing of contents have caused growing maintenance costs as well as more frequent hazards and defects like derailment and fatigue of bogies and axels. Therefore, varieties of passive solutions have been represented to improve dynamical parameters. In this task, assuming 22 degrees of freedom, dynamic analysis of partially filled tank car traveling on a curved track is investigated. In order to consider stochastic geometry of track; irregularities have been derived randomly by Mont Carlo method. More over the fluid tank model with 1 degree of freedom is also presented by equivalent mechanical approach in terms of pendulum. An active suspension system for described car is designed by using linear quadratic optimal control theory to decrease destructive effects of fluid sloshing. Eventually, the performance of the active suspension system has been compared with that of the passive one and a study is carried out on how active suspension may affect the dynamical parameters such as displacements and Nadal's derailment index.

본 연구의 목적은 국내 위험물 운송용 탱크화차의 충돌안전설계 가이드라인 제안을 위해 해외 충돌안전 기준에 따른 국내 위험물 운송화차에 대하여 비선형 충돌해석을 하여 위험성을 평가하고, 구조적 취약부를 분석하는데 있다. 유럽의 EN 12663-2에서 규정하는 화차의 완충시험 및 북미 49CFR179에서 규정하는 탱크 펑크시험기준을 분석하였으며, 상용 유한요소 해석 솔버인 LS-DYNA를 이용하여 각각 기준에 따른 비선형 유한요소모델을 모델링하였다. EN 규격의 완충시험 해석결과 충돌속도 6 km/h 이하에서는 소성변형이 발생하지 않을 것으로 예측하였지만, 8 km/h 이상의 충돌속도에서 중앙연결기를 통한 하중 전달으로 차체의 센터실 후방 및 탱크 중앙 지지부에서 소성변형을 확인하였다. 북미 법규의 탱크 펑크시험 해석결과 국내 탱크화차는 두부 충돌모드에서 충돌차량의 운동에너지를 4 % 이상 흡수시 두부의 코너부에서 탱크 외벽의 파괴가 발생하였으며, 측면 충돌모드에서 운동에너지 30 % 이상 흡수시에 충격체가 접촉하는 탱크 외벽의 파괴가 발생하여 내부 적재물의 누출을 예상하였다. 국내 유류 운송용 탱크화차의 해외 충돌안전 기준의 만족을 위해서는 차체 구조보강 설계 및 탱크 방호설계 수준을 향상시킬 필요가 있다.

In these days, many kinds of tank car such as Oil tank car, Asphalt tank car, Sulfuric Acid tank car and Propylene tank car are used for carrying hazardous materials. Although they have a lot of dangerous possibilities when they meet with accidents examples of collisions and derailments there are not prescribed methods or standards for structural analysis using FEM. In this study, the structural stress analysis for an Asphalt tank car(Non-pressurized tank) and a Propylene tank car(Pressurized tank) was performed using the FEM refer to the test method in JIS E 7102(Design Methods for Tanks of Tank Cars). And then we suggested the tank car analysis procedures and considered the results.

Storage tank filled with fluid has unique dynamic characteristics compared to general structures, due to the interaction between fluid and structure. The oscillation of the fluid surface caused by external forces is called sloshing, which occurs in moving vehicles with contained liquid masses, such as trucks, railroad cars, aircrafts, and liquid missles. In this study, the evaluation method for the reduction of sloshing, the optimized size and location of wing and diaphragm baffles are suggested based on the experimental results. The experimental device can simulate the translation motion. A rectangular tank and various baffles are fabricated to study on the sloshing characteristics. The forces measured using the load cell at tank wall and those are compared with each other through the Fourier transformation for various conditions. The study of the sloshing of the rectangular tank equipped with baffles is conducted under the same conditions with non-baffled rectangular tank experiment. From the experimental results, the sloshing reduction effect by the baffles is observed. In conclusion in case of diaphragm baffles, the optimized size ratio of the width of baffle to the water height is 0.44 and the installation location has no effect to the damping of sloshing. In case of wing baffles, the optimized size ratio of the width of baffle to the length of a rectangular tank is 0.1 and the optimized location ratio of the baffle to the water height is 0.9.

The oscillation of the fluid caused by external motions is called sloshing, which occurs in moving vehicles with contained fluid masses, such as the oil tankers, railroad cars, aircraft and rockets. Natural frequencies of fluid are much lower than that of solid structures, and the deformation caused by the excitation that is less than 1st natural frequency of fluid is very large. For the reason of that, sloshing characteristics under the ekcitation that is less than the 1st natural frequency must be studied prior to the consideration of natural frequencies of fluid. The experimental devices are constructed to simulate the translation motion. The rectangular tanks are made to study the sloshing characteristics under external excitation. The changes of water height are measured using an analogue camcorder and MPEG board, and those are compared to each other through a standard deviation. From the results of experiments, the sloshing is greatly influenced by the length of the rectangular tank than the width of that under the periodic translational motion in the length direction. The rapid amplification of sloshing by resonance is also confirmed experimentally.

Today, environmental issues have become a matter of worldwide concern. In particular, automobile industries engage in considerable research and investment to develop high-efficiency and ecofriendly cars. Most ecofriendly cars use natural gas or hydrogen gas instead of fossil fuels. In this regard, low-weight and high-pressure vessels have gradually been developed to increase the driving distance of a car. However, most pressure vessels installed in cars develop many defects over time owing to shocks sustained when the car is being driven. Such defects can cause the explosion of the pressure vessel. Therefore it is important to prevent such explosions due to internal defects. The use of shearography for measuring the internal defects of objects afford many advantages. It is a non-contact and non-destructive method, and it is not limited by the object shape. In this study, the internal defect deformation and strain of an aluminum liner that is used in a CNG bus for the fuel storage tank is measured using shearography. It is important to measure the strain and deformation in order to detect defects and repair the pressure vessel. To verify the accuracy of the shearography measurement method, the measurement results of shearography, out-of-plane ESPI, and FEM are compared quantitatively.

The oscillation of the fluid caused by external forces is call ed sloshing, which occurs in moving vehicles with contained liquid masses, such as trucks, railroad cars, aircraft, and liquid rocket. This sloshing effect could be a severe problem in vehicle stability and control. In this study, the optimization design technique for reduction of the sloshing using evolutionary method is suggested. Two evolutionary methods are employed, respectively the artificial neural network(ANN) and genetic algorithm. An artificial neural network is used for the analysis of sloshing and genetic algorithm is adopted as optimization algorithm. As a result of optimization design, the optimized size and location of the baffle is presented

The oscillation of the fluid caused by external forces is called sloshing, which occurs in moving vehicles with contained liquid masses, such as aircraft. cars and liquid rocket and so on. This sloshing effect could be a severe problem in vehicle stability and control. So, various baffles are used in order to reduce the sloshing. The Lagrangian, Eulerian and ALE numerical method is widely used on the analysis of sloshing presently. But, these numerical methods are needed so many CPU time. In this study, for the reduction of the sloshing analysis time, me multi.layer perceptron artificial neural network is introduced and analysis results are presented.
