A Three Dimensional Wheelset Dynamic Analysis considering Wheel-rail Two Point Contact

Abstract: Wheelset dynamic analysis is a key element to determine the degree of accuracy of railway vehicle dynamics. In this study, a three-dimensional wheelset dynamic analysis is presented in such a way that the precise wheel-rail contact analysis in three-dimension is implemented into the dynamic equations of a wheelset. A numerical procedure that can be used for the analysis of a wheelset dynamics when the wheel-rail two point contact occurs in a cornering maneuver is developed. Numerical solutions of the constraint equations and the dynamics equations of a wheelset are achieved by using Runge-Kutta method. The proposed wheelset dynamic analysis is validated by comparison against results obtained from VI-RAIL analysis.

Running Safety Analysis of Railway Vehicle passing through Curve depending on Rail Inclination Change

Abstract: So far today, there is a speed limit by the radius of curve based on operation regulation in domestic railway, however a study for the maximum running speed at the curved section without any derailment would be necessary. The two major factors related to the running safety of railway vehicle are classified as the railway vehicle condition and the track condition. In terms of the rail inclination among many other factors, the determination of rail inclination within the possible limit is necessary for the geometrical structure of the optimum track. The disregard of the geometrical parameter related to the rail inclination may cause a serious problem to the running safety of railway vehicle. This study is focusing on the analyzing of running safety regard to the change of rail inclination among the many other parameters to improve derailment safety, so that there is an affection analysis of the running safety regard to the change of rail inclination in the ideal and geometric track condition. Also There is an affection analysis of the running safety regard to the simultaneous change of rail inclination and the running speed at the curved section. According to analysis results of running safety, In case that the left and right rail inclination are 1/40, the running safety of this condition defined than other conditions. Also, the rail inclination of conventional lines is 1/40, Therefore, the railway vehicle passing through curve is safe when the railway vehicle runs in conventional lines.

A 3-dimensional Wheel-rail Contact Analysis of Railway Vehicle with 2-point Contacts

Abstract: In this study, the shapes of the wheel and rail are represented by using 3-dimensional surface functions with surface parameters and a 3-dimensional wheel-rail contact analysis is presented. A whole numerical solution of wheel-rail contact at tread and flange including 2-point contacts can be achieved with the proposed numerical algorithm. Kinematic characteristics such as variances of vertical displacement and roll angle, and variance of wheel radius difference for arbitrary yaw and lateral displacement of wheelset, are determined for the KTX wheel-rail pair as an example. The condition of yaw and lateral displacement occurring 2-point contacts to analyze derailment are compared between standard and worn wheels. Differences of contact characteristics between curved and straight rails are also analyzed.

Analysis of Running Safety According to Changes of Guard Rail Length on F10/F12 Turnout

Abstract: 1.1 연구목적 및 필요성 기존선에서의 속도향상을 저해하는 요인은 매우 다양하지만, 그 중 분기기 통과속도 제한규정을 가장 대표적 사례로 손꼽히고 있다. 현재, 기존선 분기기의 직선측 최고 통과속도는 일반 선로의 차량 최고 주행속도에 비하여 낮은 속도로 제한되어 운행하고 있으며 분기기내에서 주행속도를 제한하는 것은 분기기 통과 시 철도차량의 주행안전성을 확보하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 분기기에서는 일반적인 차륜-레일 접촉과 달리 다중접촉이 발생하거나 충격하중이 발생하기도 한다. 또한, 복잡한 분기기의 구성 때문에 곡선부에 캔트(Cant)를 부여하기가 곤란하므로 곡선부에서 발생하는 횡가속도가 감소되지 않아 승객에게 불편함을 주게 되고 차량의 주행안전성에도 좋지 않은 영향을 미치게 된다. 위와 같은 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 철도관련 연구기관에서 분기기에서의 통과속도 및 주행안전성을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 이루어지고 있으며, 특히 철도차량의 분기기 통과 시에 횡압의 변화를 최소화하기 위한 설계가 요구되고 있다. 하지만, Key Words: Turnout(분기기), Guard Rail(가드레일), Running Safety(주행안전성), Derailment Coefficient (탈선계수) 초록: 기존선에서의 속도향상을 저해하는 요인은 매우 다양하지만, 그 중 분기기 통과속도 제한규정을 가장 대표적 사례로 손꼽히고 있다. 현재, 기존선 분기기의 직선측 최고 통과속도는 일반 선로의 차량 최고 주행속도에 비하여 낮은 속도로 제한되어 운행하고 있으며 분기기내에서 주행속도를 제한하는 것은 분기기 통과 시 철도차량의 주행안전성을 확보하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대구도시철도공사의 분기기 가드레일에 대한 형상 변경사례를 기반으로 하여, 분기기에서의 차륜/레일 형상에 따른 기하학적 관계식을 이론적으로 검토하였으며, 개발한 VI-Rail 분기기 해석기법을 통하여 F10/F12 분기기에서의 가드레일 길이 변화에 따른 주행안전성 해석을 수행하여 그에 따른 영향을 살펴보았다. Abstract: The speed-limit regulation on a turnout is the main factor inhibiting the speed-up of conventional lines. The specified speed for a train moving through a turnout system is lower than that for a train traveling over the general track. This is done to ensure the running safety of a railway vehicle moving through a turnout. In this study, the shape change example of the guard rail component of a turnout in the Daegu Metropolitan Transit Corporation (DTRO) system was studied. A theoretical examination of the geometrical interaction formula according to wheel/rail shape at the turnout was conducted. Running safety analysis by changing the length of the guard rail on the F10/F12 turnout using the developed analysis techniques (by VI-Rail) was achieved, and the effect on railway safety was examined accordingly.
