Abstract

The damaged wheel in railway vehicle would cause a poor ride comfort, a rise in the maintenance cost and even fracture of the wheel, which then leads to a tremendous social and economical cost. The defect initiation and crack propagation in wheel may result in the damage of the railway vehicle or derailment. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the characteristics of the wheel tread. In the present paper, the characteristics of wheel tread based on contact positions, running distance and brake pattern are evaluated. The result shows that the damaged wheel tread is remarkably depended on the contact positions between wheel and rail.

도시철도 차륜에서 손상된 차륜은 주행 중의 승차감 악화 및 보수비용의 증가로 이어질 수 있기 때문에 차륜답면 특성 변화에 대한 평가는 대단히 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 비파괴적 표면검사법을 이용하여 차륜답면의 손상 평가를 실시하였으며 접촉위치, 주행거리, 제동방식에 따라 차륜답면의 특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 접촉위치에 따라 차륜답면이 현저히 다른 손상 특성을 나타남을 보여주고 있다.
