Abstract

In this study, proposed is the methodology to determine the upper limit for stiffness of rail pad for the ballasted and concrete track in high-speed railway in the viewpoint of running safety, considering the dynamic characteristics of train and track and the operation environment. For the track irregularity, one of the most important input parameters for traintrack interaction analysis, the reference vertical track irregularity PSDs(power spectral densities) for the ballasted and concrete track in a wide range of frequencies were proposed based on those presented in France and Germany and that obtained from the measured data at Kyeong-Bu 1st phase high-speed railway line. Using these reference PSD models, the input data for the vertical track irregularity data were regenerated by random generation process, and then, the wheel load reduction rates according to the stiffness of the rail pads have been calculated by the train-track interaction analysis technique. Finally, by comparing the wheel load reduction rates calculated with the derailment criteria prescribed in the Korean standards for railway vehicle safety criteria, the upper limits for the stiffness of rail pad have been proposed.

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.
