Abstract

In a subway vehicle, a lateral damper is used for compensating the lateral stiffness deterioration due to the air-spring as a secondary suspension. This lateral damper can reduce the lateral vibration of the carbody. When the damping force of the lateral damper is lowered, the running stability and ride quality of the subway vehicles worsens and the lateral motion of the carbody is increased. In this study, the lateral displacement variation of the carbody according to the damping force of the lateral damper was analyzed by multi-body dynamics to solve the abnormal impact problem during vehicle operation. Furthermore, the noise and vibration due to abnormal impact were considered. An adequate damping coefficient of the lateral damper for the subway vehicle treated in this paper was suggested for preventing abnormal impact.

지하철 전동차에는 2 차 현가장치인 공기스프링의 횡강성 저하특성을 보강하기 위해 대차와 차체 사이에 횡댐퍼를 설치하게 되는데, 이 횡댐퍼는 주행 시 차체의 횡진동을 감소시키는 역할을 수행한다. 그러나, 횡댐퍼의 감쇠력이 저하될 경우 전동차의 주행안정성과 승차감이 함께 악화되며, 차체의 횡방향 운동이 증가되는 요인으로 작용하게 된다. 본고에서는 전동차 주행 시 비정상적으로 발생하는 충격에 대하여 그 원인을 살펴보고 해결방안을 마련하고자 횡댐퍼의 감쇠력에 따른 차체의 횡변위를 동역학 시뮬레이션을 통해 검토하였으며, 그에 따라 충격에 의한 이상진동 및 소음의 발생 유무를 파악하였다. 그로부터 충격이 발생되지 않는 적정 감쇠력을 구하고자 하였다.
