Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to suggest a weight-reduction design method for the hybrid carbody of a high-speed maglev train that uses aluminum extrusion profiles and sandwich composites. A sandwich composite was used on the roof as a secondary member to minimize the weight. In order to assemble the sandwich composite roof and aluminum extrusion side frame of the carbody using welding, a guide aluminum frame located at the four sides of the sandwich composite roof was introduced in this study. The clamping force of this guide aluminum frame was verified by three-point bending test. The structural integrity and crashworthiness of the hybrid carbody of a high-speed maglev train were evaluated and verified according to the Korean Railway Safety Law using a commercial finite element analysis program. The results showed that the hybrid carbody composed of aluminum extrusion frames and a sandwich composite roof was lighter in weight than a carbody made only of aluminum extrusion profiles and had better structural performance.

본 논문의 목적은 알루미늄 압출재와 샌드위치 복합재를 사용한 초고속 자기부상 열차의 하이브리드 차체 경량화 설계를 제안하는 것이다. 샌드위치 복합재는 무게 감소를 위해 2차 부재인 루프에 적용되었다. 용접에 의한 샌드위치 복합재 루프와 알루미늄 압출재 사이드 프레임과 접합시키기 위해 샌드위치 복합재 네 옆면에 가이드 알루미늄 프레임을 갖도록 고안하였다. 가이드 알루미늄 프레임의 체결력은 3점 굽힘 시험을 통해 검증하였으며, 차체의 구조 안전성 및 충돌 안전도는 상용 유한요소해석프로그램을 이용하여 철도안전법에 따라 평가하고 검증하였다. 연구결과, 알루미늄 압출재와 샌드위치 복합재로 이루어진 하이브리드 차체는 알루미늄 압출재로만 이루어진 차체에 비해 무게 절감 효과와 향상된 구조 성능을 얻을 수 있다.
