Abstract

In this study, the influences of rail surface roughness on dynamic wheel-rail forces currently employed in conventional lines were assessed by performing field measurements according to grinding of rail surface roughness. The influence of the grinding effect was evaluated using a previous empirical prediction model for dynamic wheel-rail forces; model includes first-order derivatives of QI (Quality Index) and vehicle velocity. The theoretical dynamic wheel-rail force determined using the previous prediction equation was analyzed using the QI, which decreased due to rail grinding as determined through field measurements. At a constant track support stiffness, an increase in the QI caused an increase in dynamic wheel-rail forces. Further, it can be inferred that the results of dynamic wheel-rail analysis obtained using the measured data, such as the variation of QI due to rail grinding, can be used to predict the peak dynamic forces. Therefore, it is obvious that the optimum amount of rail grinding can be determined by considering the QI, that was regarding an operation characteristics of the target track (vehicle velocity and wheel load).

레일표면 품질지수(QI: Quality Index)가 동적 궤도작용력에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 현장측정을 통해 레일연마횟수(Pass)에 따른 레일표면 품질지수의 변화를 분석하였다. 이론식에 근거하여 레일표면 품질지수에 영향을 미치는 매개변수인 열차속도에 따른 상관관계를 분석하였다. 레일연마횟수에 따른 레일표면 품질지수가 동적 궤도작용력에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 레일표면 품질지수는 레일연마가 진행됨에 따라 감소하고 동적 궤도작용력 역시 일정 비율로 감소하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 고속주행 시 레일표면 품질지수에 따라 동적 궤도작용력은 크게 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 즉, 레일연마는 레일표면 품질지수를 일정비율로 감소시킬 수 있고, 궤도시스템 전반에 영향을 미치는 동적 궤도상호작용력을 저감 시킬 수 있는 것으로 분석되어 효율적인 레일표면관리를 위해서는 운행 노선의 열차속도를 감안한 레일표면 품질지수의 관리가 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.
