Abstract

In the design process of dynamic characteristics of a railway vehicle, demand for analysis, testing and estimation methods of running stability are increasing as railway vehicle speed is increasing. Critical speed tests and estimation have been carried out using computer simulation or special test facilities, like roller rigs, because real track testing at critical speed is very dangerous. This paper introduces a test and assessment method for critical speed and estimates the validity using several roller rig tests. The test results show that it is difficult to estimate the critical speed using safety and instability assessment method in UIC 518, but that there is good agreement between the reduction of the equivalent damping ratio and the critical speed.

철도차량이 고속화될수록 동적특성 설계에 있어 주행안정성 해석, 시험 및 평가 기법의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 특히 철도차량이 실제 선로에서 임계속도에 도달하면 헌팅에 의한 윤축의 과도한 진동으로 탈선 등의 중대 사고가 발생할 가능성이 높아 거의 대부분의 임계속도 시험 및 평가는 해석으로 대체하거나 주행시험대 같은 특수한 장비를 이용하여 수행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 철도차량의 임계속도를 시험하고 평가하는 방법을 고찰하고 그 유용성을 실제 주행시험대 시험을 통해 확인하였다. 시험결과로부터 UIC 518에서 제시한 대차 가속도를 이용한 안전성 및 불안정 평가는 임계속도와 상관관계가 낮아 임계속도를 추정하는데 직접적으로 활용되기 어려우며, 등가감쇠비의 변화를 이용한 추정방법이 더 유효한 것으로 분석되었다.
