Structural Safety Evaluations of Bogie Frames for Rubber-Tired AGT Vehichles

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study was aimed at evaluating the structural safety of the new bogie frames for Korean-standardized rubber-tired AGT vehicles. The guidance frame and the rotation frame were designed according to Korean-standardized specifications for rubber-tired AGT vehicles, and their stresses were analyzed by using the finite element method. Based on the results of the analysis, dynamic stresses were measured while the train was running under various conditions in the test track. Analytical and experimental results verified the structural safety of the new bogie frames.
