Influence of Electromagnet-Rail Coupling on Vertical Dynamics of EMS Maglev Trains
Journal Title: Mechatronics and Intelligent Transportation Systems - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Active control is essential for EMS maglev trains to achieve stable suspension. Currently, the main line's suspension performs well, but in areas with low track stiffness, such as the garage, turnouts, and other lines, unexpected coupling vibration is more likely to occur. Control parameters, vehicle parameters, and rail parameters are all closely related to this phenomenon. In this study, the vehicle-rail coupling dynamic equation with secondary suspension system is first established, and used to disclose the effects of different parameters on the electromagnet-rail coupling vibration of the EMS maglev train. Next, the authors adopted the proportional-derivative (PD) controller, and proposed the concept of maglev train control frequency. Next, a general simulation model was established based on the MATLAB/Simulink, and numerical simulation was carried out to reveal how the secondary suspension frequency, the control frequency and the rail frequency affect the electromagnet-rail coupling vibration. The research results provide a reference for the design of maglev trains, controllers, and tracks, laying a theoretical basis for the maintenance of maglev commercial lines.
