Abstract To absorb the vibration of the carbody of the high-speed train in multiple degrees of freedom, a multi-degree of freedom dynamic vibration absorber (MDOF DVA) is proposed. Installed under the carbody, the natural vibration frequency of the MDOF DVA from each DOF can be designed as a DVA for each single degree of freedom of the carbody. Hence, a 12-DOF model including the main vibration system and a MDOF DVA is established, and the principle of Multi-DOF dynamic vibration absorption is analyzed by combining the design method of single DVA and genetic algorithm. Based on a high-speed train dynamics model including an under-carbody MDOF DVA, the vibration control effect on each DOF of the MDOF DVA is analyzed by the virtual excitation method. Moreover, a high static and low dynamic stiffness (HSLDS) mount is proposed based on a cam–roller–spring mechanism for the installation of the MDOF DVA due to the requirement of the low vertical dynamic stiffness. From the dynamic simulation of a non-linear model in time-domain, the vibration control performance of the MDOF DVA installed with nonlinear HSLDS mount on the carbody is analyzed. The results show that the MDOF DVA can absorb the vibration of the carbody in multiple degrees of freedom effectively, and improve the running ride quality of the vehicle.

Electromagnetic damper cum energy harvester (EMDEH) is an emerging dual-function device that enables simultaneous energy harvesting and vibration control. This study presents a novel energy-harvesting adaptive vibration control application of EMDEH on the basis of the past EMDEH development in passive control. The proposed EMDEH comprises an electromagnetic damper connected to a specifically designed energy harvesting circuit (EHC), wherein the EHC is a buck–boost converter with a microcontroller unit (MCU) and a bridge rectifier. The effectiveness of the energy-harvesting adaptive vibration damping is validated numerically through a high-speed train (HST) model running at different speeds. MCU-controlled adaptive duty cycle adjustment in the EHC enables the EMDEHs to adaptively offer the optimal damping coefficients that are highly dependent on train speeds. In the meantime, the harvested power can be stored in rechargeable batteries by the EHC. Numerical results project the average output power ranging from 40.5[Formula: see text]W to 589.8[Formula: see text]W from four EMDEHs at train speed of 100–340[Formula: see text]km/h, with a maximum output power efficiency of approximately 35%. In comparison to energy-harvesting passive vibration control and a pure viscous damper, the proposed energy-harvesting adaptive control strategy can improve vibration reductions by approximately 40% and 27%, respectively, at a speed of 340[Formula: see text]km/h. These numerical results clearly demonstrate the benefit and prospect of the proposed energy-harvesting adaptive vibration control in HST suspensions.

We put forward the motor active flexible suspension and investigate its dynamic effects on the high-speed train bogie. The linear and nonlinear hunting stability are analyzed using a simplified eight degrees-of-freedom bogie dynamics with partial state feedback control. The active control can improve the function of dynamic vibration absorber of the motor flexible suspension in a wide frequency range, thus increasing the hunting stability of the bogie at high speed. Three different feedback state configurations are compared and the corresponding optimal motor suspension parameters are analyzed with the multi-objective optimal method. In addition, the existence of the time delay in the control system and its impact on the bogie hunting stability are also investigated. The results show that the three control cases can effectively improve the system stability, and the optimal motor suspension parameters in different cases are different. The direct state feedback control can reduce corresponding feed state's vibration amplitude. Suppressing the frame's vibration can significantly improve the running stability of bogie. However, suppressing the motor's displacement and velocity feedback are equivalent to increasing the motor lateral natural vibration frequency and damping, separately. The time delay over 10 ms in control system reduces significantly the system stability. At last, the effect of preset value for getting control gains on the system linear and nonlinear critical speed is studied.

From the vibration data obtained simultaneously on several cars in the same Shinkansen train, it was observed that the vibration amplitude of the tail car is greater than those of the other cars in a train. The authors' analysis arrived at the conclusion that the vibration mode of a train has a tendency for the tail car to vibrate more than the others, when the carbody hunting characteristics of a train for the yawing mode are likely to emerge, and when aerodynamic forces work in a tunnel section. Referring to those results, by simulation analysis etc., it was found that two longitudinal dampers installed parallel between the car ends (Fig. 1) with their forces depending on the angular velocity between cars, are effective in decreasing the train vibration including the tail car's vibration. Then, the prototype of the longitudinal dampers between the cars for Shinkansen was designed by obtaining the proper damping coefficient through simulation. The effectiveness of the installed damper was verified when it was tested up to 310 km/h in the Shinkansen train.

In order to suppress the lateral vibration of high-speed train caused by track irregularity, the delayed feedback control is employed to suppress the vibration of the semi-active suspension system. The 1/4 vehicle mathematical model of semi-active suspension system is established. The amplitude of the bodys lateral vibration is large at some values of external excitation frequency for the passive suspension system, and it could be suppressed at some values of time delay, while the vibration of the bodys lateral vibration may be deteriorated at other values of time delay. The results show that the amplitude of the bodys lateral vibration could be suppressed about 50% when the suitable values of damping coefficient and time delay are chosen by comparing with the passive suspension system. The analytical results of this paper are in good agreement with the numerical simulation.
