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.

This article proposes a new nonlinear state-feedback stability controller utilizing linear matrix inequality (LMI) for time-delay nonlinear systems in the presence of Lipschitz nonlinearities and subject to parametric uncertainties. Following the Lyapunov–Krasovskii stabilization scheme, the asymptotic stability criterion resulted in the LMI form and the nonlinear state-feedback control technique was determined. Due to their significant contributions to the system stability, time delays and system uncertainties were taken into account while the suggested scheme was designed so that the system’s stabilization was satisfied in spite of time delays and system uncertainties. The benefit of the proposed method is that not only is the control scheme independent of the system order, but it is also fairly simple. Hence, there is no complexity in using the proposed technique. Finally, to justify the proficiency and performance of the suggested technique, a numerical system and a rotational inverted pendulum were studied. Numerical simulations and experimental achievements prove the efficiency of the suggested control technique.

Abstract Hunting stability of high-speed train is an important dynamic performance for the design of bogie suspension parameters. An appropriate hunting stability margin is required for high-speed train. Besides, a remarkable ability to weaken the influence caused by the disturbance of bogie suspension parameters and wheel-rail contact parameters on hunting stability is also required. The matching design of bogie passive suspension parameters is an important means to ensure the train comprehensive stability. In this paper, the concept of robust hunting stability is proposed, and the indexes for suspension parameter robustness and wheel-rail contact equivalent conicity robustness are defined and chosen as the dynamic performance indexes for the bogie suspension parameters design. Design of Experiment (DOE) is used to search the suspension parameters to satisfy the defined robust hunting stability indexes. Vehicle linear stability analysis is performed based on a large number of combined random suspension parameters, and then the parameters satisfying the performance requirements are designed, from which the parameter matching rules are concluded based on the discrete statistical analysis. Using this method, the suspension parameters can be designed to satisfy the defined multiple vehicle dynamic performance indexes, instead of engineering experiences.

The reliability and availability of the onboard high-speed train control system are important to guarantee operational efficiency and railway safety. Failures occurring in the onboard system may result in serious accidents. In the analysis of the effects of failure, it is significant to consider the operation of an onboard system. This article presents a systemic approach to evaluate the reliability and availability for the onboard system based on dynamic Bayesian network, with taking into account dynamic failure behaviors, imperfect coverage factors, and temporal effects in the operational phase. The case studies are presented and compared for onboard systems with different redundant strategies, that is, the triple modular redundancy, hot spare double dual, and cold spare double dual. Dynamic fault trees of the three kinds of onboard system are constructed and mapped into dynamic Bayesian networks. The forward and backward inferences are conducted not only to evaluate the reliability and availability but also to recognize the vulnerabilities of the onboard systems. A sensitivity analysis is carried out for evaluating the effects of failure rates subject to uncertainties. To improve the reliability and availability, the recovery mechanism should be paid more attention. Finally, the proposed approach is validated with the field data from one railway bureau in China and some industrial impacts are provided.
