Abstract Electrodynamic (EDS) type suspension is appropriate for a high-speed maglev train as control is not essential to levitate a train. However, the trains might oscillate large in the vertical direction since there is no control for the EDS type maglev train. Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) is used to propel trains as it can generate large propulsion force with high efficiency. LSM generate periodic, not uniform, Electromagnetic (EM) force and it cause vertical and lateral vibration. Therefore, EM forces acting on a maglev vehicle should be investigated to determine the vibration characteristics of a high-speed maglev train. An excitation force on bogies is nonlinearly changed by air gap between ground coils and magnets on bogies. Therefore, relative position of guide and a bogie could be defined to contracting time variant excitation force. The study focuses on verifying vertical and lateral vibration due to LSM that makes repeating propulsion force to a maglev vehicle. We made a transient 3-D EM analysis model that could simulate levitation and guidance force of a maglev vehicle. The model was constructed based on straight rail of the conventional maglev system, L0 series in Japan. We compared the simulation results, levitation, and guidance forces on single ground coil, with another study results. Also, total EM forces on a bogie in simulation results was compared with real track experimental results of another study. We could evaluate ride comport and running stability using our transient EM force by coupling with rigid body simulation.

When two maglev trains travel in opposite directions on two adjacent tracks, train crossingis inevitable. Especially when both trains run at full speed, the pressure wave formed by each otherwill have a significant impact on the structure of the vehicle. Therefore, it is important to understandthe pressure distribution on the body surface during the crossing to mitigate impact of the pressurewave. In this work, numerical simulation techniques are employed to reveal the nature of pressurewave during train crossing. Firstly, the aerodynamic load calculation model and the pressure wavecalculation model are established, based on the turbulence model and flow field control equation.Secondly, the governing equations are discretized together with determined correspondingboundary conditions, which leads to an effective numerical analysis method. Finally, thecorresponding aerodynamic analysis is carried out for the high-speed maglev test vehicle runningat speed 500 km/h on the open-air line. The simulation results reveal that the spot which sustainsthe most pressure fluctuation is at the widest part of the vehicle during the train crossing. This formsvaluable insights on the aerodynamic nature of high-speed maglev train and provides necessaryinputs to the structural design of the vehicle.

This method can also make modeling and simulation on quite complex circuits, power electronic conversion system, and electric drive automatic control system. The systematic modeling is very similar to the design process of the actual system. Users can get the simulation results of the system quickly without programming and the deduction of mathematical models of circuits and systems. The analysis on the simulation results can transform the system structure or modify relevant parameters in order to make the system get the required results and performance, which can greatly accelerate the analysis or design process of the system.

This study presents a framework for dynamic analysis of a coupled system of high-speed maglev train and curved viaduct. A series of trajectory coordinates are used to define the motion of maglev vehicles moving over a horizontally curved track, the stiffness and damping matrices of the equations can be thus reduced into those of the straight track. The curved viaduct system is modeled in the global coordinate system using the finite element method, in which the inner and outer rails in the different horizontal planes are duly included. The electromagnet force-air gap model is adopted for the maglev vehicle via its electromagnets and rails on the viaduct, by appropriate transformation of coordinates. By applying the proposed framework to the Shanghai maglev line, curved path-induced dynamic responses and characteristics of the vehicle are explored, which agree well with the measurement ones. The dynamic responses of the curved viaduct are also examined in the vertical, lateral and rotational directions by comparison with the straight viaduct. Moreover, the effect of various curve radii and cant deficiencies on the coupled system are investigated. The results show that for a maglev vehicle moving with an initial equilibrium state, its lateral and rotational response are mainly excited by track roughness. In addition to the track radius, cant deficiencies significantly affect the operational safety of the viaduct.

In the case of long-stator linear drive, unlike rotative drives for which speed or position sensors are a single unit attached to the shaft, these sensors extend along the guideway. The position signals transmitted from maglev vehicle can’t meet the need of the real-time propulsion control in the on-ground inverter power substations. In this paper the design of the propulsion inverter control system with a position estimator for driving long-stator synchronous motor in high speed maglev train is proposed. The experiments have been carried out at the 150m long guideway in O-song test track. To investigate the performance of the position estimator, the propulsion control system with and without the position estimator are compared. The result confirms that the proposed strategy can meet the dynamic property need of propulsion inverter control system for driving long-stator linear synchronous motors

With the advantages of high speed, low noise and high efficiency, the electromagnetic suspension (EMS) type maglev train has a good prospect in railway transportation. It is based on the long stator linear synchronous motor (LSLSM). However, due to cogging effect, end effect and the harmonics in the stator current and flux density distribution around the air-gap, the thrust generated by the LSLSM fluctuates. The thrust ripple brings noise, drop of control accuracy, even causes the resonance of train. In this paper, the thrust ripple produced by the cogging effect and flux linkage harmonics is analyzed. Then a method of harmonic current injection is proposed to compensate cogging force and reduce the thrust ripple, without influence the decoupling control of traction and suspension system. The injected current harmonics are controlled under multiple rotating reference frames independently. Finally, based on voltage equations of harmonics, the decoupled harmonic current controllers with harmonic voltage feedforward are designed, which improve the performance of current harmonics response and thrust ripple suppression. Simulation results on Simulink verify the effectiveness of proposed thrust ripple suppression method for LSLSM.

In this paper, we investigate the hydrodynamics of swimmers with three caudal fins: a round one corresponding to snakehead fish ( Channidae), an indented one corresponding to saithe ( Pollachius virens), and a lunate one corresponding to tuna ( Thunnus thynnus). A direct numerical simulation (DNS) approach with a self-propelled fish model was adopted. The simulation results show that the caudal fin transitions from a pushing/suction combined propulsive mechanism to a suction-dominated propulsive mechanism with increasing aspect ratio ( AR). Interestingly, different from a previous finding that suction-based propulsion leads to high efficiency in animal swimming, this study shows that the utilization of suction-based propulsion by a high- AR caudal fin reduces swimming efficiency. Therefore, the suction-based propulsive mechanism does not necessarily lead to high efficiency, while other factors might play a role. Further analysis shows that the large lateral momentum transferred to the flow due to the high depth of the high- AR caudal fin leads to the lowest efficiency despite the most significant suction.

The problem of springback is one of the most significant factors affecting the forming accuracy for aluminum 3D stretch-bending parts. In order to achieve high-efficiency and high-quality forming of such kind of structural components, the springback behaviors of the AA6082 aluminum profiles are investigated based on the flexible multi-points 3D stretch-bending process (3D FSB). Firstly, a finite element simulation model for the 3D FSB process was developed to analyze the forming procedure and the springback procedure. The forming experiments were carried out for the rectangle-section profile to verify the effectiveness of the simulation model. Secondly, the influence of tension on springback was studied, which include the pre-stretching and the post-stretching. Furthermore, the influences of the bending radius and bending sequence are revealed. The results show that: (1) The numerical model can be used to evaluate the effects of bending radius and process parameters on springback in the 3D FSB process effectively. (2) The pre-stretching has little effect on the horizontal springback reduction, but it plays a prominent role in reducing the springback in the vertical direction. (3) The increase of bending deformation in any direction will lead to an increase of springback in its direction and reduce the springback in the other direction. Besides, it reduces the relative error in both directions simultaneously. This research established a foundation to achieve the precise forming of the 3D stretch-bending parts with closed symmetrical cross-section.
