High speed operation of conventional rail vehicles is limited by a number of dynamic problems including ride quality, curve negotiation, and hunting. Active control is investigated as a technique for improving rail vehicle performance at high speeds. An automatic controller of specified configuration and structure is defined based on the physics of the wheel-rail interaction dynamics which allow a decomposition of dynamic constraints into selected frequency bands and a methodology for selecting the controller parameters is presented. Two controller case studies are examined to demonstrate the effectiveness of controller configuration on rail vehicle performance in terms of ride quality and tracking errors on tangent track while allowing specified curve negotiation requirements to be met. Estimates of control power requirements are also obtained which show that the controller configurations considered produce improvements in vehicle performance—reduction of rms vehicle accelerations by a factor of between 5 and 6 and reduction of rms tracking errors by a factor of between 4 and 5—with modest expenditures of control—power between 1.5 and 2 kw per truck at a vehicle speed of 68.58m/s.

The frequency of turbulent macroinstability occurrence was measured in liquids agitated in a cylindrical baffled vessel. As it has been proved by preceding experimental results of the authors, the stochastic quantity with frequency of occurrence of 10-1 to 100 s-1 is concerned. By suitable choosing the viscosity of liquids and frequency of impeller revolutins, the region of Reynolds mixing numbers was covered from the pure laminar up to fully developed turbulent regime. In addition to the equipment making it possible to record automatically the macroinstability occurrence, also the visualization method and videorecording were employed. It enabled us to describe in more detail the form of entire flow field in the agitated system and its behaviour in connection with the macroinstability occurrence. It follows from the experiments made that under turbulent regime of flow of agitated liquids the frequency of turbulent macroinstability occurrence is the same as the frequency of the primary circulation of agitated liquid.

This paper studies problematic of a mechanical system composed of different coupled parts submitted to a high speed shock and proposes analysis of anti vibratory passive and active methods based on an experimental and theoretical coupled approach. After a shock, different parts of the system oscillate. If one of them is excited at a particular frequency, such as its proper frequency, important oscillations appear and can lead to the deterioration of the system by introducing important stresses. In this paper, we propose an analysis in order to understand this kind of problem and what we can do to avoid it. Firstly, we discuss problematic and we expose the studied system. In a second time, we develop two approaches of modeling that allow us to understand the phenomenon by carrying out numerical simulations. Then cross checking of model is completed via experimental study on drop test bench. Passive minimization method of vibrations based on experimental and theoretical coupled approach is exposed. Finally, a comparative analysis of different methods of control and experimental results of controlled system are presented.
