Modeling and Optimization of EMS Maglev Tracks to Avoid Track- Induced Self-Excited Vibration

Modeling and Simulation of Shanghai MAGLEV Train Transrapid with Random Track Irregularities

The MAGLEV Transrapid is a kind of new type high speed train in the world which is levitated and guided over the track using electro magnetic forces. Because the electro magnets are unstable, they have to be controlled. Since 2002 the worldwide first commercial use of such a high speed train based on German technology is running successfully in Shanghai Pudong Airport, P.R.China. In this paper ...

Application of least mean square algorithm to suppression of maglev track-induced self-excited vibration

Track induced self-excited vibration is commonly encountered in EMS (electromagnetic suspension) maglev systems, and a solution to this problem is important in enabling the commercial widespread implementation of maglev systems. Here, the coupled model of the steel track and the magnetic levitation system is developed, and its stability is investigated using the Nyquist criterion. The harmonic ...

Future Prospects for Maglev Technology Applications

This paper examines the prospects for the future of maglev technology in general. Future applications will depend on a variety of factors including the extent to which Transrapid or other maglev technologies can be proven superior to its competitors technically, environmentally, and economically. This paper will address the extent to which the potentially beneficial attributes of maglev technol...
