Guideway and turnout switch for the SupraTrans project
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper will deliver insight into technology and physics of the levitation system for the SupraTrans project, a prototype of a superconducting transportation system. The technology used herein bases on the flux pinning in melt-textured bulk YBa2Cu3O7−X (YBCO) that stabilizes the lateral and the vertical position of the vehicle above the magnetic track. A track made from permanent magnets and soft magnetic steel-yokes acting as flux collectors has been designed and its capability is presented. The concept also includes a fast electromagnetic turnout switch to establish a highly branched transportation network.

Evaluating the Structural Behavior of Turnout Sleepers in the Case of Raising Speed
In this research, the structural behavior of timber and concrete sleepers in a standard railway turnout is evaluated, in the case of raising speed. In approaching this evaluation, current practices in the structural analysis of sleepers are surveyed and then, the sensitivity analysis with ABAQUS software is made based on selected criteria (bending and shear stresses as well as contact pressure)...
متن کاملController Design for Commercial Maglev Vehicle
An electromagnetic levitation controller design considering guideway deflection is presented. Even though to design a maglev controller to make a vehicle steady suspension under guideway deflection is a key technology in maglev vehicle system, the vehicle-guideway interaction effects haven’t well explored and yet settled. Unlike most approaches based on the linear model, a maglev controller is ...

MagneMotion and Old Dominion University undertook a cooperative agreement to demonstrate the MagneMotion M3 urban maglev technology on an existing elevated guideway on the ODU campus in Norfolk VA. M3 was designed for urban applications with speeds up to 100 mph, acceleration up to 1.6 m/s2, and a 60 foot turn radius. Figure 1 shows the “sled” vehicle on the ODU guideway. This vehicle was weigh...

Measuring sensitivity of hydraulic structures is considered as an approach for evaluation of water projects performance, due to lower distribution efficiency in Irrigation and Drainage project schemes. Sensitivity analysis approach for irrigation structures is one of flow analysis methods which are developed in recent years in order to measure the behavior of flow in hydraulic structures in an ...
متن کاملHopf Bifurcation of Maglev System with Coupled Elastic Guideway
In this paper, the dynamical behavior of single magnet suspension system of maglev train considering the elastic guide-way is researched through HOPF bifurcation theory. With three states feedback variables (gap, current, velocity), the HOPF bifurcation conditions and corresponding vibration frequency of the coupled system is presented under different flexible guideway conditions, that is, the ...
