Maglev Vehicle System Dynamics (Abstract of the Ph.D. Thesis)

In the past thirty years, the research and development (RD) in maglev technology has made great progress. Nowadays, German electromagnetic suspension (EMS) maglev train TR08, Japanese electrodynamic suspension maglev train MLX01 and HSST100 (EMS) are ready for revenue operation. In China the key technology of electromagnetic suspension and guidance was already in shape as a result of the RD on low speed EMS maglev vehicle as early as the 1980s, and a few low speed EMS maglev demonstration lines have been constructed in the last few years. The dynamic performance of the surface transport vehicle plays an important role in the system technological economic and application prospects. So the investigation on maglev vehicle system dynamics in this dissertation is just in time and important for the theoretical study and engineering application of the maglev transport technology in China.
