Summary
Interest in high speed ground transportation systems results In correspondingly increased Interest in modeling and simulation of the dynamic behavior of vehicle systems. MEDYNA is a program especially well suited for the analysis of rail- guided vehicles: conventional railways, as well as magnetically levitated vehicles. This paper demonstrates the application of MEDYNA to the control law design and to the performance evaluation of such advanced vehicles. A brief description is made of the modeling requirements of magnetically levitated systems, along with a summary of some of the related capabilities of MEDYNA. As a case study, analysis of a vehicle based on the German TRANSRAPID system is presented. System matrices of a simplified vehicle model are established, and control design is performed with the aid of MATLAB. Finally, performance evaluation is studied with a complex model of the TRANSRAPID vehicle and elastic guideways.
