Abstract

The chapter deals with the investigation of the magnetically-levitated (MAGLEV) trains. To start with, a study statement is carried out with emphasis on an historical overview of such technology and on the classification of MAGLEV trains with respect to several criteria. Giving the fact that the main issue of MAGLEV technology is the levitation, a special attention is paid to the classification according to the suspension system. Doing so, the electromagnetic suspension (EMS) and electrodynamic suspension (EDS) systems are deeply investigated. Indeed, considering EMS two electromagnet configurations are studied which are: (i) flat track with U-shaped core electromagnet and (ii) U-shaped track with U-shaped core electromagnet, for which the produced magnetic forces and the state equations are derived. For the EDS technology, two systems are considered which are: (i) a moving coil over conducting sheet and (ii) moving coil facing figure-eight null-flux coil. Such concepts are studied with emphasis on the levitation as well as the guidance forces.
