Magnetically levitated (Maglev) vehicles maintain a constant air gap between guideway and car bogie, and thereby achieves non-contact riding. Since the straightness and the flatness of the guideway directly affect the stability of levitation as well as the ride comfort, it is necessary to monitor the status of the guideway and to alert the train operators to any abnormal conditions. In order to develop a signal processing algorithm that extracts guideway irregularities from sensor data, virtual testing using a simulation model would be convenient for analyzing the exact effects of any input as long as the model describes the actual system accurately. Simulation model can also be used as an estimation model. In this paper, we develop a state-space dynamic model of a maglev vehicle system, running on the guideway that contains jumps. This model contains not only the dynamics of the vehicle, but also the descriptions of the power amplifier, the anti-aliasing filter and the sampling delay. A test rig is built for the validation of the model. The test rig consists of a small-scale maglev vehicle, tracks with artificial jumps, and various sensors measuring displacements, accelerations, and coil currents. The experimental data matches well with those from the simulation model, indicating the validity of the model.

자기부상철도에서 전체 투자비의 약 70%를 차지하는 가이드웨이의 건설비를 줄이고 미관을 향상시키기 위하여 가이드웨이의 경량화가 요구된다. 그에 따라서 가이드웨이의 변형이 증가하며 그 변형에 의한 부상안정성과 안내성능 영향을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 가이드웨이의 구조물의 횡변형과 레일의 수평불규칙도에 의한 차량의 안내 특성에의 영향성 분석에 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위하여 가이드웨이 횡변형을 포함하는 3 차원 모델의 이용이 제안된다. 제안된 가이드웨이와 차량이 통합된 동적 해석 모델을 이용하여 가이드웨이 횡변형에 의한 차량의 안내특성 분석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과 가이드웨이 거더의 횡변형에 의한 효과는 미비하지만 가이드웨이 레일의 횡방향 불규칙도에 대해서는 속도에 따라 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 타당한 레일의 횡 불규칙도 설계 공차의 제한이 필요함을 알 수 있다.

고가가이드웨이를 주행하는 상전도흡인식 자기부상열차(EMS-Type Maglev)는 가이드웨이의 유연성으로 인하여 전자석 현가시스템과 동적 상호작용을 일으켜 부상공극에 영향을 미친다. 특히, 전체 건설비를 줄이기 위하여 경량화 가이드웨이를 지향하면서 시스템 설계단계부터 차량과 가이드웨이 사이의 동적상호작용 해석에 의한 심도 있는 부상공극 분석이 더욱 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 보다 정교한 차량/가이드웨이 동적상호작용 해석모델이 제안된다. 제안된 모델은 가상시제 기반의 3 차원 전체차량, 모달합성법에 의한 유연 가이드웨이 및 피드백 제어기가 포함된 부상전자석의 동적 모델들이 하나로 통합된 것이다. 제안된 모델을 도시형 자기부상열차에 적용하여 차량의 속도와 레일조도가 부상공극 및 가이드웨이에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 가이드웨이의 특성이 중저속 자기부상열차의 주행성에 미치는 영향을 파악하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위하여 자기 공극의 피드백을 포함한 2자유도 차량에 대한 운동방정식을 구성하고, 최적능동제어기법을 적용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 매개변수 연구로 차량 속도, 레일조도, 교량 처짐, 경간의 연속성, 경간장 등이 UTM-01 자기부상열차의 응답에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 해석 결과를 보면, 차량 설계속도 내에서는 차량의 응답이 크게 증가하지 않고 일정한 수준을 유지하였으며, 차량의 응답은 주로 가이드웨이 처짐에 의하여 지배를 받은 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 차량 공극의 변화를 줄여서 주행성을 향상시키려면 가이드웨이의 최대 처짐을 작게 하고, 단순거더 보다는 연속거더 구조로 구성하는 것이 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

Motion errors of linear motion guideway are analyzed theoretically in this paper. For the analysis, an new algorithm predicting motion errors of bearing and guideway is proposed using the Hertz's elastic deformation theory. Accuracy averaging effect can be calculated quantitatively by analyzing relationship between motion errors of guideway and spatial frequency of rail form error. Influences of design parameters on the motion errors including the number of balls, preload, ball diameter, bearing length and the number of bearings are analyzed. As it is difficult to measure the rail form error, experimental results are compared with results analyzed by the equivalent analysis method which evaluate the motion errors of guideway using the measured errors of bearing. From the experimental results, it is confirmed that the proposed analysis method it effective lo analyze the motion errors of linear motion bearing and guideway.

A guideway vehicle is used in automobile, semiconductor and LCD manufacturing industries to transport products efficiently. Since the operating speed of the guideway vehicle should be increased for maximum productivity, the weight of the vehicle has to be reduced. This may cause parts in the system to fail before the life of the system. Therefore estimation of the fatigue life of the parts becomes an important problem. In this study, the fatigue life of the driving wheel in the guideway vehicle is estimated using a S-N curve. To obtain the fatigue life of a part, the S-N curve, load time history applied on a driving wheel and material property are required. The S-N curve of the driving wheel is obtained using the fatigue experiment on wheels. Load time history of the wheel is obtained from multibody dynamics analysis. To obtain the material properties of the driving wheel, which is composed of aluminum with urethane coating, a compression hardware testing has been done with the static analysis of the FE model. The fatigue life prediction using computational analysis model guarantees the safety of the vehicle at the design stage of the product.

As a vehicle moves on multiple equal-span beams at constant speed, the running vehicle would be subjected to repetitive excitations from the beam vibrations under it. Once the exciting frequency caused by the vibrating beams coincides with any of the vehicle's frequencies, resonance would take place on the vehicle. A similar resonance phenomenon occurs on a beam subject to sequential moving loads with identical axle-intervals. To reduce both resonant phenomena of a vehicle moving on guideway girders, this study proposed an additional feedback controller based the condensed virtual dynamic absorber (C-VDA) scheme. This condensation scheme has the following advantages: (1) the feedback tuning gains required to adapt the control currents or voltages are directly obtained from the tuning forces of the VDA; (2) the condensed VDA scheme does not need additional DoFs of the absorber to control the vibration of the maglev-vehicle/guideway system. By decomposing the maglev vehicle-guideway coupling system into two sub-systems (the moving vehicle and the supporting girders), an incremental-iterative procedure associated with the Newmark method is presented to solve the two sets of sub-system equations. From the present studies, the proposed C-VDA scheme is a feasible approach to suppress the interaction response for a maglev vehicle in resonance moving on a series of guideway girders.

This study intends to explore dynamic interaction behaviors between actively controlled maglev vehicle and guideway girders by considering the nonlinear forms of electromagnetic force and current exactly. For this, governing equations for the maglev vehicle with ten degrees of freedom are derived by considering the nonlinear equation of electromagnetic force, surface irregularity, and the deflection of the guideway girder. Next, equations of motion of the guideway girder, based on the mode superposition method, are obtained by applying the UTM-01 control algorithm for electromagnetic suspension to make the maglev vehicle system stable. Finally, the numerical studies under various conditions are carried out to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the maglev system based on consideration of the linear and nonlinear electromagnetic forces. From numerical simulation, it is observed that the dynamic responses between nonlinear and linear analysis make little difference in the stable region. But unstable responses in nonlinear analysis under poor conditions can sometimes be obtained because the nominal air-gap is too small to control the maglev vehicle stably. However, it is demonstrated that this unstable phenomenon can be removed by making the nominal air-gap related to electromagnetic force larger. Consequently it is judged that the nonlinear analysis method considering the nonlinear equations of electromagnetic force and current can provide more realistic solutions than the linear analysis.

In the case of the monorail or maglev system, the whole guideway itself in the switching region has to be moved to allow the vehicles to change the track without stopping the run. In this paper we discuss what has to be considered in the design of the EMS type maglev guideway switches and report the development status quo of the maglev guideway switch of Korean maglev UTM-01.
