This paper presents a method for evaluating the performance of a leaf spring suspension and an air spring suspension systems for trucks in terms of ride and handling. Leaf springs, which generally have non-linear progressive force-deflection characteristics, are modeled using beam and contact elements. The leaf spring analysis model shows good correlation with experimental results. Each component of an air spring suspension system, which is a single leaf, air spring, height control valve, compressor and linkages, is modeled appropriately. Non-linear characteristics of air spring are accounted for using the measured data, and pressure and volume relations for height control system is also considered. The wheel rate of the air suspension is taken lower but roll stiffness is taken higher than those of leaf springs to improve ride and handling performance, which is verified through driving simulations.

In general Maglev (magnetically levitated vehicle) has about 4 or 5 bogies per one vehicle to improve stability of electromagnetic suspension and 4 air-spring per one bogie are to be equipped to prevent form excessive yawing and pitching motion of bogie. 3 leveling valve per one vehcile will be applied to control the height of carbody. This kind of vehicle is on the design stage, and design review will be carried out before manufacture. The suspension system of Maglev consists of 16 of air-spring, auxiliray reservoir and orifice, 3 leveling valve, which are different composition comparative to conventional rolling stock. To improve operational reliability of vehicle, additional ventilation valve will be equipped with airspring. This kind of new design concept requires fundamental design review. In this study, suspension systems of Maglev will be built as mathematical model. Then designed suspension system will be reviewed in view of various points through proposed suspension simulation.

본 연구에서는 실측 주행시험 결과데이터를 바탕으로 윤축 진동과 설계변수간의 관계를 규명하고자 2 자유도계 모델을 구성하였다. 특히 2차 현가장치인 공기스프링의 점탄성 특성을 반영하기 위해 니시무라 공기스프링 모델을 적용하였다. 수치해석 결과 내부 압력 감소 및 보조 공기탱크 체적 증가 시 객차 가속도응답이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 안정성을 헤치지 않는 범위 내에서 현가장치의 강성을 조정해 볼 필요가 있음을 알았다.

A dynamic design process was proposed for the design of the secondary suspension characteristics of a magnetically levitated vehicle(MAGLEV). It is based on a ride quality-secondary stroke trade-off. For the vertical vibration analysis, a magnetically levitated vehicle was simplified as 2 d.o.f. linear model, and FRA's class-6-track irregularities were considered as exciting disturbances. The optimum value of airspring stiffness and damping coefficient for the secondary suspension of a prototype MAGLEV was determined using this proposed design process.
