Impact of inerter nonlinearities on vehicle suspension control

This paper discusses the nonlinear properties of inerters and their impact on vehicle suspension control. The inerter was recently introduced as an ideal mechanical two-terminal element, which is a substitute for the mass element, where the applied force is proportional to the relative acceleration across the terminals. Until now, ideal inerters have been applied to vehicle, motorcycle and train suspension systems, in which significant performance improvement was achieved. However, due to the mechanical construction, some nonlinear properties of the existing mechanical models of inerters are noted. This paper investigates the inerter nonlinearities, including friction, backlash and the elastic effect, and their influence on vehicle suspension performance. A testing platform is also built to verify the nonlinear properties of the inerter model.     

The effects of wheelset driving system suspension parameters on the re-adhesion performance of locomotives

In this study, in order to examine the effects of a wheelset driving system suspension parameters on the re-adhesion performance of locomotives, the stick–slip vibration was analysed according to theoretical and simulation analysis. The decrease of the slip rate vibration amplitude improved the stability of the stick–slip vibration and the re-adhesion performance of locomotives. Increasing the longitudinal guide stiffness of the wheelset and the motor suspension stiffness were proposed as effective measures to improve the re-adhesion performance of locomotives. These results showed that the dynamic slip rate was inversely proportional to the series result of the square root of the longitudinal guide and motor suspension stiffness. The larger the motor suspension stiffness was, the smaller the required longitudinal guidance stiffness was at the same re-adhesion time once the wheel slip occurred, and vice versa. The simulation results proved that the re-adhesion time of the locomotive was approximately proportional to amplitude of the dynamic slip rate. When the stick–slip vibration occurred, the rotary and the longitudinal vibrations of the wheelset were coupled, which was confirmed by train's field tests.

高速列车机车车辆的牵引性能

在采用感应电动机作为牵引电动机时,牵引与电制动特性不仅取决于感应电动机的参数,还取决于逆变器的性能。由于逆变器无法将直流转换为一个理想的交流值,必须考虑谐波的产生以及类似问题。分析认为高速列车最显著的变化是彻底减小了运行阻力。500系新干线列车的运行阻力约是0系的一半。最新的新干线列车以300km·h-1速度运行,却比0系新干线列车甚至其他国家的高速列车耗能少。     

顶推施工中支座脱空对混凝土箱梁受力性能的影响分析

在顶推施工过程中,由于滑道高程控制不精确、施工管理不当等因素会导致支座脱空,从而导致支反力的重分布,某些支座支反力必然增加,在支撑位置附近局部应力会比较突出,所以有必要研究支座脱空对混凝土箱梁受力性能的影响。结合某预应力混凝土连续箱梁桥顶推施工实例,通过建立三维有限元实体模型,选取某工况下的支座发生脱空进行分析。计算结果表明:支座脱空对支座支反力及箱梁的局部应力影响比较大,减小了顶板受拉和底板的受压安全储备,梁体下挠位移增大,增加了摩阻力,应在施工过程中严密监控支座,避免发生支座脱空。
