Vibration Control and Steering Performance Evaluation of Railway Vehicle Using Magnetorheological Damper

MR댐퍼를 이용한 철도 차량의 진동제어 및 조향성능 고찰

  • Published : 2008.05.20

Abstract

This paper presents yaw vibration control performances of railway vehicle featuring controllable magnetorheological damper. A cylindrical type of MR damper is devised and its damping force is evaluated by considering fluid resistance and MR effect. Design parameters are determined to achieve desired damping force level. The MR damper model is then incorporated with the governing equations of motion of the railway vehicle which includes vehicle body, bogie and wheel-set. Subsequently, computer simulation of vibration control via proportional-integral-derivative(PID) controller is performed using Matlab. Various control performances are demonstrated under external excitation by creep force between wheel and rail.
