A Finite Element Model for Assessment of Maglev Vehicle/Guideway Interaction.

Abstract

A finite element methodology is presented for the assessment of the dynamic interaction between a rapidly moving magnetically levitated vehicle and its supporting guideway structure, known as vehicle/guideway interaction (VGI). The methodology is validated through comparison to two other analytical methodologies. Its application and usefulness for VGI studies are demonstrated through application to an actual maglev system design.
