The strength design of the high-speed maglev train lacks specific methods, and analysis mainly refers to standards of traditional wheel-rail technology, which cannot meet the requirements to high-speed maglev development. An efficient structure strength evaluation method for high-speed maglev trains is proposed based on the Shanghai high-speed maglev system. The combined operation conditions are first constructed by linear superposition and combination of single operation conditions. Through the maglev train aerodynamics analysis and vehicle system dynamics, the numerical definitions of various defined conditions are completed. The structural strength and load flow analysis are accomplished by the finite element strength analysis. The test verification and actual measurements are included in the theoretical analysis. The structure strength evaluation method of high-speed maglev trains is developed to provide the better calculation method of maglev vehicle strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
