Modelling and control of railway vehicle suspensions
chapter
posted on 2009-03-16, 16:57 authored by Argyrios C. Zolotas, Roger GoodallThis chapter uses a railway vehicle as an example of a mechanical dynamic
system to which control can be applied in a manner that yields significant
benefits from an engineering and operational viewpoint. The first part describes
the fundamentals of railway vehicles and their dynamics: the normal
configuration, the suspension requirements, how they are modelled and an
overview of the types of control concept that are currently applied or under
consideration. The second part provides a case study of controller design
issues.
