Since the concept of active suspensions appeared, its large possible benefits has attracted
continuous exploration in the field of railway engineering. With new demands of higher …

The rail–wheel interaction in a rail vehicle running at high speed results in large amplitude
vibration of carbody that deteriorates the ride comfort of travellers. The role of suspension …

This article presents vibration control performances of a semi-active railway vehicle
suspension system using a magneto-rheological damper tested on the roller rig. In order to …

Many publications show that the ride comfort of a railway vehicle can be significantly
improved using a semi-active damping control of the lateral secondary dampers. However …

A 9-kN magneto-rheological (MR) damper for lateral suspension control of a railway vehicle
is created in this paper. The twin-tube style is adopted in order to obtain a long damper …

As train operating speeds increase, upgrading the performance of the railway vehicle has
been required. To improve the ride comfort related to vibration, researches to replace the …

The active lateral suspension (ALS) of a train consists of either active or semi-active
technologies. However, such an active system on a real railway vehicle is not easy to test …

It is generally accepted that semi-actively (S/A) controlled dampers can significantly improve
the behaviour of a road or rail vehicle. In the case of a railway vehicle, it is possible to …

A semi-active virtual tuned mass damper (SAVTMD) control algorithm is developed to
suppress vibrations of a railway vehicle by using magneto-rheological (MR) damper. To this …

Many publications have shown that semi-actively controlled dampers could significantly
improve the behaviour of a road or rail vehicle. In the case of a railway vehicle, these …
