  • High-speed Railway Train–Track–Bridge Systems

    A Seismic Safety Technology Framework
    • 1 Edición
    • Guo Wei + 2 más
    • Inglés
    High-speed Railway Train–Track–Bridge Systems: A Seismic Safety Technology Framework systematically constructs a seismic safety technology framework for high-speed railways, focusing on three key dimensions: catastrophe simulation innovation, in-depth mechanism revelation, and implementation of prevention technologies. In catastrophe simulations, it integrates platforms such as OpenSees and SIMPACK to develop a collaborative simulation system. The book transcends the traditional limitation of modelling tracks as inertial masses by establishing, for the first time, a seismic failure model of railway tracks. For core prevention technologies, it proposes a disruptive SI (Spectral Intensity) velocity spectrum index that dynamically maps train derailment states to the responses of bridges. These results have already been applied to hundreds of bridges along the Guiyang–Guangzhou and Shanghai–Kunming high-speed railways, surviving nine strong earthquakes of magnitude 5.5 or greater. This book serves as an integrated knowledge source for both academic researchers and professional engineers: scholars will gain proficiency in the complete "experiment–simulati... research workflow; engineers can directly leverage SI velocity spectrum design metrics embedded in industry standards, improving efficiency in seismic-region bridge design; industry leaders can adapt maglev train-bridge coupled vibration test technologies to support national maglev R&D initiatives

  • Robust Model Predictive Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Under Parameter Mismatch

    • 1 Edición
    • Gongping Wu + 3 más
    • Inglés
    Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are essential in electromechanical systems like urban rail vehicles and wind power generation, thanks to their fast torque response and wide speed range. Model predictive control (MPC) offers high accuracy and dynamic response, making it suitable for PMSMs. However, MPC relies on accurate motor parameters, which may vary over time, leading to mismatches that affect performance. These mismatches can cause unstable switching frequencies and increased torque/flux ripples, becoming a common fault in PMSM systems. This book presents improved MPC methods to enhance robustness against parameter mismatches. It aims to help researchers understand advanced motor control strategies and assist engineers in applying these algorithms effectively to improve the operational performance of industrial motor systems.
