Abstract:

Passenger ride comfort is an important factor in railway vehicle services. However, passenger ride comfort is sometimes affected by the vibrations resulting from the track irregularities. It will be critical when the track is exposed to prolonged sun’s heat and lack of track maintenance. This means that the optimization of passive suspension parameters alone could not cope with these cases. Semi-active suspension system for railway vehicles has been developed as a way to solve these problems. The technology of semi-active suspension is widely used especially in the railway vehicle application. Magnetorheological (MR) damper is one of the applications of the concept of semi-active suspension. However, there are a variety of criteria for MR dampers based on usage. To meet the requirements of railway vehicle suspension system, a MR damper have been developed. The criteria for the MR damper are obtained experimentally. Then, the model for the MR damper is developed using Interpolated Sixth Order Polynomial and validated by experimental. The MR damper model has shown improvement, especially in the railway vehicle dynamics performance.
