Abstract
The levitation force in the high temperature superconducting (HTS) maglev system has obvious nonlinear characteristics. When the excitation frequency and amplitude meet certain conditions, nonlinear vibration phenomena such as period-doubling bifurcation would appear. Nonlinear vibration will bring difficulties to dynamic analysis and even affect the safety and comfort of driving. While an electromagnetic shunt damper (EMSD) can effectively reduce the vibration amplitude. This paper analyzes the influence of EMSD on the nonlinear vibration of HTS maglev systems from the perspective of experiments and simulations. Firstly, free vibration and forced vibrations in the resonance interval are tested. Secondly, based on numerical simulations, the vibration response under various excitation was analyzed. The results show that the EMSD can effectively suppress its nonlinear vibration. This research has reference value for the detailed understanding of the dynamic characteristics of the HTS maglev and further vehicle design.
