Abstract
To improve the operational adaptability of high-speed trains, a control method is proposed to mitigate carbody lateral vibration by leveraging the dynamic vibration absorption effect of multi-suspended equipment. A comprehensive analysis of five typical wheel/rail contact relationships, closely related to vehicle operational status in the long-term service, is conducted and incorporated into the established rigid-flexible coupling dynamic model. Based on the proposed improved niche genetic algorithm (INGA), an objective function, which holistically assesses the vibration of the carbody and suspended equipment, is constructed to undertake the optimization analysis. The results show that the dynamic vibration absorption effect of the suspended equipment proves effective in controlling carbody lateral vibration, thereby enhancing operational adaptability. However, the improvement in vehicle performance varies under different operating conditions, influenced by the competitive relationship between multiple control objectives. While carbody lateral vibration performance could be further improved without considering equipment vibration tolerance, such improvements are limited, indicating that it is reasonable and necessary to consider equipment vibration tolerance in the research of carbody vibration control. This study furnishes valuable insights for improving the adaptability of high-speed train operations and provides ideas for further research on carbody vibration control using the suspended equipment.
