Abstract

High-temperature superconducting (HTS) maglev system, based on the magnetic flux pinning characteristic of non-ideal type II superconductors, can realize self-stable above permanent magnets. HTS maglev possesses the advantages of low-energy consumption, simple mechanical structure and environment-friendly, which make it an ideal high-speed transportation mode. When an HTS maglev vehicle crosses a ramp, the levitation height will fluctuate due to the rapid change of the track curve, which may affect the safety and stability of the system. In this paper, first, a levitation force model was obtained based on experimental data. Based on this model, a dynamic model of the HTS maglev vehicle-bridge coupled system was established. The dynamic response of the maglev train was simulated and analyzed when it operated through track grade change points under different track slopes, vertical curve radii and speeds. The influence of these parameters on the stability of the system was investigated, and the optimized design parameters for the vehicle and the track slope are proposed as well. This study provides references for the future engineering development of HTS maglev transportation.
