MOTION CHARACTERISTICS OF MAGNETICALLY LEVITATED VEHICLE

The lateral roll motions of the magnetic-levitation test vehicle for the Miyazaki test track are investigated. There are three problems: (1) the effects of magnetic damping; (2) the effects of the height of the vehicle's center of gravity; (3) the effects of the guideway configuration. Center of gravity height and guideway design have greatest influence on the coupling of lateral and roll motions. If magnetic damping is large enough, small coupling is desirable; other facets of this problem are investigated also.
