K. Yoshida et al., DECOUPLED-CONTROL OF LEVITATION AND PROPULSION IN UNDERWATER LM CAR ME02, Mathematics and computers in simulation, 46(3-4), 1998, pp. 239-256
The Marine-Express (ME) which is an amphibious superconducting Maglev
train can run both on land and under the water. A unique method for le
vitation and propulsion for the ME which can be applied independently
of train speeds has been proposed. The method is based on a new combin
ed levitation-and-propulsion due to lift and thrust forces of linear s
ynchronous motor (LSM) and can be carried out by the decoupled-control
method proposed here. ME02 is the second experimental model of a uniq
ue LSM car designed to travel underwater based on the new theory. ME02
is a simulator for the ME running on land and underwater The decouple
d-control method is verified from dynamics simulations in ME02. (C) 19
