Abstract
This study investigates the nonlinear vibration characteristics of a monorail vehicle equipped with tires. A 3-degree-of-freedom dynamic model of the monorail vehicle's bogie was first established. Numerical simulations identified a limit cycle in the system, manifesting as shimmy vibration in the bogie's yaw, coupled with roll motion. The trajectory equations of the limit cycle were derived, and its occurrence conditions and system equilibrium points were analyzed. The influence of key bogie parameters on the limit cycle was also examined to offer design guidance for its suppression. Additionally, the nonlinear vibration characteristics of the bogie, considering clearances between the guide wheel, stabilizing wheel, and track, revealed the presence of two limit cycles along with quasi-periodic and chaotic vibrations under boundary disturbances. Finally, it was shown that increasing yaw damping by increasing the longitudinal span of secondary lateral damper of bogie effectively suppresses self-excited vibrations and improves ride quality.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sound and Vibration (JSV) is an independent journal devoted to the prompt publication of original papers, both theoretical and experimental, that provide new information on any aspect of sound or vibration. There is an emphasis on fundamental work that has potential for practical application.
JSV was founded and operates on the premise that the subject of sound and vibration requires a journal that publishes papers of a high technical standard across the various subdisciplines, thus facilitating awareness of techniques and discoveries in one area that may be applicable in others.
