The Dynamic Performance Analysis of a Low-Floor Tram Hydraulic Anti-Kink System Based on Multidisciplinary Collaboration

Abstract

According to the basic principle of the hydraulic anti-kink system and flow continuity equation, this paper takes the low-floor tram as the research object and the four vehicles as the research carrier. Based on the correlation parameters between the vehicle subsystem and the hydraulic subsystem, a co-simulation platform of a low-floor tram with hydraulic an anti-kink system is built. The co-simulation results show that the anti-kink system can well maintain the relative yaw angle consistency between the vehicle body and bogie. The anti-kink system restrains the maximum yaw angle and excessive lateral displacement of the vehicle body effectively. The consistency between the experiment results and the simulation results shows the accuracy of the model. The co-simulation model of the low-floor tram with hydraulic anti-kink system can be used to research the dynamic performance when it passes through curve line.
