  • Modeling and Simulation of Shanghai MAGLEV Train Transrapid with Random Track Irregularities
    Modeling and Simulation of Shanghai MAGLEV Train Transrapid with Random Track Irregularities Prof. Shu Guangwei M.Sc. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reinhold Meisinger Prof. Shen Gang Ph.D. Shanghai Institute of Technology, Shanghai, P.R. China Nuremberg University of Applied Sciences, Nuremberg, Germany Tongji University, Shanghai, P.R. China Abstract The MAGLEV Transrapid is a kind of new type high speed train in the world which is levitated and gui- ded over the track using electro magnetic forces. Because the electro magnets are unstable, they ha- ve to be controlled. Since 2002 the worldwide first commercial use of such a high speed train based on German technology is running successfully in Shanghai Pudong Airport, P.R.China. In this paper modeling of the high speed MAGLEV train Transrapid is discussed, which considered the whole mechanical system of one vehicle with optimized suspension parameters and all controlled electro magnet pairs in vertical and lateral directions. The dynamical simulation code is generated with MATLAB/SIMILINK. For the design of the control system, the optimal Linear Quadratic Control for minimum control energy is used for each single electro magnet. The simulation results are presen- ted with the given vertical and lateral random track irregularities. The research work was carried out together with Prof. Shen Gang, Ph.D. during the time Prof. Dr. Meisinger was visiting professor in Shanghai 2006 and Prof. Shu Guangwei, M.Sc. was visiting profes- sor in Nuremberg 2007.

O’Brien, Chair Professor Robert Kagan Professor Katherine O’Neill Fall 2009 Navigating the Boundaries of Political Tolerance: Environmental Litigation in China © 2009 by Rachel E. Stern Abstract Navigating the Boundaries of Political Tolerance: Environmental Litigation in China by Rachel E. Stern Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Kevin J. O’Brien, Chair This is a dissertation about lawyers, judges, international NGOs and legal action in an authoritarian state. The state is contemporary China. The type of legal action is civil environmental lawsuits, as when herdsmen from Inner Mongolia sue a local paper factory over poisoned groundwater and dead livestock or a Shandong villager demands compensation from a nearby factory for the noise that allegedly killed 26 foxes on his farm. Empirically, this is a close-to-the-ground account of everyday justice and the factors that shape it. Drawing on fifteen months of field research in China, along with in-depth exploration of four cases, legal documents, government reports, newspaper articles and blog archives, this dissertation unpacks how law as litigation works: how judges make decisions, why lawyers take cases and how international influence matters.

  • The Workings of Maglev: a New Way to Travel
    THE WORKINGS OF MAGLEV: A NEW WAY TO TRAVEL Scott Dona Amarjit Singh Research Report UHM/CE/2017-01 April 2017 The Workings of Maglev: A New Way to Travel Page Left Blank ii Scott Dona and Amarjit Singh EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Maglev is a relatively new form of transportation and the term is derived from magnetic levitation. This report describes what maglev is, how it works, and will prove that maglev can be successfully constructed and provide many fully operational advantages. The different types of maglev technology were analyzed. Several case studies were examined to understand the different maglev projects whether operational, still in construction, or proposed. This report presents a plan to construct a maglev network using Maglev 2000 vehicles in the United States. A maglev system provides energy, environmental, economic, and quality of life benefits. An energy and cost analysis was performed to determine whether maglev provides value worth pursuing. Maglev has both a lower energy requirement and lower energy costs than other modes of transportation. Maglev trains have about one-third of the energy requirement and about one- third of energy cost of Amtrak trains. Compared to other maglev projects, the U.S. Maglev Network would be cheaper by a weighted average construction cost of $36 million per mile. Maglev could also be applied to convert the Honolulu Rail project in Hawaii from an elevated steel wheel on steel rail system into a maglev system. Due to the many benefits that Maglev offers and the proof that maglev can be implemented successfully, maglev could be the future of transportation not just in the United States but in the world.

The maglev train can run with low mechanical friction, low air resistance, and low noise mode at a speed exceeding 1000 km/h inside the vacuum tube regardless of weather conditions. Currently, there is no research on train-to-ground wireless communication system for vactrain. In this paper, we first summarize a list of the unique challenges and opportunities associated with the wireless communication for vactrain, then analyze the bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of vactrain’s train-to-ground communication services quantitatively. To address these challenges and utilize the unique opportunities, a leaky waveguide solution with simple architecture but excellent performance is proposed for wireless coverage for vactrains. The simulation of the leaky waveguide is conducted, and the results show the uniform phase distribution along the horizontal direction of the tube, but also the smooth field distribution at the point far away from the leaky waveguide, which can suppress Doppler frequency shift, indicating that the time-varying frequency-selective fading channel could be approximated as a stationary channel.
