Lower Boundary Condition Effects on LIM (Linear Induction Motors) Reaction Rail Mechanical Behavior: Analysis and Experiments.

摘要

Comparison of analytical results with field experiments conducted at Lomita,California,has shown that the lateral behavior of the LIM reaction rail is strongly influenced by the type of boundary conditions used in the analysis along the lower rail edge. An earlier MITRE analysis utilizing a thin plate with a continuously clamped lower edge is improved by adding a base flange with lateral and torsional rigidity which is discretely clamped at the crossties only. Good agreement between theory and experiments is obtained. (Author)
