A principal limitation of passive dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) lies in its intrinsic design
constraint, as it is tuned to a specific resonant frequency, rendering it less effective at …

Purpose The abnormal vibration of the light rail vehicle (LRV) has always limited the further
improvement of the ride comfort, one of which is caused by multi-module coupling vibration …

Parameter optimization of equipment suspended under the carbody underframe is one of
the important measures to suppress carbody vibration of high-speed trains. Previous work …

Semi-active suspensions are seen as a promising technology to improve ride quality in high-
speed railway vehicles as they provide substantial benefits not achievable through an …

This paper analyses the dynamic behavior of a rail vehicle using experimental and
simulation analysis on a multi-rigid–flex body model. The mathematical models are …

Carbody vibration control and ride comfort improvement are important research parts of high-
