How to Build a Simple Maglev Train Model for a Research Project?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on building a simple physical model of a maglev train for a research project, emphasizing the need for mechanical structure, mathematical modeling, and simulation assistance. Participants share insights on materials, suggesting lightweight options like balsa or aluminum to reduce magnetic strength requirements. One contributor mentions previous experience simulating maglev systems in MATLAB using root-locus techniques and seeks further guidance on this method. The project aims to demonstrate functionality and support a research paper, with requests for thesis papers from established experts in the field. Overall, the conversation highlights collaboration and resource sharing for successful project development.

I am working on a project of maglev train and want to build its physical model(as simple as it works) just to give an idea that this project is in working condition and also some mathematical modeling that will help me in my research paper
So please if anyone can help me in this project I will be very thankful

Especially if anyone can give me help in mechanical structure, mathematical modeling, simulation and if anyone can provide me thesis papers of well known doctors of the world

Sounds like fun! That's one thing that I've never thought of building, but I look forward to some brainstorming about it. To start with, welcome to PF. You've come to the right place.
I can't help with any math stuff, but if I can ever manage to get to my own computer I can sketch up some stuff and post it. To start with, I'd recommend making it as light as possible (balsa, aluminum, etc.) to minimize the amount of magnetic strength required. That would include using high strength:weight ratio permanent magnets if you can afford them.

While being in college i have simulated (dynamics, stability, etc ...)a MagLev Train in Matlab using the root-locus-technique. I don't know if you know this ?

regards
marlon
 
thanks that you read my thread

now if you know about the simulation of this project then please let me know that how i can do it

yes but what technique are you using for the simulation ? What have you seen on this in class ?

i am working on the type of germany maglev system means attraction from forward side and repulsion from back side(basically it's attractive system)
if you have worked on root-locus-technique then provide it to me
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
