The Reach for Car-body Static Strength Design and Experiment of Midlow Speed Magnetic Levitation Train

There is no specific specification or provision for the magnetic levitation car-body static strength because of the special structure. The designers always apply the EN12663 P-IV for the static strength calculation and simulation nowadays, however, whether it is true or not, we still need to be demonstrated. This article is aiming to theoretical analysis and calculation for the static strength through modeling, and ensuring experiment types and methods according to the EN12663 and the theoretical analysis result. And finally, this article demonstrate the rightness through the experiment to ensure that it is reasonable for the magnetic levitation car-body static strength with the mid-low speed.
