Combined with traditional passive suspension elements - dampers and springs. Inerter is shown to be capable of improving the performance, in terms of the passenger comfort, system dynamics and stability (safety), of the train suspension systems. Furthermore, a motor-driven platform is constructed to test the properties of suspension struts with inerters. © 2006 IEEE.en-USStruts; System stability; Systems analysis; Inerters; Passenger comfort; Suspension struts; Train; Suspensions (components)conference paper10.1109/CDC.2006.3776062-s2.0-39549089349http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/246694/-1/36.pdf
