- course website, wiki
- high-speed trains
German transrapid (electromagentic attraction)
Japanese MAglev (electrodynamic repulsion)
Grench TGV (wheel on rail)
Vu Quoc and Olsson 1989 CMAME
vehicle/structure interaction, where vehicle is the high speed maglev and the structure is the the flexible guideway

nominal position of wheel (w/o guideway definition)
, horizontal coordinate
axial deformation (displacement) of guideway, where
is the time parameter
transverse deformation (displacement) of guideway
, where := means equal by definition (non symmetric)
NOTE:
and def are symbols (no direction)
means A is defined by B
means B is defined by A
