Summary
In this paper, a hybrid manufacturing concept is proposed using a sandwich composite roof structure and an aluminum extrusion lightweight carbody for the 550km/h high speed maglev train. This manufacturing technique has the advantage of a good productivity, maintainability and specific stiffness and strength in comparison with a train carbody made wholly of aluminum extrusion including the roof. In order to join a composite roof to an aluminum extrusion structure by welding, a sandwich composite roof panel having aluminum extrusion-plated edges is introduced. It was found that the structural integrity of the proposed hybrid carbody satisfied the requirements assessed by numerical analysis and experiments.
