The aim of this work is to introduce a new concept for a hydraulic semi-active yaw damper (SAYD) for the improvement of the stability of a high-speed rail vehicle. This concept represents a further elaboration of Secondary Yaw Control but envisages the use of semi-active hydraulic dampers instead of full-active electromechanical dampers, simplifying the design of the system and facilitating the design of a safe and fault tolerant device. Two control algorithms are proposed for the semi-active damper: maximum power point tracking and skyhook with Karnopp approximation. A multi-physics model of the SAYD is introduced and used in co-simulation with a multi-body model of a high-speed vehicle. Using these models, numerical simulations are performed to assess the behaviour of the semi-active damper in terms of improving the running stability of the rail vehicle at very high speed, showing that the use of the SAYD in combination with any of the two control strategies considered allows to improve substantially the stability of the vehicle. The results of experimental investigations performed in the project will be reported in a companion paper.
