✦ Synopsis

This paper contains a new algorithm for the solution of the dynamic displacement of an elastic guideway (single and multiple-span) as it interacts with a vehicle with an air cushion suspension. Illustrative examples are given comparing the solutions for dynamic displacements of the system when the vehicle is modeled as a moving force, as a moving mass or as a true air cushion system, all inertial effects being considered.
