The pantograph–catenary system (PCS) vibration causes the pantograph–catenary contact
force (PCCF) to fluctuate, deteriorating current collection quality and damaging the electrical …

This paper evaluates the railway catenary's wind deflection under crosswind based on wind
tunnel experiments and a nonlinear finite element model. A catenary model is constructed …

The interaction performance of the pantograph-catenary is of great importance as it directly
determines the current collection quality and operational safety of trains. The finite element …

The effect of two common types of short-wavelength irregularities (local imperfections and
periodic short-wavelength irregularities) of the railway catenary on the pantograph–catenary …

DSA200 pantograph and CH160 catenary are being in service in China on SS7 electric
locomotive. Dynamic study of the pantograph/catenary system found that the contact force …

This paper examines the dynamic performance of the pantograph passing through an
overlap section of the catenary system, using a China's high speed railway with the 4-span …

Catenary–pantograph contact force is generally used for assessment of the current
collection quality. A good current collection quality not only increases catenary lifetime but …

Pantograph hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing is an experimental method in which a
physical pantograph is excited by an actuator which reproduces the movement of a virtual …

Fractional‐order calculus has exclusive advantages in modeling the viscoelastic
components with obvious fractional‐order characteristics such as air springs and metal …

The train operating speed is traditionally limited to lower than 0.7 times the critical speed of
the catenary. The material's strength limits the tensile forces of the tension wires, preventing …
