From sparks to wear: Understanding arc erosion and tribological mechanisms in pantograph-catenary systems under irregular wire conditions

open access: yesFriction
The pantograph-catenary system bears the crucial task of supplying electrical energy to high-speed trains. However, as train speeds continue to increase, irregularities in the contact wire exacerbate vibrations within the pantograph-catenary system ...

Damping characterization of a high speed train catenary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Catenary damping has long been a tuning parameter in pantograph-catenary dynamic interaction models. As the computed contact force is highly sensitive to the choice of damping model or coefficients, it became critical to measure it independently of the ...
