Pantograph/Catenary Contact Force Control [PDF]

open access: yesVolume 6: 11th International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control, 2015
In this paper, a new continuum-based pantograph/catenary model based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) is proposed and used to develop an effective method to control the contact force which arises from the pantograph/catenary interaction.

The Effects of Spatially Distributed Damping on the Contact Force in Railway Pantograph-Catenary Interactions [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2021
According to field measurements, the damping ratio of a railway catenary varies along the span length and shows an inherent uncertainty. In numerical simulations, it is common to assume a constant damping ratio. Herein, a methodology is proposed to include the variable damping ratio of a catenary in numerical simulations of pantograph-catenary ...

Evaluation of the coupled dynamical response of a pantograph—catenary system: contact force and stresses

Vehicle System Dynamics, 2006
In this article, the static stresses in a catenary and its vibration modes are calculated by establishing the FEM model of the catenary with Euler–Bernoulli beam elements. The mode shapes of the catenary obtained are considered as the generalized variables which are used in the establishment of the motion equations of the catenary system.

An analysis method for correlation between catenary irregularities and pantograph-catenary contact force

Journal of Central South University, 2014
Pantograph-catenary contact force provides the main basis for evaluation of current quality collection; however, the pantograph-catenary contact force is largely affected by the catenary irregularities. To analyze the correlated relationship between catenary irregularities and pantograph-catenary contact force, a method based on nonlinear auto ...

Application of new optical load cells for in-line measurement of pantograph-catenary contact force [PDF]

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2013
The contact force between pantograph and catenary is a parameter needed to evaluate the quality of the dynamic interaction of the two systems. The in-line measurements of this parameter have always been very hard due to the particular work condition of pantograph and catenary.

Detection of Contact Wire Irregularities Using a Quadratic Time–Frequency Representation of the Pantograph–Catenary Contact Force

IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2016
As for the rapid expansion of high-speed electrified railway industry, the current collection quality of electric locomotives becomes one of the crucial technical issues for the stable operation of trains. The key measurement index that can characterize the quality of current collection is the contact force between the catenary and pantograph on the ...

Evolution processes of the tribological properties in pantograph/catenary system affected by dynamic contact force during current-carrying sliding

Wear, 2021
Abstract 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 between pantograph and contact wire vibrated periodically with the running of trains.

Ensemble EMD-Based Automatic Extraction of the Catenary Structure Wavelength From the Pantograph–Catenary Contact Force

IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2016
This paper explores the use of pantograph–catenary contact force (PCCF) for monitoring of the current collection quality and detection of anomalies in the interaction between pantograph and catenary. The concept of catenary structure wavelength (CSW) is proposed as the dominant component of PCCF.
