Pantograph-Catenary Coupling System Dynamics Analysis with Rigid-Flexible Pantograph for Straddle-Type Monorail

Mechanics
The flexible pantograph of straddle-type monorail has influence on the dynamics performance of pantograph-catenary system. This paper established a rigid-flexible pantograph-catenary-vehicle coupling dynamics model of monorail. By embedded the rigid-flexible pantograph into the vehicle dynamic analysis model, the rigid-flexible pantograph-catenary ...

Study on Phase-Change Melting Characteristics of Rigid Catenary Wires under Dynamic Separation Process

Transportation Safety and Environment
Abstract The dynamic interaction between the pantograph and the overhead conductor rail (PC) system directly affects the current collection stability of electric locomotives. Distinct from previous work centered on transient arcing behavior, this paper investigates the phase-change-induced melting and ablation characteristics of the ...
