A Three-Dimensional Calculation for Dynamic Pantograph-Catenary Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dynamic pantograph-catenary interaction is one of the most critical aspects to consider in catenary design, especially in high-speed rails. It is essential to maintain a constant power transmission in order to achieve high speeds and avoid the production of electric arcs, which damage the wires. This paper shows a tool, called InDiCa 3D, based on a three-dimensional model to solve the dynamic pantograph-catenary interaction in a efficient way, which allows the calculation of the effect of wind on the catenary, which is not possible in a two-dimension model, making the process of catenary design more accurate.

In this paper a user-friendly environment for the representation of the dynamic results on the pantograph-catenary interactions is presented. This environment consists of an interactive interface for the representation of graphics and another for the representation of video. By means of the first interface for the representation of graphics, the user can interact with the different graphic repr...
متن کاملMultiple Pantograph Interaction with Catenaries in High-Speed Trains
This work presents a fully three-dimensional methodology for the computational analysis of the interaction between catenary and pantographs. The finite element method is used to support the modeling of the catenary while a multibody dynamics methodology is applied to support the pantograph modeling. The contact between the two subsystems is described using a penalty contact formulation. An high...

Pantograph current collectors, especially for high-speed trains, need to ensure safe contact with the catenary under stringent requirements on the dynamic contact force. A novel, high-dynamic pantograph test rig with accurate virtual catenary emulation is presented that allows for efficient, realistic, and reproducible testing. The complex dynamics of the pantograph/catenary interaction is mode...
متن کاملPantograph-catenary Dynamic Interaction for a Overhead Line Supported by Noise Barrier
Subject of the paper is a particular configuration of overhead line, in which noise barrier structure is used as supports of the catenary instead of standard poles. This configuration is foreseen in case the noise barrier position is in conflict with the poles location. If the catenary is supported by the noise barrier, the motion that the latter undergo due to wave pressure associated to train...
متن کاملHigh-speed railway pantograph and catenary dynamic simulation system modelling and verification
The dynamic simulation system of a pantograph and a catenary has been built by using the finite element method, in which the pantograph is equivalent to a threemass-damper-stiffness system and the catenary contains only cable and beam elements. Considering droppers as nonlinear elements only stressed by tension, a sliding contact model of the pantograph and catenary is coupled by penalty functi...
