Abstract

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 pantograph. Original tests have been conducted on a real catenary and damping identification shows a very low level of damping for a large frequency range. A fitted Rayleigh model and a combined modal and Rayleigh model are proposed and compared with a reference damping model found in literature as well as with the tests. Finally, the consequences on a typical contact force simulation are analysed and the most relevant model is chosen.

    A global sensitivity analysis is led on catenary parameters such as dropper lengths, height of the messenger wire at masts and mechanical tensions in the wires thanks to the Sobol indices. All parameters are defined using ...

    Pantograph/catenary interaction is known to be strongly dependent on the static geometry of the catenary, this research thus seeks to build a statistical model of this geometry. Sensitivity analyses provide a selection of ...

    Understanding the dynamic behavior of the pantograph-catenary system is crucial for design improvement, but many factors inuence the contact force, which is the main design objective. To give a proper un-derstanding of ...
