Absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) is a nonincremental nonlinear finite element
procedure that has been successfully applied to the large deformation analysis of multibody …

In this survey paper, we comprehensively examine the ongoing research concerning the
interaction between pantographs and catenaries, a vital aspect in ensuring uninterrupted …

This paper evaluates the railway catenary's wind deflection under crosswind based on wind
tunnel experiments and a nonlinear finite element model. A catenary model is constructed …

This paper aims to provide an overview of the present status of research in pantograph–
overhead line interaction and to outline future research challenges. A review of currently …

In high-speed rail operations, the irregularity of the overhead system is a typical disturbance
that affects the pantograph-catenary interaction performance. The existing methods, which …

High-speed trains (HSTs) have the advantages of comfort, efficiency, and convenience and
have gradually become the mainstream means of transportation. As the operating scale of …

Active control of pantograph is a promising approach in improving the current collection
quality of high-speed railway pantograph-catenary system. To address the shortcomings of …

This paper proposes a new locking alleviation technique for absolute nodal coordinate
formulation (ANCF) beam and plate elements based on a strain split approach. The paper …

Overhead conductor rail (OCR) is an important power supply device in tunnel railway lines.
The penalty method is widely adopted to model the dynamic interaction behaviour of the …

The pantograph-catenary system is used in modern electrified railways to power electric
trains. Common sense is that the increase of train speed leads to a deterioration of the …
