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

As a common disturbance to the railway pantograph-catenary system, the crosswind may
deteriorate the current collection quality and threat operational safety. The main topic of this …

The overhead contact line is a tensioned cable structure erected along the railroad to power
the electric train. Under the wind load, the galloping of OCL caused by aerodynamic …

Most of the high-speed trains in operation today have the electrical power supply delivered
through the pantograph–catenary system. The understanding of the dynamics of this system …

In this investigation, the pantograph/catenary contact is examined using two different
formulations. The first is an elastic contact formulation that allows for the catenary/panhead …

The wind-induced vibration of the high-speed catenary and the dynamic behaviour of the
pantograph–catenary under stochastic wind field are firstly analysed. The catenary model is …

The quality of the current collection of high-speed trains is dependent on the compatibility of
the catenary and pantograph dynamics and on its implications on the contact force. The …

For electrified railways, the catenary dynamic behavior is critical to ensure a robust and
steady current collection quality for electric trains. The current collection is achieved as the …

The wind deflection of overhead contact lines (OCLs) challenges the stable and safe
operation of electrified railways. The steady wind causes the static deflection of the contact …
