The Dynamics of High-Speed Sliding Power Collection Systems for Electrically Propelled Vehicles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method is presented for estimating the contact force variation between a collector brush and a rigid third rail when the third rail has a surface with random irregularity. Results are ...
Railway Overhead Contact Systems, Catenary-Pantograph Dynamics for Power Collection at High Speeds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A program has been prepared for the GE-625 computer in Fortran IV language to compute the dynamic behavior of a catenary and pantograph for railroad cars moving at constant velocity. The ...
Effect of Design Changes in Railway Catenary-Pantograph Systems on Power Collection at High Speed
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Using a GE-635 computer program developed for the U.S. Department of Transportation, a study has been made of the effect of changes in the catenary-pantograph system on the quality of power ...
