Abstract:The pantograph-catenary dynamic interaction problem is addressed by Hardwarein-the-Loop (HIL) tests to simulate the dynamic interaction between a numerical model (the catenary) and a physical device (the pantograph). The real-time simulation requires a computationally efficient numerical model and an on time and accurate transference of the response to the pantograph, for which a Periodic Finite Element Model (PFEM) of the catenary is considered. Firstly because of the acceptable computation time required to s… Show more
