Dynamic simulations of pantograph catenary interaction are nowadays essential for improving the
performance of railway locomotives, by achieving better current collection at higher speeds and lower
wear of thecollecting ...
[EN] The overhead contact line or catenary is the structure composed of support elements and wires responsible for the power supply of the locomotive through sliding contact with
the pantograph. This contact causes wear ...
