Evaluation of alternative turnout layout designs for an improved dynamic performance of a vehicle-turnout system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The turnout is the key equipment for guiding trains to change lines in railway track, which can affect the vehicle running smoothness and limit the train speed drastically. This paper proposes an optimisation method for ... -
Variation in predicting pantograph–catenary interaction contact forces, numerical simulations and field measurements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The contact force between the pantograph and the contact wire ensures energy transfer between the two. Too small of a force leads to arching and unstable energy transfer, while too large of a force leads to unnecessary ...
