Improving the Dynamic Characteristics of the Pantograph Using the Sensitivity Analysis

동적 민감도 해석을 이용한 판토그래프의 동특성 개선

In this paper, the dynamic response of the pantograph system that supplies electrical power to a high-speed rail vehicle were investigated. The analysis of the catenary based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) is executed to develop a pantograph fits well in high-speed focused on the dynamic characteristic analysis of the pantograph system. By simulation of the pantograph-catenary system, the static deflection of the catenary, the stiffness variation in contact lines, the dynamic response of the catenary undergoing constant moving load and the contact force analysis were executed. In order to consider the design variables that effects on the dynamic characteristic of the pantograph system performed the dynamic sensitivity analysis. From the pantograph-catenary analysis, the design parameters of a pantograph could be improved. From the results of the sensitivity analysis, a pantograph with improved parameters is suitable for a high-speed rail vehicle from the design-parameter analysis.
