Calculation of the crosswind displacement of pantographs (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Bouferrouk, A., Baker, C., Sterling, M., O'Neil, H., & Wood, S. (2008, July). Calculation of the crosswind displacement of pantographs. Paper presented at BBAA VI International Colloquium on Bluff Bodies Aerodynamics & Applications, Milano, ItalyThe static crosswind displacements of a high speed pantograph and contact wire are studied. The aim is to assess the overall pantograph sway in crosswinds based on the relative movements of the pantograph and contact wire, taking into account the cro...

An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and weighting functions of trains (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Sterling, M., Baker, C., Bouferrouk, A., O'Neil, H., Wood, S., Pearce, W., & Crosbie, E. (2008, July). An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and weighting functions of trains. Paper presented at BBAA VI International Colloquium on Bluff Bodies Aerodynamics & Applications, Milano, ItalyIncreasing train speeds combined with the predicted reduction in the weight of new trains ensures that the effect of crosswinds on train stability is of continued interest to the rail industry. Changes in the approaching wind velocity can in turn lea... Read More about An investigation of the aerodynamic admittances and weighting functions of trains.
