THEORY OF Y-SUSPENSION AND OPTIMUM CATENARIES FOR ELECTRIFIED LINES

THEORIE DES Y-BEISEILES UND OPTIMALE FAHRLEITUNGEN ELEKTRISCHER BAHNEN

This study, based on a considerable amount of literature, discusses the mathematical possibilities which would enable judgment to be formed on the design and quality of a suspension system with a contact wire below the static angle, a system which includes Y-suspensions. The study is a first step towards establishing the elastic constant of the catenary in order to obtain optimum behaviour during train-running.
