Sumario:[EN] The pantograph-catenary dynamic interaction problem is addressed by Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) tests to simulate the dynamic interaction between a numerical model (the catenary) and a physical device (the pantograph). The real-time simulation requires a computationally efficient numerical model and an on time and accurate transference of the response to the pantograph, for which a Periodic Finite Element Model (PFEM) of the catenary is considered. Firstly because of the acceptable computation time required to solve it, makes it suitable for real-time simulations and, secondly, its ability to allow for the delay caused by the transfer of the numerical model response. The catenary PFEM we used considers the non-linear behaviour of the dropper slackening, leading to highly accurate HIL test results, which were validated up to a frequency of 25 Hz.
