The Effects of Load Location on Dropper Stress in a Catenary System for a High-Speed Railway

In this paper, the effects of load location on dropper stress are studied. We treat contact wire as a beam element and derive its response equation and then deduce the stress equation of dropper. A computer code based on MATLAB is written to calculate dropper stress using the finite difference metho...
