Springer Verlag, Singapore The Electrical Contact of the Pantograph-Catenary
Book SynopsisThis book covers the basic scientific theory and related application technologies of the pantograph–catenary system, including research findings on pantograph/catenary contact resistance, pantograph interface thermal effect, laws and characteristics of current-carrying friction and wear, the main research methods for pantograph arcs, the effects of arcs on pantograph systems and onboard equipment, and the materials used for pantographs and contact wires. Given its scope, it offers a valuable resource for students, scholars, and development engineers alike. The relationship between pantograph and catenary is one of the three core aspects of the safe operation of high-speed electrified railways. The pantograph system provides electric power for the high-speed train through the sliding electric contact. As the train’s operating speed increases, the pantograph system enters a state of prolonged sliding/vibration, resulting in frequent arcs, electrode erosion, and increased wear. Table of ContentsCurrent Collection Mode of High Speed Train-Pantograph Catenary System.- Electrical Contacts of Pantograph Catenary System.- Friction and Wear with Electric Current of Pantograph Catenary System,- Pantograph-catenary Arc.- Electrical contact materials of Pantograph Catenary System.- Diagnosis and detection Service Properties of Pantograph Catenary System.

Springer Verlag, Singapore If there were no Shinkansen
Book SynopsisThis book is the first book written in English about the secret story of the birth of the Shinkansen in Japan and its subsequent developments. The author, Mr.ShuichiroYamanouchi, a former chairman of East Japan Railway (JR East), addresses what the essence of Shinkansen technology is and how it could be achieved in such a short time. And the book, written based on his long experience in railway engineering and management, gives readers a bird's-eye view of the Japaneserailwayas a whole, and the technical philosophy of his great career behind it. In this book, its whole picture is clarified, that is, the world's first 200 km/h running, dealing with troubles after the opening, and development of the 300 km/h commercial operation after that, including the failure stories encountered in the process. These gave a big stimulation to the development of other high-speed railways, and this book helps readers to learn about the accumulated experiences of Japanese high-speed railways that have not been revealed so far, such as railway safety, noise against the environment, railway privatization, harmonization of management and engineering, and so forth.
