Both the formulation of a nonlinear dropper and the proper implementation of a time-integration method are proposed for the finite element method (FEM) of pantograph-overhead contact line dynamics. The FEM models for a pantograph, overhead contact lines and dynamic interaction between a pantograph and overhead contact lines are validated step by step, by comparing simulated results with measured results. The dynamic responses of overhead contact lines to a moving pantograph, relevant to geometrically nonlinear droppers, are presented. Simulated vertical displacements agree well with measured displacements in a contact wire with the sag-to-span ratio of 1:2000. Thus, the simulations represent the effect of the sag on the dynamic response of overhead contact lines. For the thorough validation of pantograph-overhead contact line simulations, the simulated strains in a contact wire were compared with measurements. In previous studies, the simulated strains have not been validated using measurements taken when a pantograph passes. Simulations in this study agreed with the measurements in terms of maximum values and global shape.
