Influence of the Aerodynamic Forces on the Pantograph-Catenary System for High Speed Trains
Joao Pombo,Jorge Ambrósio,Manuel Francisco Pereira,Frederico Rauter,Andrea Collina,Alan Facchinetti +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed multibody model of the catenary and the pantograph is presented for the identification of the dynamic behaviour of the pantographs and of the interaction phenomena in the catenaries of high-speed trains due to the action of aerodynamics forces.
Journal ArticleDOI
North-Gondwana assembly, break-up and paleogeography: U–Pb isotope evidence from detrital and igneous zircons of Ediacaran and Cambrian rocks of SW Iberia
TL;DR: The Estremoz Anticline in the Ossa-Morena Zone (SW Iberia) includes upper Ediacaran detrital rocks unconformably overlain by lower Cambrian carbonate and carbonate rocks as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cambrian ensialic rift-related magmatism in the Ossa-Morena Zone (Evora-Aracena metamorphic belt, SW Iberian Massif): Sm-Nd isotopes and SHRIMP zircon U-Th-Pb geochronology
Martim Chichorro,Manuel Francisco Pereira,Manuel Díaz-Azpiroz,Ian S. Williams,Carlos Fernández,Christian Pin,José Silva +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Detrital zircon from the Serie Negra sediments of the Evora-Aracena metamorphic belt, Ossa-Morena Zone, SW Iberian Massif, preserve a record of the erosion of an Avalonian-Cadomian magmatic arc and subsequent related turbiditic sedimentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The provenance of Late Ediacaran and Early Ordovician siliciclastic rocks in the Southwest Central Iberian Zone: constraints from detrital zircon data on northern Gondwana margin evolution during the late Neoproterozoic
Manuel Francisco Pereira,Ulf Linnemann,Mandy Hofmann,Martim Chichorro,Ana Rita Solá,Jorge Medina,José Silva +6 more
TL;DR: U-Pb geochronology of detrital zircon from Late Ediacaran (Beiras Group greywackes) and Early Ordovician (Sarnelhas arkosic quartzites and Armorican quartzites of Penacova) sedimentary rocks of the southwest Central Iberian Zone (SW CIZ) constrain the evolution of northern Gondwana activepassive margin transition as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rift-related volcanism predating the birth of the Rheic Ocean (Ossa-Morena zone, SW Iberia)
T. Sánchez-García,F. Bellido,Manuel Francisco Pereira,Martim Chichorro,Cecilio Quesada,Ch. Pin,José Silva +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the early and main events in the Ossa-Morena zone of SW Iberia have been interpreted to have culminated in the opening of the Rheic Ocean during the Early Ordovician.
