Numerical heat transfer and fluid flow of wheel and tread brake shoe

Last updated on 20 September 2013 3:45

Numerical simulation is conducted to clarify heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of wheel and composition brake shoe. The over heat due to friction between wheel and brake shoe results in the hot spot on the contact surface of wheel and the thermal crack of brake shoe. Therefore, tread brake...
