Analysis of HST Power Car wheel during an emergency brake application from 200 km/h with braking effort divided in varying proportions between tread and discs (TM-EA-30)

This report describes the use of the NEWPAC finite element program to analyse the wheel from the HST Power Car under thermal loading representing an emergency stop brake. The effects of sharing the braking effort in various proportions between the wheel mounted disc brakes and wheel tread are examined. Details...
