Modelling of temperatures during railway tread braking: Influence of contact conditions and rail cooling effect

Last updated on 01 August 2014 2:42

The temperature rise of wheels and blocks due to frictional heating during railway tread braking along with the transfer of heat through the wheel–rail contact is studied in this paper. In particular, heat partitioning between block, wheel and rail for stop braking cycles is considered. The wheels are of interest...
