Temperatures at railway tread braking. Part 1: Modelling

Last updated on 19 September 2014 12:13

A thermal model of railway tread braking is developed for use in routine calculations of wheel and brake block temperatures. Two-dimensional finite-element models of block(s) and wheel are coupled via a contact interface that controls the heat generation and also the heat partitioning between block and wheel through thermal contact...
