Temperatures at railway tread braking. Part 2: calibration and numerical examples

Last updated on 19 September 2014 12:13

Temperatures in wheels and brake blocks at railway tread braking are studied under brake rig conditions. Results from rig experiments are reported for drag braking at constant brake power for brake blocks made of cast iron and of sinter and composite materials. The influence of block configuration, brake power, and...
