2. 1. Thermal impact on rolling contact fatigue of railway wheels

   Author : Sara Caprioli; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railway wheels; Thermomechanical finite element analysis; Frictional rolling contact; Thermal fracture; Tread braking; Rolling contact fatigue;

   Abstract : Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is a very common and costly damage mechanism for rails and wheels. This thesis investigates the influence of combined thermal and mechanical loading on RCF of railway wheels on the basis of numerical predictions. READ MORE

4. 2. Thermal Capacity of Railway Wheels - Temperatures, residual stresses and fatigue damage with special focus on metro applications

   Author : Shahab Teimourimanesh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; railway tread braking; finite element analysis; frictional heating; fatigue damage; metro trains; rig field experiments; railway wheels; stop braking; temperatures;

   Abstract : Tread (block) braking is still one of the most common braking systems on railway vehicles.The action is carried out by pressing brake blocks against the tread of a wheel, which is also inrolling contact with the rail. READ MORE

5. 3. Railway tread braking temperatures - Numerical simulation and experimental studies

   Author : Shahab Teimourimanesh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; railway tread braking; finite element analysis; railway wheels; rail chill; hot spots; frictional heating; heat partitioning; metro; field experiment; rig experiment;

   Abstract : Tread (block) braking is still one of the most common braking systems on railway vehicles. The action is carried out by pressing brake blocks against the tread of a wheel, which is also in rolling contact with the rail. READ MORE

6. 4. Thermomechanical behaviour of tread braked wheels

   Author : Eric Landström Voortman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermomechanical analysis; high temperature testing; thermal analysis; full-scale brake rig testing; tread braking; Railway wheels; finite element analysis;

   Abstract : Tread brakes, also known as block brakes, are a type of friction brakes commonly used in the railway industry. They are a low-cost and low-maintenance solution compared to more complicated systems such as disc brakes or electrodynamic brakes. READ MORE

7. 5. Tread Braking of Railway Wheels - Noise-related Tread Roughness and Dimensioning Wheel Temperatures

   Author : Tore V Vernersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rail chill; block material; temperature; heat partitioning; railway; corrugation; thermoelastic analysis; tread braking; noise;

   Abstract : Block braking is a commonly used braking system for freight wagons and other types of railway vehicles. One or several brake blocks are pressed against the tread (running surface) of the wheel, which is also in rolling contact with the rail. READ MORE
