  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. On improvement of brake discs for heavy vehicles - Experimental testing and material modelling
