2. 21. 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

4. 22. Finite Element Modeling of Contact Problems

   Author : Asim Rashid; Peter Hansbo; Niclas Strömberg; Anders Klarbring; Anders Eriksson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Contact is the principal way load is transferred to a body. The study of stresses and deformations arising due to contact interaction of solid bodies is thus of paramount importance in many engineering applications. In this work, problems involving contact interactions are investigated using finite element modeling. READ MORE

5. 23. 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. 24. Railway Wheelsets: Theory, Experiments and Design Considering Temperatures, Stresses and Deformations as Induced by Braking Loads and Contact Forces

   Author : Mikael Fermér; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Railway wheelset components exposed to braking loads and contact forces have been studied. The work has been performed in close cooperation with the Swedish wheelset manufacturer ABB SURA Traction AB, and it has resulted in one brake disc prototype and two different wheel prototypes.

7. 25. 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
