3. Thermomechanical behaviour of tread braked wheels
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. Towards enhanced mechanical braking systems for trains. Thermomechanical capacity of wheel treads at stop braking
Abstract : Modern trains are equipped with different braking systems, between which the braking effort can be distributed. Among these, tread braking is still the most common system for friction braking. Tread brake systems are cheap and robust. READ MORE

5. Modelling of cyclic and viscous behaviour of pearlitic steels. Application to tread braked railway wheels
Abstract : Railway wheel and rail materials are subjected to very high stresses and, in some cases, also elevated temperatures. The rolling contact loading results in a multiaxial stress state with a combination of compression and shear. READ MORE
