Abstract

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit, Ahead of Print.
Heat generation in tread braking systems increases the temperature of wheel and shoes, possibly triggering damage phenomena. Therefore, reliable brake temperature predictions are essential. Numerical models can thrust the implementation of brake ...
