...Zhou Yang; Junying Yang; Chong Zhao; Manqi Yao; Fei Gao Purpose This study aims to analyse the influence mechanism of friction block shape on the heat convection characteristics of high-speed brake pads, providing a theoretical basis for brake pad design and thermal boundary condition setting...

.../methodology/approach The temperature and coefficient of friction (COF) of friction pair composed of C/C-SiC were examined by a TM-I-type reduced-scale inertial braking dynamometer. The thermo-mechanically coupled model of friction pair is established to study the brake disc temperature using ADINA software...

...Chong Zhao; Manqi Yao; Xiaoming Han; Wei Qi; Linlin Su; Rong Fu; Fei Gao Purpose This study aims to analyze the temperature difference between aluminum-based brake disc (ABD) and cast steel brake disc (CSBD) for rail vehicles in the braking process, which is related to the popularization and use...

...Yan Yin; Xingming Xiao; Jiusheng Bao; Jinge Liu; Yuhao Lu; Yangyang Ji Purpose – The purpose of this study is to establish a new temperature set for characterizing the frictional temperature rise (FTR) of disc brakes. The FTR produced by braking is an important factor which directly affects...
