Abstract
The issue of railway rolling stock brake pad heating is examined under frictional braking within a freight car with unilateral push, equipped with castiron brake pads. Foreign and domestic experience of studies of heat cycles caused by friction has been examined, mechanism of heat release in the contact zone between a pad and wheel during braking with consideration of a heat flow distribution coefficient is described, mathematical modeling choice as a way to refine temperature measurements in the process of experimental studies is grounded, the results of estimated determination of the thermal flow affecting the pad in braking of a loaded freight car weighing 93 ts with 5 ts push upon the axle from 60 km/h to full stop are shown. Dynamics of thermal energy change emitting in frictional braking with consideration of wheel rotation decelerating speed and friction coefficient increase is emulated. Finite element models of pads with even wear, wedgelike wear and with no wear having geometry of relevant engineering drawings are described. The results of investigation of heating of brake pads with different wear types in the process of braking until full stop are given.
