Optimal location of brake pad for reduction of temperature deviation on brake disc during high-energy braking
During the braking process, frictional heat generated between a disc and a pad can lead to high temperatures. The location of friction blocks on the brake pad can lead directly to differences in friction conta...

The thermo-mechanical behavior of brake discs for high-speed railway vehicles
The structure of a brake disc is coupled to the axle and rotates together with the wheel. A brake disc is a friction-type device that presses the pad on both sides of the disc. As more of its surface area beco...

Development of a Web-based RCM system for the driverless Rubber-Tired K-AGT system
The Korean Railroad Research Institute (KRRI) developed the rubber-tired AGT system (Model: K-AGT) between 1999 and 2005. The K-AGT is a light rail transit system does not require a driver and generally operat...
