Structural Design of SiCp/A356 Brake Discs Based on Multi-field Coupling and Material Characteristics
The structural design of the brake disc of urban rail trains, especially the design of the heat dissipation rib structure, affects the heat dissipation performance of the brake disc. Unreasonable design can le...
