Summary: In this paper, an alternative method for numerical modeling of the rotational motion of the brake disc during frictional heating was proposed. The displacement of the heating region relative to the stationary disc was simulated, and the moving heat source effect was obtained using rectangular time functions. The results showed good agreement between the calculated temperature field changes and the results obtained using standard methods. Furthermore, the study was extended to disc brakes of railway vehicles, and the calculated results were validated against experimental data.

Summary: The article presents a fully coupled 3D thermomechanical model of a railway vehicle disc brake for calculations of temperature, stress, contact pressure and wear distributions. The computer simulations were performed under specific operational parameters on a full scale dynamometer test stand. The finite element analysis provided distributions of temperature, stresses, contact pressure and wear depth, and established relationships between material properties, operational parameters and geometric features of the brake components.

Summary: This study investigated the tribological behavior of EN ER7 and AAR CLASS B wheel steels when paired with cast iron and organic composite brake block materials by conducting sliding wear tests. The wear behavior was analyzed based on friction coefficient, specific wear rate, and microhardness profile. The main damage mechanisms were determined through optical and scanning electron microscopy. A finite element model was proposed to estimate the contact temperature of the pin. The results revealed the presence of oxidative wear, delamination, abrasive wear, and material transfer in both steels, with ER7 steel performing better when paired with the composite material and CLASS B steel showing better performance with cast iron.

Summary: This study aimed to calculate the braking temperature of an aircraft's brake disc during landing phase using Finite Element Method (FEM) and Newcomb analytical method. The investigation used two types of discs and three different materials, showing that the design of the disc did not significantly impact braking temperature, and all materials exhibited similar thermal behavior. Both analytical and numerical models provided satisfactory results.

Summary: This study investigated the infrared precursor characteristics of gas-bearing coal and gas-free coal using a self-developed experimental system. The results showed that gas-bearing coal had both high-temperature and low-temperature anomalous precursors, with different distribution areas compared to gas-free coal.

Summary: The study analyzed a steel brake disc after discovering a deep crack during maintenance check to determine the impetus for deep crack propagation and characteristic semi-elliptical shape. Finite element (FEM) and extended finite element (XFEM) models that included residual stress effects were used to analyze crack propagation. It was found that the crack initiated at the bolt hole corners and transient temperature differences between hot spots defined the crack orientation, with unstable propagation along the axial direction due to a steep temperature gradient.

Summary: In this article, a complex multifield coupled method was proposed to study the thermal mechanical properties and contact state of brake discs by considering the coupled interaction of heat, stress, material wear, and wheel-rail force transmission in the disc-braking process. A coupled dynamic model of train, track, and brake gear was established to analyze the force transmission between brake friction pairs and wheel-rail system. The simulation results were consistent with the bench test results, and different thermal simulation methods were used to verify the validity of the complex multifield coupled simulation results.

Summary: In this paper, the influence of initial topography on the thermoelastic behavior of a simplified brake disc under independent thermal load is studied by experiment and simulation to explore the generation mechanism of disc buckling. The results show that the initial topography has an influence on the buckling mode. A new nonlinear thermal buckling finite element model is proposed to reproduce the 4th order buckling phenomenon in experiment, and the influence factors of initial topography are discussed.

Summary: Infrared thermography can objectively and accurately identify local hypothermia warnings of pressure injury before visual recognition. The efficiency of infrared thermography for diagnosing pressure injury was better than that of Braden scale. By analyzing the optimal cut-off value of relative temperature, the risk of pressure injury occurrence can be predicted more effectively.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) on the material properties of railway vehicle bogie frames, finding that annealing at 590°C and 800°C reduced the yield strength and tensile strength of the specimens while increasing elongation. Annealing at 800°C homogenized weldment structures and slightly improved shock absorption energy.

Summary: When a railway vehicle moves on a curved rail, wear on the wheel flange is caused by sliding contact between the rail head side and wheel flange. Traditionally, the flange is machined to a minimum thickness for structural safety, but this shortens the life of the wheel. In this study, the thinned flanges were hard-faced using submerged arc welding, and a suitable welding wire was developed. The results showed that welding with reverse polarity improved the hardness and reduced wear rates of the wheel compared to welding with straight polarity.
