The temperature-dependent tribological properties of brake discs for a train were examined in this study. The discs were produced using heat-resistant alloy steel, which showed different thermal conductivity after the heat treatments. A commercial brake friction material was used to evaluate the friction effectiveness, and the friction tests were carried out using a 1/5 scale dynamometer under various initial braking temperature conditions. The results showed that the tribological property of the disc was strongly affected by the heat treatment schedule. At low temperatures (below $250^{\circ}C$), the friction coefficient increased as a function of disc temperature, indicating that frictional heat increased the adhesion between the disc and pad. In addition, fade was observed at high temperatures (above $250^{\circ}C$); it was pronounced in the case of the disc with low thermal conductivity. The different fade resistances observed in the discs with different heat treatment schedules appear to be influenced by microstructural changes such as carbide redistribution occurring during the heat treatments, which affected the thermal conductivity.

회전익기의 로터 브레이크 시스템은 제동 시 운동에너지를 마찰에 의한 열에너지로 변환시켜 로터를 정지시키거나 감속시키게 된다. 이때 발생된 마찰열은 재료의 마찰 특성 자체에 상당한 영향을 주게 되어 제동시간의 변화를 초래하거나 열탄성적 불안정성을 발생시키기도 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 상용해석 소프트웨어 ABAQUS를 이용하여 온도에 따른 마찰계수의 변화를 고려하여 제동시간을 예측할 수 있는 열기계학적 연성해석을 수행하였으며, 이와 함께 열기계학적 거동을 고려하여 간략한 이론식을 제시하고, 이를 통해 마찰계수가 온도에 따라 변할 경우 로터 브레이크 시스템의 제동시간을 예측하고 제안된 이론식의 타당성을 고찰하였다.

Sintered metallic brake pads and low alloy heat resistance steel disks are applied to mechanical brake systems in high energy moving machines that are associated with recently developed 200km/h trains. This has led to the speed-up of conventional urban rapid transit. In this study, we use a lab-scale dynamometer to investigate the effects of the composition of friction materials on the tribological characteristics of sintered metallic brake pads and low alloy heat resistance steel under dry sliding conditions. We conduct test under a continuous pressure of 5.5 MPa at various speeds. To determine the optimal composition of friction materials for 200 km/h train, we test and the evaluate frictional characteristics such as friction coefficients, friction stability, wear rate, and the temperature of friction material, which depend on the relative composition of the Cu-Sn and Fe components. The results clearly demonstrate that the average friction coefficient is lower for all speed conditions, when a large quantity of iron power is added. The specimen of 25 wt% iron powder that was added decreased the wear of the friction materials and the roughness of the disc surface. However when 35 wt% iron powder was added, the disc roughness and the wear rate of friction materials increased By increasing the amount of iron powder, the surface roughness, and temperature of the friction materials increased, so the average friction coefficients decreased. An oxidation layer of $Fe_2O_3$ was formed on both friction surfaces.

To stop a high speed train running at the speed of 300 km/h, the disc brake for the train should be able to dissipate enormous kinetic energy of the train into frictional heat energy. Sintered pin-type metals are mostly used for friction materials of high speed brake pads. A pad comprises several friction pins, and the topology, length, flexibility, composition, etc. have a great influence on the tribological properties of the disc brake. In this study, the topology of the friction pins in a pad was our main concern. We presented the optimization of the topology of a railcar brake pad with nine-pin-type friction materials by thermo-mechanical contact analysis. We modeled the brake pad with/without a back plate. To simulate a continuous braking, the pad or friction materials were rotated at constant velocity on the friction surface of the disc. We varied the positions of the nine friction materials to compare the temperature distributions on the disc surface. In a non-optimized brake pad, the distance between two neighboring friction materials in the radial direction from the rotational center of the disc was not equal. In an optimized pad, the distance between two neighboring friction materials in the radial direction was equal. The temperature distribution on the disc surface fluctuated more for the former than the latter. Optimizing the pad reduced the maximum temperature of the brake disc by more than 10%.

철도차량의 고속화가 가속화되면서 화물을 운송하던 컨테이너 차량이 차륜의 파손에 의하여 탈선하는 사고가 발생하여 많은 물적 피해가 발생하고 있으며, 이러한 철도차량의 사고는 많은 인명 피해와 물적 피해를 가져오는 대형 사고로 발전할 수 있다. 따라서 이에 대한 재발 방지를 위한 차륜의 파손 해석에 대한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 철도차량의 차륜은 기계적 하중과 열하중를 동시에 받으며, 기계적 하중으로는 철도차량의 무게에 의한 수직하중과 곡선 구간을 운행할 때 차륜과 레일의 접촉부에 수평하중이 발생하며, 철도차량의 제동시 답면제동에 의한 반복적인 열하중을 받는다. 이러한 차륜에 발생하는 기계적 하중과 열하중은 차륜의 균열과 잔류응력 등을 발생시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 차량 주행 시의 브레이크 이력과 하중 조건을 고려한 열 구조 연성해석을 수행하여 차륜에 부하되는 최대응력을 추정하였으며, 이 값을 파괴역학 파라미터인 응력확대계수에 적용하여 차륜의 안전성을 평가하였다.

The thermo-mechanical interaction between brake block and wheel tread during braking has been found to cause thermal crack on the wheel tread. Due to thermal expansion of the rim material, the thermal cracks will protrude from the wheel tread and be more exposed to wear during the wheel/block contact than the rest of the tread surface. The wheel rim is in residual compression stress when is new. After service running, the region in the tread has reversed to tension. This condition can lead to the formation and growth of thermal cracks in the rim which can ultimately lead to premature failure of wheel. In the present paper, the thermal cracks of railway wheel, one of severe damages on the wheel tread, were evaluated to understand the safety of railway wheel in running condition. The residual stresses for damaged wheel which are applied to tread brake are investigated. Mainly X-ray diffusion method is used. Under the condition of concurrent loading of continuous rolling contact with rails and cyclic frictional heat from brake blocks, the reduction of residual stress is found to correlate well with the thermal crack initiation.

We synthesized potassium hexatitanate, ($K_2Ti_6O_{13}$, PT6), with a non-fibrous shape, by acid leaching and subsequent thermal treatment of potassium tetratitanate ($K_2Ti_4O_9$, PT4), with layered crystal structure. By controlling nucleation and growth of PT4 crystals, we obtained splinter-type crystals of PT6 with increased width and reduced thickness. The optimal holding temperature for the layered PT4 was found to be ${\sim}920^{\circ}C$. The length and width of the PT4 crystals were increased when the nucleation and growth time were increased. After a proton exchange reaction using aqueous 0.3 M HCl solution, and subsequent heat treatment at $850^{\circ}C$, the PT4 crystal transformed into splinter-type PT6 crystals. The frictional characteristics of the friction materials show that as the particle size of PT6 increases, the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear amounts of both the friction materials and counter disc increase.

풍속이 급변할 경우 전력계통 시스템과 기계시스템의 안전을 위해 풍력발전기를 제동시킨다. 이 때, 풍력발전기 내부의 기어박스에서 기어 이의 접촉하중으로 인한 기어의 손상 및 파손이 발생하며, 브레이크를 이용한 제동 시 블레이드의 동력을 그대로 전달받아 마찰열 상승, 브레이크의 성능 저하 등의 문제가 있다. 본 논문은 풍력 발전 시스템의 동력전달장치인 기계식 기어의 접촉에 의한 문제를 해결하기 위해 동력 차단 시스템을 결합시킨 하이브리드 마그네틱 기어의 형상을 제안한다. 이차원 유한해석법을 활용하여 하이브리드 마그네틱 기어의 형상에 따른 토크와 손실 분석을 통해 풍력발전 시스템에 적합한 하이브리드 마그네틱 기어의 형상을 도출하였다.
