In general, the braking system of high speed train has an important role for the safety of the train. To stop safely train at its pre-decided position, it is necessary to combine properly the various brakes. The prototype of Korean high speed train (KHST) has been designed, fabricated and tested by the domestic researchers. It has adopted a combined electrical brakes, such as rheostatic brake, regenerative brake and eddy current brake, and mechanical brakes composed of disc brake, wheel disc brake and tread brake. In this paper, the performances and control algorithms of braking system have been reviewed by the experimental method.

Ferritic Nitro Carburizing (FNC) cast iron brake discs is known to improve corrosion resistance and brake creep groan noise as well as prevent corrosion-induced pulsation. But, it is necessary to treat honing machining on braking surface to avoid grinding noise during braking.

This paper studies the effect of pad at initial stage and wear during braking on the dynamic contact pressure distribution. Wear is influenced by variable factor (contact pressure, sliding speed, radius, temperature) during dynamic braking and variation in contact pressure distribution. Many researchers have conducted complex eigenvalue analysis considering wear characteristic with Lim and Ashby wear map. The conventional analysis method is assumed the pad has smooth and flat surfaces. The purpose of this paper is to validate that wear rate induced by braking is considered for the precise squeal prediction. After obtaining pad wear from experiment, it is incorporated with FE model of brake system. Finally, the comparisons in fugitive nature of squeal will be carried out between the complex eigenvalue analysis and noise dynamometer experiment.

There are various noises generated by friction. Among the rest, eliminating squeal noise generated during braking is an important task for the improvement of vehicle passengers' comfort. The parameters affecting brake squeal noise are the material properties of the braking pad, the dynamic properties of the brake parts and the dimensions of the brake assemble etc. Also, the squeal noise changes its inherent form(i.e. its sound pressure level and its frequency) with the normal load and sliding speed. In this study, the characteristics of brake squeal noise generated by friction is analyzed experimentally. The experiment focused on the analysis of friction self-excited vibrationand squeal noise level. Friction self-excited vibration is caused by the dry friction between pads and rotor, and occurs as a function of their relative sliding speeds. And Friction self-excited vibration is raised the brake squeal noise.

This paper presents the braking friction and wears on the rubbing surfaces of a friction pad-disk brake. In this study, four friction disk specimens are sampled from unused and used disks in which are taken from the disk brake system when the friction induced vibration and noise problems have been occurred during a braking period at a running period of 10,000 km, 20,000 km, and 30,000 km in random. The experimental results indicate that the tribological characteristics of an unused disk brake shows equal and stable as a friction coefficient and temperature distributions during a braking friction/wear test period including a total friction mode from the start to running periods. But the used disk brake shows unstable and uneven friction modes between an outside and inside rubbing surfaces of a disk brake in terms of a friction coefficient and wears. This may lead to a friction induced friction vibration and noise problems of a used disk brake.

The solenoid valve of ABS hydraulic modulator is a two directional on-off valve and is controlled by around 100Hz on-off control. When the on-off valve is switched from open state to closed state, there are braking force deterioration, noise and vibration due to surge pressure in the wheel cylinder. In this study, identifies surge pressure in the braking process of ABS, and investigates the way to reduce the phenomenon. To reduce the surge pressure, PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) control with high frequency of 20kHz was attempted. In conclusion, by using the results of this study for the pressure surge prediction, we could expect enhancement of braking performance in ABS.

In the present work, to achieve high braking performance with restricted size, characteristics of magneto-rheological (MR) fluid brake is numerically investigated considering different magnetic core shapes. As a first step, structural configuration of the MR brakes are proposed with four different magnetic core shapes, such as single flat, single inclined, dual flat and dual inclined. To estimate braking performance of the proposed MR brakes, electromagnetic analysis is carried out and the results of magnetic field intensity distribution are observed. Based on the electromagnetic analysis results, braking torque of the MR brake is estimated according to magnitude of current input and results are discussed. It is observed that enhanced braking torque can be achieved by adopting the modified magnetic core shape under limited small size of the MR brake.
