Abstract

The role of brake is safely to transport passenger & cargo and stop vehicles at emergency in railway vehicle. Brake system reduces the speed by control command of electricity or air. mechanical methods to perform brake are disk brake & tread brake. This study targeted development of highly efficient sintered alloy brake shoe in railway vehicle whose high frictional coefficient, wear resistance, compatibility of the existing tread brake shoe & minimization of wheel's thermal damage and performed development of friction material's formulation, analysis of pressure distribution in wheel tread & brake shoe, optimum form design through analysis of heat flow.
