Abstract

The brake pad is one of the basic brake elements of a railway vehicle. It accomplishes braking action by friction between a pad and a brake disc. Because the brake pad must endure specified high pressure, the compressive strength is managed as the main performance factor. The standards for measuring the compressive strength of brake pads are KRS, KRCS, and KRT. These standards specify the size of the test piece for measuring compressive strength as $20mm{\times}10mm{\times}15mm$ ($W{\times}D{\times}H$). To reduce the uncertainty of the compressive strength, factors of uncertainty were analyzed. The results show that changing the dimensions of the cross section was useful to reduce the uncertainty. The uncertainty due to the new cross-sectional dimension shows the effectiveness of reducing uncertainty.

제동 패드는 철도차량의 기초제동요소 중 하나이다. 제동 패드는 제동 캘리퍼로부터 압부력을 전달받아 제동디스크와의 마찰력으로 철도차량에 제동작용을 한다. 따라서 제동 패드는 주어진 고압의 압부력을 견뎌야 하므로 제동 패드의 주요 성능평가항목으로 압축강도를 관리한다. 압축강도를 측정하는 규격은 KRS, KRCS, KRT 등이 있다. 이들 규격은 압축강도를 측정하기 위한 시험편의 크기를 $20mm{\times}10mm{\times}15mm$ (가로${\times}$세로${\times}$높이)로 규정하고 있다. 압축강도에 대한 불확도를 줄이기 위하여 불확도 요인을 분석한 결과, 단면의 치수를 변경함으로써 불확도를 줄일 수 있음을 알았다. 새로운 단면치수에 의한 불확도를 평가하여 불확도 감소에 대한 유효성을 입증하였다.
