ON THE THERMAL EFFECT OF TREAD BRAKING UPON CAR WHEELS

Some effects of tread braking with composite brake shoe upon solid wheels were studied by a full-size brake testing machine. The temperature rise, the temperature distribution in the wheel, and the friction coefficient of brake shoe were measured during drag or stop brakes. The residual stresses set up in wheels after the brake applications in different conditions were also studied, and some clear differences were observed between the states of residual stress in the wheel drag braked and the one repeatedly stop braked.
