EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS FOR TEMPERATURE RISE OF RAIL WHEN APPLYING AN EDDY CURRENT RAIL BRAKE
The eddy current rail brake operates without friction between rails and wheels of vehicle. This brake system can be used on a conventional railway as well as on a high speed railway. The brake force is obtained by converting the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat energy in the rail, the temperature of the rail will be raised. Since the rail is essential equipment for operating railway vehicles, the temperature rise of rail is a very important factor as to whether or not this brake system can be used.
