Characterisation and evaluation of global uneven heating during railway tread braking – Brake rig testing and field study

In this paper, an effort has been made to characterise and evaluate the risks caused by global uneven heating, which can occur on tread braked railway wheels during prolonged braking. Brake rig experiments and a field study were performed on tread braked railway wheels exposed to brake power levels...
