Deformation Analysis of the High Speed Train Friction Block with Heptagon Shape Using Finite Element Method

Abstract

The design of high-speed rail, which prioritizes energy economy, comfort, safety, and speed, revitalizes conventional train transit. The high-speed era of railroad transportation has begun. A crucial part that helps to slow down or stop the train is the brake. The friction that develops when the brake lining and disk come into contact is the fundamental mechanism of the brake. The purpose of this study is to use the finite element method to calculate the total deformation and equivalent stress that occur in the friction block of a fast train. There are two key instruments in this study that are used to conduct the research. The primary tool for conducting this research is the program, which comes in first. The computer hardware, which powers the software, comes in second. A heptagonal-shaped friction block was positioned at different angles: 0°, 15°, 30°, and 45°. The leading edge near the friction block has wear, according to the simulation data. For the 0o angle, the total deformation is 0.00046 mm, for the 15o angle, 0.00035 mm, for the 30o angle, 0.00040 mm and for the 45o angle, 0.00036 mm.
