제동 디스크 설계를 위한 고려 인자 고찰

The brake system of railway plays an important role to enhance the speed of train, and the brake disc is one of major components relating to frictional braking. The performance enhancement of brake disc directly affects the braking performance of train. It is required to understand and investigate the factors need to be considered for the development of new brake disc with improved materials and performance. In this study, through the literature reviews of previous study, several factors including thermal crack phenomena, friction coefficient, materials and durability of disc, temperature characteristics, etc., were introduced for the design of improved brake disc. Moreover, based on the review results, the design direction of new brake disc was suggested. Eventually, a new brake disc with improved performance would be developed based on this investigation.
