Evaluation of the wear of friction pads railway disc brake using selected frequency characteristic of vibrations signal generated by the disc brake

The article presents a new method for diagnosis of the wear of friction pads railway disc brake through analysis of the braking vibration during braking with the constant braking power and during braking to stop by making the analysis of signals in the frequency domain. At the time of research there are vibration acceleration generated by the caliper with brake pads during two types of braking.
