Calculation and Analysis of Braking Performance for the New 160km /h Intercity EMU

According to the new 160km /h intercity EMU's relevant technical requirements of the braking system,based on the finite element method,the heat capacity of the brake disc in utmost conditions and analog lines conditions are analyzed,and the emergency braking distance in maximum load conditions by the initial velocity of 160 km / h is calculated. According to the analytical results,the new 160km / h intercity EMU braking performance could meet the normal operation of the EMU requirements.
