Abstract: In this study, experiments are conducted to evaluate the effects of friction block shapes and installation angles on the brake noise of high-speed trains on a customized small-scale brake dynamometer. Friction blocks in ...

Abstract: Titanium nitride films were deposited by the methods of ion beam enhanced deposition (IBED), plasma chemical vapor deposition (PCVD) and ion plating (IP). X-ray diffraction analysis was employed ...

Abstract: Stress distributions and plastic deformation zones are factors directly influencing the fatigue life of components under cyclic contact. An effective approach to improving the resistance of a steel to contact fatigue failure ...
