| description | This article presents the results of a study focused on identifying the main causes of the asymmetric (clinodual) wear of composite brake pads on freight wagons. A new scientific approach to determining the clinodual wear of composite brake pads on freight wagons is proposed. It is established that the harmful abrasion of the pad occurs during the movement of the freight train due to an imperfection in the bogie-brake lever transmission. The causes of the non-normative frictional wear of composite brake pads were investigated. This kind of wear leads to the tilting and abutting of the upper end of the brake pads against the rotating wheel during train running. The results of geometric and kinetostatic studies of the “pad–wheel” tribotechnical pair are provided to establish the causes and consequences of the accelerated clinodual frictional wear of composite brake pads on pendulum suspension in the bogies of freight wagons. The conditions of rotation of the wheels during braking “for” and “against” the clockwise direction depending on the direction of the train are considered. A new approach to brake-pad-wear prediction depending on the mileage of wagons under operational conditions is proposed. The research conducted in this study contributes to the development of the mechanical parts of freight-wagon brakes, increasing the efficiency of brake operation and improving the safety of train traffic. |
