Past efforts of the Nigerian Railway Corporation to produce shoe brake blocks locally have proved unsuccessful; the brake blocks produced are defective, and are highly susceptible to brittle (catastrophic) failure. The objective of this work was to undertake failure analysis of locally produced shoe
Many fundamental studies have been conducted to explain the occurrence of squeal in disc and drum brake systems. The elimination of brake squeal, however, still remains a challenging area of research. Here, a numerical modeling approach is developed for investigating the onset of squeal in a drum br
In this study, failed samples of railway brake blocks were analysed to ascertain the causes of failure. Seven samples of varying charge constituents were produced in a permanent mould. Mechanical tests (hardness, compression and impact), spectroscopic analysis and microstructural investigations were
Brake squeal is referred to, in most publications, as a flutter instability triggered by a mode coupling phenomenon. A lot of clues tend to prove that damping would be a key parameter in brake squeal modelling. This study aims at investigating the effects of damping on coalescence patterns, that is
