Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the vibration characteristics of fire speed spikes of vibrating trains using the element method (FEMS). Vibration of friction blocks is an important factor affecting the safety comfort and service life of brake trains. It is very important to understand the vibration of the model and the dynamic response of the friction mass. Methods used to design effective braking systems that prevent structural damage and improve the passenger experience. FEM is used to build model shapes of hexagonal friction blocks and simulate the dynamic response to load braking. The hexagonal shape was included in the simulation to analyze bullet train variables such as fire pressure brake properties material friction properties with blocks and their effect on vibrations. The resulting simulations provide insight into the main natural frequencies of mode oscillation and the relative displacements of the different component friction masses. The main findings of the study address a deeper understanding of the characteristic vibrations of hemispherical friction masses and the factors that influence them. The present invention is a brake system with a potential control design that attenuates excessive vibration increases occupant comfort and reduces the risk of brake failure.
