The analysis reveals that variations in the circular geometry of the friction block significantly influence stress distribution and material durability. These findings are anticipated to support advancements in the design of braking components for high-speed trains. The research underscores the critical role of accurate modeling in enhancing the efficiency and safety of braking systems.
