Abstract
This article explores issues related to the friction of the brake pads of a freight car. The coefficients of friction of composite and cast-iron pads of a new type, calculated for a range of different speeds, and the specific braking force during emergency braking are given. A sectional brake block for a freight car and a locomotive has been developed. The advantages of sectional brake pads have been scientifically substantiated. The obtained calculations allow us to recommend them for further study and implementation in operation on the railways.
