Abstract
Our master thesis is performed for Faiveley Transport AB, Landskrona. The
company’s main business area is development and assembly of complete brake
systems, wheels and couplings for railway vehicles. The company is currently
working on a project, V-Brake, to develop a new competitive brake. Earlier two
students, T. Persson and J. Mårtensson, have been working with the development of
the brake, but the assignment was too extensive. At the end of their thesis, the
analyses of temperature influence during a brake sequence was not included.
The purpose of this master thesis was to continue the development of V-Brake and
perform computer based heat flux and structural analyses. A complete development
of a brake pad holder was also... (More)
Our master thesis is performed for Faiveley Transport AB, Landskrona. The

The purpose of this master thesis was to continue the development of V-Brake and
perform computer based heat flux and structural analyses. A complete development
of a brake pad holder was also included. Our objective was to make sure that V-Brake
finally fulfilled the target specifications set by Faiveley Transport.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to perform the heat flux and structural analyses in
the same software. To compute the influence of the temperature the heat flux analysis
was first separately made and the results were used as input data in the structural
analysis. The structural analysis results showed that some improvements had to be
made in order to make a design that endured the strains during a normal brake
sequence. In the development process of the brake pad holder several concepts were
generated which underwent careful evaluation. This process gave us a product
concept, which we performed contact pressure analysis and redesigns on. This was
made to achieve a final brake pad holder that fulfilled the safety and design demands
set by Faiveley Transport.
The remaining part is to produce a physical prototype that can be tested in a
laboratory. The results from these tests should be enough to finalize the development
of V-Brake. (Less)
