To study air braking characteristics of long freight trains, an approach for simulating air brake systems based on fuid dynamics theory was proposed. The structures and working mechanisms of locomotive and wagon air brakes are introduced, and mathematical models of the pipes, brake valves, reservoirs or chambers, cylinders, etc., are presented.Besides, the dynamic motions of parts in the main valve are considered. The simulation model of the whole air brake system is then formulated, and the solving method based on the finite-difference method is used. New efficient pipe boundary conditions without iterations are developed for brake pipes and branch pipes, which can achieve higher computational efficiency. The proposed approach for simulating the air brake system is validated by comparing with published measured data. Simulation results of different train formations indicate that models that consider the dynamic behavior of brake pipes are recommended for predicting the characteristics of long trains under service braking conditions.展开更多

The EPB is simulated by ARX （auto-regressive with auxiliary input） model, ARMAX （auto-regressive moving average with auxiliary input） model, and NNARMAX （neural network ARMAX） model. By system identification, the ARX（3,4,2）, ARX（4,4,2）, ARMAX（3,3,1,1）, and ARMAX（4,4,3,2） models are derived. Validation results show that the four-order ARMAX model and the NNARMAX model better simulate the actuator of the EPB.展开更多

The third and the fourth distribution of brake power were calculated by using finite element(FE) software ANSYS. The third and the fourth distribution of wet multidisc brake are mainly related to material characteristics of discs during emergency braking, while most of the braking power is carried off during continuous braking. Basis is provided for further analysis of disc failure and applicability of different friction materials.展开更多

It proposes to solve the problem of handling differences from shooter to shooter by incorporating the feature of tunability. Beside this, it also solves the problem of requirement of optimum recoil in short recoil weapons. This innovation gives this design an edge over its already existing counterparts in the market. The product is designed using the internal ballistics calculations and the investigations been performed using solidworks flow simulation tool and ANSYS static structural to check the parameters like velocity distribution, pressure growth, and muzzle brake force along the series of ports and comparison of the so found results with those devised by the authors of the documents mentioned in references. This assures the market adaptability of the product for satisfactory performance, when brought among its already existing counterpart, though with a slight edge over them due to tunability. The results so found shall be concluded satisfactory regarding the performance of muzzle brake.展开更多
