[0002] As an indispensable part of the modern transportation system, rail vehicles are widely used in urban rail transit, high-speed railways and other fields. Due to the increase in transportation demand, the design speed level of subway trains has reached 120km / h, 140km / h and even 160km / h. The increase in train operating speed has also put forward higher requirements on its braking performance. Subway trains brake frequently between stations, and a large amount of heat energy generated by the friction between the brake disc and the friction plate is mainly absorbed by the brake disc, which will cause the brake disc temperature to rise rapidly, and then induce thermal deformation of the structure. Once the thermal stress change exceeds the material strength, the brake disc surface is prone to thermal fatigue damage such as thermal cracks and hot spots, which will affect the braking performance and even cause serious operational accidents.

[0110] SG6: By comparing probe data, analyze the impact of crack shape, location and number on brake disc temperature and stress, as well as the stress concentration phenomenon caused by cracks.

[0111] In this embodiment, in the study of the crack effect on the brake disc, the following steps elaborate on how to evaluate the effect of cracks on the performance of the brake disc through simulation and data analysis: In step SG1, probes are arranged near the cracks in the simulation model. These probes are used to monitor the temperature and stress changes in the crack area in real time, providing key information for subsequent data analysis. In step SG2, temperature field simulation is performed to simulate the situation of continuous emergency braking. Through the generated temperature cloud map, the temperature distribution on the surface of the brake disc and the reasons for the formation of hot spots can be analyzed, which is crucial for understanding the thermal behavior and thermal fatigue life of the brake disc at high temperatures. Step SG3 involves stress field simulation. Through the equivalent stress cloud map obtained, the effect of cracks on the stress distribution of the brake disc can be analyzed to understand how cracks change the size and distribution pattern of stress. Step SG4 analyzes the simulation results of the single-crack brake disc, compares the temperature and stress changes under different crack forms, and thus evaluates the specific effects of cracks on the thermal and mechanical properties of the brake disc. In step SG5, the simulation results of the double-crack brake disc were analyzed, the interaction mechanism between multiple cracks was studied, and the difference in the impact of double cracks on temperature and stress distribution was revealed by comparison with the crack-free case, which is of great significance for understanding the behavior of complex crack systems. Finally, step SG6 analyzed the impact of the shape, location and number of cracks on the temperature and stress distribution of the brake disc, as well as the stress concentration phenomenon caused by cracks by comparing probe data. This analysis helps to reveal the relationship between crack characteristics and brake disc performance, and provides an important scientific basis for brake disc design optimization, material selection and failure prevention. These steps together constitute a comprehensive analysis framework for evaluating and improving the structural integrity and safety of cracked brake discs.
