The Thermal Effect in Wheel and Rail during the Brake of Port Crane

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the port crane getting bigger and heavier, and also moving much faster than before, the thermal effect in wheel and rail during the brake process can be a reason of the failure of port crane. In this paper, the thermal effect during the brake process of port crane is studied using the finite element method. Based on the finite element model, the ANSYS10.0 finite element software is used. The thermal effects under different coefficients are discussed. Three different slide speed of wheel, two different loads of crane, and three different frictional coefficients are applied. The importance of the different coefficients is obtained from the numerical results.
