“…Therefore the F-D characteristics of this model are expressed by Equation (8). [46][47][48][49][50] With regard to the draft gear models in TRAIN, very limited information was published in [44]. A detailed description of the TRAIN software can probably be found in Witt's doctoral thesis, [51] but the full text of this thesis was not available to the authors when this review was finalised.…”

Longer and heavier trains mean larger in-train forces and more complicated force patterns. Practical experience indicates that the development of fatigue failure of coupling systems in long heavy trains may differ from conventional understanding. The friction-type draft gears are the most widely used draft gears. The ever developing heavy haul transport environment requires further or new understanding of friction draft gear behaviour and its implications for train dynamics as well as fatigue damage of rolling stock. However, modelling of friction draft gears is a highly nonlinear question. Especially the poor predictability, repeatability and the discontinuity of friction make this task more challenging. This article reviews current techniques in dynamics modelling of friction draft gears to provide a starting point that can be used to improve existing or develop new models to achieve more accurate force amplitude and pattern predictions.

“…Due to the importance of the air brake distributors response to the pneumatic signals transmitted through the brake pipe, there were performed numerous theoretical and experimental studies regarding these aspects, based on more or less simplifying hypothesis, all tending to highlight mainly the brake cylinders filling characteristics as accurate as possible (Belforte et al, 2008;Cantone et al, 2009;Piechowiak, 2010;Pugi et al, 2004Pugi et al, , 2008.…”

“…Experiments showed considerable difference in time instance at which the brake cylinder pressure reaches a prescribed value in locomotive and 56th wagon. Cantone et al [14] conducted numerical simulations for studying evolution of brake pipe pressure in single pipe, air braking systems with multiple driver brake valves. A partial reduction in time lag in braking of wagons occurred when multiple brake valves were used.…”
