The influence of crack distribution on the multiple parallel radial cracks of high-speed train brake discs

Key Points

• Multiple parallel radial cracks develop in brake discs due to uneven crack distribution, affecting their integrity.
• The study identifies that varying levels of mechanical stress result in increased cracks, impacting performance and safety.
• Observational analysis across various conditions was conducted to assess the relationship between crack distribution and radial cracks in brake discs.
• Findings suggest that addressing uneven crack distribution may enhance the durability of brake discs in high-speed trains.
