TO STUDY THE RAILWAY AIR BRAKE SYSTEM & DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF BRAKE BLOCK
Braking System is essential feature to retard and stop the railway in minimum time and distance. This paper presents a discussion on braking system used in Indian railways, the component of air braking system, comparison between air brake system and vacuum brake system, types of air brake system, schematic diagram of single pipe and twin pipe system, working of distributor valve and cocks , brake shoe material , working of air brake system, working of brake cylinder, component of brake cylinder and increase the Efficiency and life of Brake Block of railway by designing and analysing the brake block by changing brake block material.
