Additional information
The paper was awarded The William Alexander Agnew Meritorious Award / Clarence Noel Goodall 2008 Award, by the IMechE Railway Division. The research was conducted in collaboration with a world leading railway brake manufacturer, Faiveley Transport (approx. 30% of market share). The methodology for designing brakes with effective heat dissipation is now routinely being applied for the design process in the supply chain, and the collaboration with the company has continued through follow-up projects, with funding awarded for a 'High performance low wear brake discs' project .
