For improving braking efficiency, the high friction composite brake shoe, instead of cast-iron shoe, is widely used in railway wagon. However, some flange and tread of the foundation brake rigging wear frequently in operation, leading to the over standard of wheel diameter difference, which affects the safety performance and the running efficiency of railway transport. This paper uses the normal pressure between wheels and shoes as the evaluation index of tread wear and the lateral shift of brake beam as the evaluation index of flange wear. With the multi-body dynamics simulation method, take a research on the influence of curve braking for flange and tread wear. Firstly, establish a multi-rigid body dynamics model of the foundation brake rigging in RecurDyn software. And then, take a research on the lateral shift of brake beam and the pressure distribution of shoes for empty and loaded wagon on four kinds of curves braking respectively. At last, to testify the simulation results theoretically, analytical method is used to derive lateral force of the brake beam. The results indicate that the lateral shift of rear brake beam which lead the shoe moving close to the flange is the cause of flange wear, and the positive pressure between wheel and shoe of one wheel-order bigger than others is the cause of tread wear. The research accomplishments above provide technical support for further improvement of the foundation brake rigging in railway wagons.
