Abstract
This paper describes a method of estimating the braking force of an ed dy-current rail brake system using the three-dimensional finite elemen t method. The analyzed braking force characteristics agreed with the m easurements and hence the validity of this method was confirmed. This method is used to design the optimum practical rail brake system.
