  Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) - Technical Reports - DYNAMIC HOIST TESTS
The motor brake applies a braking force directly to the motor shaft and is adjusted to set after the conveyance is stopped by the drum brake.
The dynamic braking resistor would dissipate the energy generated by the overhauling load, and the load would be lowered at a safe slow speed.
The hoist should slow down to a predesigned dynamic braking speed and continue at this speed until the holding brake is reactivated, thereby stopping the hoist.

 RAILROAD.NET - Shop Notes - Locomotive Blended Braking
Locomotive blended braking is the braking of a locomotive through simultaneous use of both the dynamic brake and the air brake.
As both the air brake effort and the dynamic braking force are taken by the DA module for braking calculation, the maximum braking capability of the locomotive will be obtained from maximum dynamic brake retarding force in combination or "blending" with a portion of the brake cylinder pressure as required.
As the dynamic brake retarding force is proportional to the locomotive speed, the brake cylinder pressure is increase through the action of the DA module and magnet valves to maintain maximum locomotive braking efficiency.

 PC Form EC-99 BRAKE AND TRAIN AIR SIGNAL INSTRUCTIONS
Dynamic Braking On locomotives equipped with dynamic brake, the automatic brake may be used when using dy- namic braking as the dynamic interlock prevents air brakes applying on the locomotive, however, the independent brake must not be applied while using dynamic brake as it may cause locomotive's wheels to slide.
Dynamic Braking The dynamic brake, where provided, may be used to reduce speed, to bunch the slack before using automatic air brake, and to hold the slack in while releasing train brakes on a moving train.
The dynamic brake may be used, within the speed and current ranges for the class of locomotive in- volved, independently of or in conjunction with the train air brakes to control the speed of a train.

 Active Dynamic Brake (ADB-2) - Selectronics, Inc.
In the traditional configuration of the Leesona winder the process of slowing the spindle to a stop for doff or after a yarn break has occurred is accomplished by draining off the kinetic energy of the spinning package.
This “braking effect” is created by “dumping” this energy, in the form of electric current produced by the motor’s spinning armature, into a fixed-value resistor.
The "braking rate" is internally adjustable by a potentiometer and may be set to the most desirable braking profile for any application.

 Electronic control dynamic brake proportioning - Patent 5015040
Torque proportioning between the front and rear wheels of a vehicle is achieved by controlling the speed of each rear wheel, via modulation of the hydraulic brake pressure of the rear wheel during braking, to be the same as the speed of the front wheel on the same side of the vehicle.
During braking of an automotive vehicle, the brake torque (the torque established by the wheel brakes resisting wheel rotation) generated by a hydraulic brake system causes the wheel to decelerate.
The pressure modulator 26 is controlled to modulate the brake line pressure at the calipers 22 for establishing brake torque at the rear wheel by means of an electronic controller 30 in a manner so as to establish the speed.omega..sub.r of the rear wheel equal to the speed.omega..sub.f of the front wheel during vehicle braking.

 To Brake, or Dynamic Brake? - Trains.com Forums
The brakes are activated by air pressure from the brake cylinder on each car that are linked to all the brake pads by the rods and levers of the brake linkage.
With dynamic brakeing you have to plan ahead as when you are brakeing you are only doing it from the locomotives and if they are all at the head end you have a whole trains worth of slack action to controll.
Development of approximately 15-18 psi of independent brake cylinder pressure, dynamic braking will be reduced to that of a standard range dynamic brake or, depending on locomotive brake cylinder pressure switch design, will eliminate all dynamic braking completely.

This connects the brake cylinder to the atmosphere, releasing the air pressure in the cylinder and thus releasing the brakes.

 Air brake (rail) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electro-pneumatic or EP brakes are a new type of air brake that will allow for immediate application of brakes throughout the train instead of the sequential application for the current type.
These generally involve connecting the air brake hoses, charging up the brake system, setting the brakes and manually inspecting the cars to ensure the brakes are applied, and then releasing the brakes and manually inspecting the cars to ensure the brakes are released.
The train in question had brake shoes that lost their grip when overheated, and this train was diverted to a line with a 30km 900m descent from Katoomba to Emu Plains.

 Low Speed Plate Brake Tester   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
When brake torque is applied to a wheel, a braking force or retarding force is generated at the interface between the tire and the road surface.
The amount of braking force that can be generated by a wheel is dependent on the load on the wheel, the construction of the tire and the condition of the road surface (friction between the tire and road).
Braking efficiency is defined as the ratio of maximum vehicle deceleration without wheel lockup divided by the coefficient of friction between the tire and the road.
