Analytical model for investigation of the effect of friction power on the thermal stresses in friction elements of brakes

Katarzyna Topczewska
The influence of the change with time of friction power on thermal stresses in a friction
element of a brake system is investigated. For this purpose, a list of ten different temporal
profiles of specific friction power is used, which has been experimentally established for a
single braking process. The corresponding profiles of transient temperature fields in the
considered element are applied as input parameters to find quasi-static thermal stresses.
Numerical analysis concerned with spatio-temporal distributions of the stresses and their
evolutions on the heated surface is presented.
Keywords: frictional heating, temperature, specific power of friction, braking, thermal stresses
