Numerical investigation of a three-dimensional disc-pad model with and without thermal effects
This study aims to identify thermal effects in the structure and the contact behavior of a disc-pad assembly using a finite element approach. The first analysis is performed on the disc-pad model in the absence of thermal effects. The structural performance of the disc-pad model is predicte...

| Summary: | This study aims to identify thermal effects in the structure and the contact
behavior of a disc-pad assembly using a finite element approach. The first
analysis is performed on the disc-pad model in the absence of thermal
effects. The structural performance of the disc-pad model is predicted in
terms of factors such as the deformation and Von Mises stress. Next,
thermomechanical analysis is performed on the same disc-pad model with the
inclusion of convection, adiabatic, and heat flux elements. The predicted
temperature distribution, deformation, stress, and contact pressure are
presented. The structural performance between the two analyses (mechanical
and thermomechanical) is compared. This study can assist brake engineers in
choosing a suitable analysis method to critically evaluate the structural and
contact behavior of the disc brake assembly. |
