A Study on the Dynamic Behaviors of a Disk Brake for a High-Speed Train

고속전철용 디스크 브레이크의 동적거동 특성에 관한 연구

Using a coupled thermal-mechanical analysis, the dynamic distortion of the ventilated disk brakes has been presented for a high-speed train. The offset ratio between the maximum and minimum values of the thermal distortions has been analyzed as a function of a braking number. The computed FEM results show that the offset ratios in radial direction are much greater than those of circumferentially distorted components. This means that the axial distortions in radial direction may dominantly produce thermally caused wears and cracks at the rubbing surfaces.
