Macroscopic hot spots formed due to the large thermal gradients at the surface of the disc brake rotor, make the rotor to fail or wear out early. Thermo-elastic deformation results in contact concentration, leading to the non uniform distribution of temperature making the disc susceptible to hot spot formation. The formation of one hot spot event will predispose the system to future hot spotting at the same location. This leads to the complete thermo-elastic instability in the disc brakes; multitude parameters are responsible for the thermo elastic instability. The predominant factor is the sliding velocity and above a certain sliding velocity the instability of the brake system occurs and hot spots is formed in the surface of the disc brake. Commercial finite element package ABAQUS(R) is used to find the temperature distribution and the result is validated using Rowson's analytical model. A coupled analysis methodology is evolved for the automotive disc brake from the transient thermo-elastic contact analysis. Temperature variation is studied under different sliding speeds within the operation range.

A thermo-elastic system in the production machine has highly nonlinear dynamic characteristics. In general, the finite element method is utilized for accurate analysis. However, it requires large computing time. Thus, thermo-elastic systems are usuallymodeled as electric and fluid system using lumped para,eter. In this paper. we propose the bondgraph model and transient simulation methodology of thermo-elastic system in consideration of various boundary and joint contact conditions. Consequently, the proposed method ensures a possibility of its on-line compensation about undesirable phenomena by using real time estimate process and electronic cooling device for thermal appropriate behavior. Thermo-elastic model consisting of bush and shaft including contact condition is presented.

A three dimensional transient thermo-elastic frictional contact analysis of airplane brakes is performed. The velocity history of the airplane during braking is calculated from energy conservation law. ABAQUS code is used in the analysis, and user subroutines supported in the ABAQUS are coded to calculate the frictional heat generation between pads and linings attached to back/pressure plate and rotor, respectively. Numerical results are compared with experimental ones.

A numerical procedure for analyzing thermo-elastic contact applied to an automotive disk brake and calculating subsurface stress distribution has been developed. The proposed procedure takes the advantage of the simplex algorithm to save computing time. Flamant's solution and Boussinesq's solution are adopted as Green function in analysis. Comparing the numerical results with the exact solutions has proved the validity of this procedure.

This study investigates the effects of operating conditions on the chattering of an automotive disk brake by experimental and computational methods. Design factors, which cause chattering in automobiles, have attracted great attentions for long time; but they are not well understood yet. For this study, we construct a brake dynamometer for measuring the disk surface temperature during chattering, and propose an efficient hybrid algorithm (combining FFT-FEA and traditional FEA program) for analyzing the thermo-elastic behavior of three-dimensional brake system. We successfully measure the judder in a brake system via the dynamometer and efficiently simulate the contact pressure variation by the hybrid algorithm. The three-dimensional simulation of thermo-mechanical interactions on the automotive brake, showing the transient thermo-elastic instability phenomenon, is presented for the first time in this academic community. We also find from the experimental study that the disk bulk temperature strongly influences the brake chattering in the automotive disk brakes.

Each part of drum brake system is loaded by continual mechanical force and thermal force every time of braking, so enough strength and stability are required. Thermal characteristic is one of the important factors in drum brake systems design. This paper presents the thermal performance such as temperature distribution and thermal contact stress of drum brake system considering several braking patterns; 80th heat braking test mode, heat fade braking test mode, general road mode, steep slope road mode and off road mode. Transient heat transfer analysis and Thermo elastic contact analysis is executed to obtain the temperature distribution, and to evaluate thermal stress of drum brake by using ABAQUS/Standard code. This procedure of analysis can effectively be used to improve the quality problem of brake system and to get design guideline of the new product.

이 논문에서는 탄소/탄소 브레이크 제동중 시스템의 거동을 열탄성 해석을 수행하여 살펴보았고. 파손에 안정적인 디스크의 형상을 찾기 위하여 다양한 형상에 대한 3차원 응력해석을 수행하였다. 탄소/탄소 복합재료의 기계적 물성치가 적층면방향과 두께방향으로 측정되었다. 측정긴 기계적 물성치는 열탄성 해석과 3차원 응력해석을 위한 입력으로 사용 되었다. 로터 클립과 클립 리테이너 사이의 간격은 회전판의 하중전달 미케니즘에 있어서 중요만 인자이다. 간격변화는 기계적 변형과 열 변형으로 분리하여 고려하였다. 클립과 리테이터는 서로 접촉이 발생하지 않았으므로 해석 모델에서 리테이너와 리벳은 제외되었다. 로터 디스크는 반복대칭조건을 사용하여 모델링되었고, 로터 디스크와 로터 클립, 로터 클립과 키 드럼사이의 2중 접촉문제가 고려되었다. 3차인 응력해석의 결과로부터 브레이크 디스크의 키 홀 부분에 응력집중현상이 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 응력분포는 키 홀 부분에서 접촉면의 회전각과 곡률반경의 변화에 따라 연구 되었다.

차량 제동시 디스크와 패드사이의 미끄럼 접촉에 의해 발생하는 마찰열은 재질의 열 탄성 변형을 일으키고, 이는 접촉면의 압력 분포에 영향을 끼친다. 이러한 열탄성 불안정성 (Thermo-Elastic Instability, TEI)은 디스크의 고유 진동모드와 결합되어 열섬 현상 및 열간 저더 진동을 발생시킨다. 본 연구에서는 상용 유한 요소 해석 프로그램인 SAMCEF 를 이용하여 자동차용 통풍식 디스크에 대한 3 차원 열간 저더 해석을 수행하였다. Staggered approach 에 의거한 중간 처리기를 이용하여 구조-동역학 해석 결과와 열 전달 해석 결과를 교환하였다. 디스크 표면에 열섬이 발생하는 것을 확인하였고, 이를 디스크 고유 진동 모드와 비교함으로써 모드 형상과 열섬 분포의 관계를 분석하였다.

In this paper, a procedure for evaluating the structural integrity of the PCSG (Printed Circuit Steam Generator) unit block is presented with a simplified FE (finite element) analysis technique by applying the homogenization method. The homogenization method converts an inhomogeneous elastic body into a homogeneous elastic body with same mechanical behaviour. This method is effective when the inhomogeneous elastic body has repetitive microstructures, and thus the method was applied to the sheet assembly among the PCSG unit block components. From the method, the homogenized equivalent elastic constants of the sheet assembly were derived. The validity of the determined material properties was verified by comparing the mechanical behaviour with the reference model. Thermo-mechanical analysis was then performed to evaluate the structural integrity of the PCSG unit block, and it was found that the contact region between the steam header and the sheet assembly is a critical point where large bending stress occurs due to the temperature difference.

In this paper, to examine the propagation of inclined surface crack due to frictional heating, analytic model is considered as the semi-infinite elastic body subjected to the thermo-mechanical loading of an asperity moving with a high speed. Considering the moving of frictional heat source and convection on a semi-infinite surface having inclined crack, theoretical analysis was carried out to estimate the propagation characteristics of thermo-mechanical crack. Numerical results showed that stress intensity factor $K_\prod/P_0\sqrt{c}$ is increasing with increasing velocity and frictional coefficient, inclined degree, decreasing crack length and the maximum value of it is positioned at the trailing edge. So it is shown that the propagation probability of surface crack is high at the trailing edge of contact area as increasing velocity and frictional coefficient, inclined degree, as decreasing crack length.
