Temperature Field in Solid Pad-disc Brake During Repeated Braking

The brake system is an important part of automobile safety system, The solid pad-disc brake system is divided into two parts: a rotating axisymmetrical disc, and the stationary pads, The frictional heat, which is generated on the interface of the disc and pads, can cause high temperature during the braking process. In the present study, the frictional contact pair is defined between the brake disc and pads to simulate the frictional heating behavior accurately. The pad-disc brake assembly is built by 3D model with the thermo-mechanical coupling boundary condition, The object of present work is determination of temperature distribution in the solid disc and pad by friction heat modeling for repeated braking.
