Finite Element Modelling of Ventilated Brake Disc Hot Spotting
Hot spotting of automotive disc brakes is an undesired thermal localisation phenomenon, which is a challenge for numerical modelling in terms of both accuracy and efficiency especially for complex disc geometry. In this research, the aim was to develop a computationally efficient finite element …

Coupling Numerical Analysis of Vibration and Thermal Buckling of an Automotive Brake Disc
<p>An engaged brake system generates high temperature gradients in the brake rotor and brake pads. This high temperature gradient in turn induces thermal buckling. During high speed rotation, vibration is likely to occur in the system. In terms of a brake disc vibration will occur when there is a …

Lightweight friction brakes for a road vehicle with regenerative braking. Design analysis and experimental investigation of the potential for mass reduction of friction brakes on a passenger car with regenerative braking.
… braking (RB) will minimize duty levels on the brakes, giving advantages including extended brake rotor and friction material life and, more significantly, reduced brake mass and minimised brake pad wear. In this thesis, a mathematical analysis (MATLAB) has been used to analyse the accessibility …

Cooling of a caliper disc brake by forced convection from a ventilated fan wheel
… of the lining temperatures of a caliper disc brake by conversion of the standard mass produced wheel into a ventilated fan unit. The prerequisite was a newly designed vehicle wheel, fabricated in the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Lining …

Experimental investigations and finite element analyses of interface heat partition in a friction brake system. New modelling paradigm for describing friction brake systems to support studies of interface temperature, contact pressure, heat flux distribution and heat partition ratio by experiment and FE simulation
… design considerations for developing effective disc brake system performance. Very high braking temperatures can introduce effects detrimental to performance such as brake fade, premature wear, brake fluid vaporization, bearing failure, thermal cracks, and thermally-excited vibration [2]. This …

Recycling of worn-out vehicular brake pads and discs
Disc brake systems are extensively used in almost all vehicles for braking. The brake pads and discs are usually replaced with new ones before being entirely worn out to maintain their tribological performance. This work highlights the significance of sustainable and environmentally friendly …
