1. 1. HEAT TRANSIENT TRANSFER ANALYSIS OF BRAKE DISC /PAD SYSTEM

   University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

   Author : Srivatsan Thuppal Vedanta; Naga Vamsi Krishna Kora; [2016]
   Keywords : Brake disc; Brake dimensioning; Heat transient analysis; Finite Element; Calibration;

   Abstract : Braking is mainly controlled by the engine. Friction between a pair of pads and a rotating disc converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat. High temperatures can be reached in the system which can be detrimental for both, components and passenger safety. READ MORE

3. 2. Simulation of thermal stresses in a disc brake

   University essay from JTH. Forskningsmiljö Produktutveckling - Simulering och optimering

   Author : Jiyue Tao; Asnaf Aziz; [2012]
   Keywords : DISC BRAKE; ABAQUS; FATIGUE ANALYSIS; PLASTICITY; FLOW RULE; HARDENING; STRESS AND STAIN ANANLYSIS;

   Abstract : The heat flux produced from the friction between a disc and pad system leads to a high temperature which causes thermal stresses in the disc and after a number of repeated braking cycles, cracks might be initiated. The finite element analysis (FEA) is performed to determine the temperatures profile in the disc and to analyze the stresses for the repeated braking, which could be used to calculate the fatigue life of a disc.

4. 3.  Benefits of regenerative braking and eco driving for high-speed trains :  Energy consumption and brake wear

   University essay from KTH/Spårfordon

   Author : Mikael Sjöholm; [2011]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : on mechanical brakes. The electric regenerative brakes can thus be used as normal service brake with minimum time loss.The first part of the study aims at developing a method to calculate wear on train brake pads. READ MORE
