Abstract

An operation of a brake at robust thermal loads leads to high-temperature gradients in brake components. This in turn may induce thermal stresses due to thermal expansion. In this article, both uncoupled and coupled problems of thermoelasticity for the frictional heat generation in disk brakes and clutches using the finite element method are presented and analyzed. The article covers a wide range of studies providing the concluding remarks and key factors affecting a change in the distribution of stresses in different types of the disk brakes and clutches, operating parameters, materials, etc.
