ABSTRACT

A system of equations of heat dynamics of friction and wear (HDFW) for a pad–disc tribosystem during a single braking has been formulated. It takes into account the coefficient of friction dependent on the maximum temperature, which is the sum of the mean temperature of the nominal contact region (the macro contact) and the flash temperature on the real contact area (the micro contact), temperature-dependent properties of materials and wear. Numerical solution of the initial problem of motion and the nonlinear boundary-value heat conduction problem was obtained. Computations were performed using the axisymmetric FE contact model for the metal ceramic pad and the cast-iron disc.
