In this article, the effect of different time profiles of friction power on a temperature distribution in friction element of a brake has been analyzed. For this purpose, a one-dimensional heat problem of friction during braking for 10 temporal profiles of the specific power of friction has been formulated and solved exactly. Based on the analytical solutions, numerical calculations of the temperature distributions have been carried out. A comparative analysis of the obtained results with corresponding data, that were found using an approximate solution from the Chichinadze's monograph titled Calculation and study of external friction during braking, has also been performed. Conducted numerical analysis has allowed us to establish the applicability limits of this approximate solution. We also determined that the temporal profile of friction power has a significant influence on the evolution of the surface temperature, and on temperature field inside a disk brake.
An algorithm to determine the maximum temperature of brake systems during repetitive short-term (RST) braking mode has been proposed. For this purpose, the intermittent mode of braking was given in the form of a few cyclic stages consisting of subsequent braking and acceleration processes. Based on the Chichinadze’s hypothesis of temperature summation, the evolutions of the maximum temperature during each cycle were calculated as the sum of the mean temperature on the nominal contact surface of the friction pair elements and temperature attained on the real contact areas (flash temperature). In order to find the first component, the analytical solution to the one-dimensional thermal problem of friction for two semi-spaces taking into account frictional heat generation was adapted. To find the flash temperature, the solution to the problem for the semi-infinite rod sliding with variable velocity against a smooth surface was used. In both solutions, the temperature-dependent coefficient of friction and thermal sensitivity of materials were taken into account. Numerical calculations were carried out for disc and drum brake systems. The obtained temporal variations of sliding velocity, friction power and temperature were investigated on each stage of braking. It was found that the obtained results agree well with the corresponding data established by finite element and finite-difference methods.
The mathematical model of heating process for a friction system made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) was proposed. For this purpose, the boundary-value problem of heat conduction was formulated for two semi-spaces under uniform sliding taking into consideration heating due to friction. Assuming an exponential change in thermal conductivities of the materials, the exact, as well as asymptotic (for small values of time), solutions to this problem were obtained. A numerical analysis was performed for two elements made of ZrO2–Ti-6Al-4V and Al3O2–TiC composites. The influence of the gradient parameters of both materials on the evolution and spatial distributions of the temperature were investigated. The temperatures of the elements made of FGMs were compared with the temperatures found for the homogeneous ceramic materials.
A mathematical model to analyse the influence of change of the friction power over time on temperature of a pad-disc tribosystem has been proposed. For this purpose, a boundary--value problem of heat conduction for two semi-infinite bodies with taking into account heat generation due to friction on the contact surface has been formulated. Exact solutions of this problem were obtained for seven temporal profiles of the specific heat generation power, which were established experimentally. For selected friction materials, numerical analysis of the spatiotemporal temperature distributions and heat fluxes intensities were executed. The obtained results were compared with a corresponding data which were found by means of the known approximate solution.
