“…This is not surprising, as these points are 'far' from heat source area. In accordance with the presented results, other studies also confirmed maximum temperature location at mid-surface of disc [24,34]. On the other hand, this finding is contrary to previous studies who reported maximum temperature at outer radius of disc [23]; meanwhile, others reported extreme radius (inner and outer) as location of maximum temperature [22,35].…”

Railway disc brake is vulnerable to surface damages including fade, wear, squeal, thermal cracks and fatigue being just few of them. To counteract these negative consequences, reliable thermal model that can accommodate space and time variables is essential. The aim of this study is to develop new non-axisymmetric moving heat source and compare its efficiency with pre-existing traditional models. Factors responsible for temperature spatial and temporal variation are identified first and then programmed in ANSYS APDL similar capability to a FORTRAN. Heat flux and convection coefficients are calculated by empirical equations and stored in parameters and arrays for later use, based on small time and pad angular increment. The modelling is to successfully solve the problems in traditional models by estimating surface temperature difference as high as 49 °C, within acceptable computation time. Besides, its consideration of radial distance reported variations from traditional models as high as 10% and 60% in moving heat source and axisymmetric, respectively. And, it is also verified with the literature within acceptable variation. Finally, it is suggested that the model can be applied in conducting pad geometry optimization, thermal stress and fatigue life of disc brake.

“…Wang et al studied the temperature trends of train brake discs in the process of high-speed braking and concluded that the change in temperature causes fluctuation in the instantaneous friction coefficient and a distribution of thermal stress on the brake disc, which implied thermal damage [12] . B. Ghadimi et al conducted a three-dimensional simulation analysis on the brake temperature field of the wheel-mounted brake disc of an ER24PC locomotive and compared the results with experimental results.…”

During the braking process, a large amount of heat energy is generated at the friction surfaces between the brake disc and pads and rapidly dissipates into the disc volume. In this paper, a three-dimensional thermo-mechanical coupling model of high-speed wheel-mounted brake discs containing bolted joints and contact relationships is established. The direct coupling method is used to analyse the temperature and stress of the brake discs during an emergency braking event with an initial speed of 300 km/h. A full-scale bench test is also conducted to monitor the temperatures of the friction ring and bolted joints. The simulation result shows that the surface temperature of the friction ring reaches its peak value of 413.7°C after 102 s of braking, which agrees well with the bench test result. The maximum alternating thermal stress occurs in the bolt hole where the maximum circumferential compressive stress is -658 MPa and the maximum circumferential tensile stress is 134 MPa. During the braking process, the out-of-plane deformation of the middle part of the friction ring is larger than that of the edge, which increases the axial tensile load of the connecting bolt. This work provides support for the design of brake discs and connecting bolts.

“…The temperature evolution of the train brake disc during high-speed braking was investigated using the infrared thermography technique, as well as the finite element modeling in the paper [ 23 ]. Moreover, the one-dimensional heat conduction model was applied to calculate the maximum temperature variations during single braking, based on the solution received in the paper [ 24 ].…”

A one-dimensional thermal problem of friction was formulated, taking into account the contact pressure increase at the beginning of the process. The obtained solution to this problem allows for the quick calculation of the transient temperature distribution in a railway brake disc during single braking application. In order to validate the developed model, the experimental tests were performed for two friction pairs consisting of the cast iron brake disc and pads comprising two composite materials. Theoretical results were compared with the data measured by thermocouples embedded in the brake disc during the full-size dynamometer tests. The maximum temperature values found based on the analytical solution are convergent with the corresponding empirical data. The consistency of the results obtained for two friction couples demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed computational model.
