Optimization of the Thermal and Mechanical Behavior of an Aeronautical Brake Disc using the Design of Experiments Approach

摘要

The design of brake discs has been the subject of numerous studies. Indeed, the effectiveness of the brakes and thus the safety of the passengers significantly depend on the design of the braking system. In order to understand mechanical and thermal behavior of brake disc, many experimental studies have been conducted to measure brake disc temperature distribution and thermal stress [1-3]. Noting also that the FE approach is widely employed in solving such as problems related to braking phase [4, 5].
