Distribution and Dissipation of Braking Power of Wet Mutidisc Brake

摘要

To study the distribution and dissipation of braking power of wet multidics brake and determine thermal load and thermal flux distribution between mated discs, the concept of distributing brake power four times was put forward. The third and the fourth distribution of brae power were calculated by using finite element (FE) software ANSYS. The third and the fourth distribution of wt multisided brake are mainly related to material characteristics of discs during emergency braking, while most of the braking power is carried off during continuous braking. Basis is provided for further analysis of disc failure and applicability of different friction materials.
