TRANSIENT THERMO-STRESS FIELD OF BRAKE SHOE DURING MINE HOIST EMERGENCY BRAKING

摘要

In this paper, the finite element (FE) model of the three-dimensional (3-D) transient thermo-stress field of a brake shoe was established and then the software ANSYS 13.0 was used to get the numerical solutions; an experiment was carried out on the X-DM friction tester to verify the FE model. It was found that both the whole temperature and the equivalent stresses of the brake shoe increased and then decreased during mine hoist emergency braking; region of 1 to 3 mm below the friction surface was suffered to larger temperature gradients and stresses.
