For several years, increasing velocities and loads on modern trains have pushed the braking materials more and more to their limits. The temperatures reached by disc brakes are very difficult to predict locally because of the discontinuous contact surface between disc and pads and because of the non-uniform pressure distribution on this surface. This contact problem may also vary rapidly with time during a single braking and from one braking to the next one. The present work proposes a two-dimensional numerical approach calculating the evolution of the bearing surface between disc and pad, with an impact-contact analysis coupled with a thermomechanical resolution. The distribution and the evolution of the temperatures are calculated and compared to experimental measurements. The method can be used to assess the performance of braking systems and gives valuable indications for braking design.

High cycle fatigue damage caused by resonance can significantly affect the reliability and life of rotor blades in turbomachinery. Dry friction damper is widely used in vibration reduction design of joint components because of its excellent performance. To predict the vibration response of rotor blades with friction damper, it’s necessary to analyze the pressure distribution of contact area and determine the contact state of each point. Most researchers focused on the construction and improvement of friction models, and assumed that only the normal pressure distribution decides where slip and stick areas are, but the shear traction also play a role. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to quantitatively conduct the slip-stick area analysis of contact surface by means of theoretical derivation and numerical simulation. Both the non-dimensional normal pressure and shear traction distribution are obtained for different contact conditions. It is found that both the normal pressure and shear traction of each point dominate its contact state. Moreover, the area at contact edges always begins slipping firstly, even if the normal pressure there is much larger than contact center. The developed method will also help to establish more accurate partial-slip model for various jointed structures with friction damping.

In this study, we performed thermal stress analyses on a ventilated disk brake with a 3D model for two cases (whether the pressure distribution on a contact surface is uniform or not). A pressure distribution analysis was performed to determine the pressure distribution on the contact surface. Then, by using the results that were obtained from the pressure distribution analyses, we performed thermal stress analyses. Finally, we have found the spots where the maximum thermal stresses occur. Also, for the life evaluation of a disk brake, we have conducted the fatigue test and obtained the S-N curve. From those results, we evaluated the life of a disk brake.

A new method was developed to find the interface pressure distribution of metallic surfaces in contact by measuring the roughness change. The pressure distribution of two kinds of contact surfaces, a sphere and a flat surface, a flat end of a cylinder and a flat surface, was measured experimentally by the method and compared with that of the elasticity theory. As a result, it was shown that it is possible to find the pressure distribution by measuring the roughness change in the contact surface before and after contact.

The articulation of the femoral and tibial component contact surface is influenced by the alignment of these components. Malalignment of the total knee is perceived to increase the contact pressure and reduces the life of the polyethylene component. In this paper the contact pressure obtained from a experimental results [2] are used as the loading condition for a normal TKA alignment. In the case of a malalignment, we assumed that the loads at the interface do not change and the malalignment is to the femur component rotation. The results show that the pressure distribution is higher in the malaligned fit, which implies a reduced lifetime for the TKA. In the analysis, the experimental loads derived from cadaver knee testing are increased by a scale factor of 5, 10, 20, 50 to predict a more realistic loading condition of the knee. The effect of malrotation on the pressure distribution under these condition shows that the percentage change in the pressure distribution is slightly larger than that from the experimental loads.
