Brakes are machine elements that absorb kinetic energy in the process of slowing down or stopping a moving part. Brake capacity depends upon the unit pressure between the braking surfaces, the coefficient of friction, and the ability of the brake to dissipate heat equivalent to the energy being absorbed. In braking system, drum brake is used mostly for automotive application. During the braking process, the forces and pressures in a drum brake are difficult to determine because of the manner in which the shoe contacts the drum. Finite Element analysis has been used to predict interface temperatures and heat flows and the results have been compared with experimental measurements made using fine thermocouples. Good agreement has been achieved, showing that the proportion of heat which flows into the friction material varies with time and temperature.

Thermoelastic instability in automotive drum brake systems is investigated using a finite layer model with one-sided frictional heating. With realistic material properties of automotive brakes, the stability behavior of the one-sided heating mode is similar to that of the antisymmetric mode of two-sided heating but the critical speed of the former is higher than that of the latter. The effects of the friction coefficient and brake material properties on the critical speeds are examined and the most influential properties are found to be the coefficient of friction and the thermal expansion coefficient of drum materials. Vehicle tests were performed to observe the critical speeds of the drum brake systems with aluminum drum materials. Direct comparisons are made between the calculation and measurement for the critical speed and hot spot spacing. Good agreement is achieved when the critical speeds are calculated using the temperature-dependent friction material properties and the reduced coefficient of friction to account for the effect of intermittent contact.

Modal analyses of an S-cam drum brake assembly, using finite element analysis, are presented. A friction interface contact pressure-dependent model for the coupling between the lined brake shoe assembly and the brake drum is described. Using this model, natural modes and frequencies are predicted which compare well with measured data for the brake assembly. A parametric study of brake design and performance variables is presented which predicts the noise propensity of the brake design based on the binary flutter model. Good agreement with measured brake noise and trends, experience and other published work on S-cam brake noise is shown.


Safety side in engineering has been thought of as variety one priority in development of latest vehicle. Each single system has been studied and developed so as to satisfy safety demand. Instead of having bags, sensible suspension systems, sensible handling and safe cornering, there’s one of most crucial system within the vehicle that is brake systems. Without brake within the vehicle can place a traveller in unsafe position. Therefore, it’s a requirement for all vehicles to own correct brake. Due to vital system within the vehicle, several of researchers have conducted a study on brake and its entire part. In this project, the author has conducted a study on aerated and traditional disk brake of traditional traveller vehicle with full load of capability. The brake must be sufficiently designed in order to dissipate the heat generated from the braking process adequately for safe braking system performance. The aim of our project is to design and investigate the braking performance of the low cost passenger car with various materials like stainless steel, cast iron and aluminium alloy. The disc brake structure is changed with cross-drilled holes on the rotor of the disc for more heat dissipation using CATIA V5 R21 and performance study in term of its Structural property was determined using ANSYS finite element analysis software

This paper adopts finite-element method to analyze and test the factors which influence the brake shimmy. Based on the prototype of a particular heavy truck, finite element model of the brake shimmy about drum brake is developed upon the mechanism analysis of drum brake. The reasons that drum brake has oscillation phenomenon during braking process is analyzed by simulation and calculation the transient response in this process. Tests indicate that results of finite element analysis are consistent with the conclusion of real vehicle road test.

Abstract During a cornering maneuver by a vehicle, high forces are exerted on the tire's footprint and in the contact zone between the tire and the rim. To optimize the design of these components, a method is presented whereby the forces at the tire-rim interface and between the tire and roadway may be predicted using finite element analysis. The cornering tire is modeled quasi-statically using a nonlinear geometric approach, with a lateral force and a slip angle applied to the spindle of the wheel to simulate the cornering loads. These values were obtained experimentally from a force and moment machine. This procedure avoids the need for a costly dynamic analysis. Good agreement was obtained with experimental results for self-aligning torque, giving confidence in the results obtained in the tire footprint and at the rim. The model allows prediction of the geometry and of the pressure distributions in the footprint, since friction and slip effects in this area were considered. The model lends itself to further refinement for improved accuracy and additional applications.

Abstract Because the structural integrity of brake systems and tires can be related to the temperature, this work proposes a transient heat transfer finite element analysis (FEA) model to study the overheating in drum brake systems used in trucks and urban buses. To understand the mechanics of overheating, some constructive variants have been modeled regarding the assemblage: brake, rims, and tires. The model simultaneously studies the thermal energy generated by brakes and tires and how the heat is transferred and dissipated by conduction, convection, and radiation. The simulated FEA data and the experimental temperature profiles measured with thermocouples have been compared giving good correlation.

This work deals with the analysis of heat generation and dissipation in the disc brake of a car during braking and the following release period by using computer-aided engineering software for three different materials of the rotor disc and brake pad. The objective of this work is to analyze the temperature distribution of rotor disc during operation using COMSOL Multiphysics. The work uses the finite element analysis techniques to calculate and predict the temperature distribution on the brake disc and to identify the critical temperature of the brake rotor disc. Conduction, convection and radiation of heat transfer have been analyzed. The results obtained from the analysis indicates that different material on the same retardation of the car during braking shows different temperature distribution. A comparative study was made between grey cast iron (GCI), Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite (AMMC), Alloy steel materials are used for brake disc and the best material for making brake disc based on the rate of heat dissipation have been suggested.

Braking systems have a direct impact on the safety of road users. That is why it is crucial that the performance of brakes be dependable and faultless. Unfortunately, the operating conditions of brakes during their operating time are affected by many variables, which results in changes in their tribological properties. This article presents an attempt to develop a methodology for studying how the operating time affects the value of the coefficient of friction and the abrasive wear factor. The Taguchi method of process optimization was used to plan the experiment, which was based on tests using the ball-cratering method. The results clearly show that the degree of wear affects the properties of the friction material used in the production process of brakes.

Thermo-mechanical finite element analysis was carried out to study the deformation behavior and temperature distribution during equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). The material model used is the Johnson-Cook constitution model that can consider the multiplication effect of strain, strain rate, and temperature on the flow stress. The effects of pressing speed, pressing temperature, workpiece material and die geometry on the temperature rise and flow behavior during ECAP process were investigated. The simulated temperature rise due to deformation heating was compared with published experimental results and a good agreement was obtained. Among the various die geometries studied, the two-turn die with 0° round corner generates the highest and most uniform plastic strain in the workpiece.

This study aims to enhance the compressive properties of sandwich composites containing extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam core and glass or carbon face materials by using carbon/vinyl ester and glass/vinyl ester composite Z-pins. The composite pins were inserted into foam cores at two different densities (15 and 30 mm). Compression test results showed that compressive strength, modulus and loads of the sandwich composites significantly increased after using composite Z-pins. Sandwich composites with 15 mm pin densities exhibited higher compressive properties than that of 30 mm pin densities. The pin type played a critical role whilst carbon pin reinforced sandwich composites had higher compressive properties compared to glass pin reinforced sandwich composites. Finite element analysis (FE) using Abaqus software has been established in this study to verify the experimental results. Experimental and numerical results based on the capabilities of the sandwich composites to capture the mechanical behaviour and the damage failure modes were conducted and showed a good agreement between them.
