An investigation of thermal behaviour of brake disk pad assembly with Ansys

subject

description

Abstract The brake disk is a key part of the braking mechanism, the task of it is to slow or stop the vehicle's wheels, on the one side, while the heat produced during the process is dissipated. In this regard, the brake pads are pressed by mechanical strength on the surface of the brake disks. This study aims to develop a model of a disk brake by use of CATIA V5, on the model, finite element analysis (FEA) done by ANSYS 19 then compare it to the findings gained by the original tests. A computational thermo-mechanical study was conducted on this research by use of ANSYS software for disk brake mounting inside a hydraulic brake system. This study is designed to provide insight into the heat flow behavior within and around a brake disk during brake testing and simulations. Two cases have been analyzed. Experimental evaluations of a hydraulic brake system can verify the simulation models. Together with the ten successive brakes, numerical as well as experimental tests are made. The findings permit a comparison of the numerical and experimental temperatures to verify the models.
