Abstract

This research aims to study the contact pressure behavior between the friction material surface and rotor disc surface subjected to thermal loading condition. Friction material and rotor disc geometry have been build using CATIA software before further exported to Hypemesh to proceed with numerical simulation of the braking system. The simulation undergoes two different type of analysis; modal analysis and contact pressure analysis. Modal analysis where the components of the braking system undergo free analysis while for contact pressure analysis, specific pressure and specific velocity are applied to the friction material and rotor disc to simulate braking system in function. The results show that thermal loading has a significant impact on the contact pressure and lining temperature distribution which are crucial to effective braking.
