Transient Thermal Effects in Disc Brakes.

Abstract

An investigation was undertaken with the ultimate objective being to develop a general theoretical model for predicting temperatures within the stators, rotors, rim, torque tube, tire, fuse plug and bead seat of a typical disc brake assembly. The effort was divided into four phases: (1) Temperature Measurement Analysis, (2) Theoretical Analysis of Brake and Component Parts, (3) Full Scale Brake Tests, and (4) Correlation of Results.
