The proposed Adhesion-Deformation-Hydrodynamic model of friction and wear is based on the relationship of elastic-deformation processes in the surfaces of curvilinear contacts with hydrodynamic regular processes of extrusion and rarefaction in lubricating layers in tribocontacts, as well as with the processes of primary adhesion of friction surfaces and subsequent acts of adhesive wear. The proposed Adhesion-Deformation-Hydrodynamic model of friction and wear and its main provisions on the relationship between extrusion, rarefaction in lubricating layers and primary adhesion of friction surfaces of curvilinear contacts cover the entire load-speed range and all modes of lubrication of friction surfaces

This paper describes the study of ventilated car disc brakes stress-strain conditions and friction under the pressure using the ANSYS environment. Such influencing factors are taken into account in the course of research as angular speed value, the pressure of the pads on the disk, the nature of the load application, convection, thermal expansion, etc. Computer modelling of the stress field and the transient thermal field in the area of contact between the pads and the disk is provided by the method of sequential thermostructural communication of the intermediate states of the brake model directly in the ANSYS Coupled Field Transient environment. Besides, the ANSYS calculations were also performed based on the primitive assembly model of two steel blocks (the discrepancy was less than 3%) to determine the identity of the theoretical knowledge about the heating of bodies as a result of the work to overcome frictional forces. Finally, a high level of calculation results convergence by analytical formulas and computer modelling was established. Since this approach justified itself, its principles were taken as a basis in the calculations of ventilated disc brakes of cars, which significantly facilitates their application, knowing the area of the active part of the disc (the rest of the boundary conditions are typical and correspond to the normal operating modes of the vehicle).
