“…With its substantial growth, the friction coeffi cient changes and usually its value drops. In eff ect, the braking effectiveness declines [1,7,13,15,17]. In addition, the resistance of cooperating elements to abrasive wear lowers.…”

“…In addition, the resistance of cooperating elements to abrasive wear lowers. Subject to considerable thermal loads, the result may also be the structural and chemical degradation of the frictional material [1,13,15]. In turn, thermal expansion is accompanied by deformation and heat stresses leading to short-term disruption of the cooperation between friction elements.…”
Whether railway brakes are eff ective or not substantially depends on the thermal condition of the disc brake and friction linings. An eff ective research method of the heat transfer in brakes is computer simulation as well as experimental testing on a full-size dynamometric test bench. A 2-dimensional, axisymmetric numerical model of transient heat conduction in the railway brake is presented. Relevant boundary conditions concerning heat generated in the brake and dissipated to the environment are used. Th e problem is solved with the use of the fi nite element method. Th e experimental test and simulation results related to intensive braking of the train from 320 km/h to a halt are preliminary compared. Th e approximate values of maximum temperatures at the end of braking are obtained-ca. 500°C with a certain divergence of temperature profi les during the process under consideration. It is advisable to further develop research concerning this problem.
“…Many researchers have investigated the thermal performance of lightweight disc brake rotors using different methods [1,3,4,5,10,11,12] but few of them have investigated their performance based on a formal optimisation analysis approach [6]. Taguchi defined the Design of Experiments (DOE) as a process for evaluating all possible combinations of parameters to reach the desired objective, both efficiently and reliably.…”
Section: Optimisation Of Alumina Coated Lightweight Brake Rotormentioning
Aluminium alloys have been used extensively in the automotive industry to reduce the weight of a vehicle and improve fuel consumption which in turn leads to a reduction in engine emissions. The main aim of the current study is to replace the conventional cast iron rotor material with a lightweight alternative such as coated aluminium alloy. The main challenge has been to meet both the cost and functional demands of modern mass-produced automotive braking systems. A sensitivity analysis based on the Taguchi approach was carried out to investigate the effect of various parameters on the thermal performance of a typical candidate disc brake. Wrought aluminium disc brake rotors coated with alumina on the rubbing surfaces were determined to have the best potential for replacing the conventional cast iron rotor at reasonable cost.Optimisation of the structure was subsequently carried out using a genetic algorithm on the selected coated aluminium disc brake rotor. This determines the optimum thickness of the coating and the composition of the substrate based on selected criteria. Prototype aluminium disc brake rotors were coated with alumina using the Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) technique and the thermal performance of these lightweight rotors was investigated experimentally using a brake dynamometer. A high speed thermal imaging system was used to evaluate and measure the rubbing surface temperature of the coated brake rotors. The experimental results showed generally good agreement with the numerical predictions. The coated wrought aluminium disc brake rotor was demonstrated to give good thermal and friction performance up to relatively high rubbing surface temperatures of the order of 500°C.
