5. 8. Simulation of Thermal Stresses in a Brake Disc

   Author : Asim Rashid; Niclas Strömberg; Tore Vernersson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In this thesis thermal stresses in a brake disc during a braking operation are simulated. The simulations are performed by using a sequential approach where the temperature history generated during a frictional heat analysis is used as an input for the stress analysis. READ MORE

6. 9. Laboratory measurements of airborne emissions from car brakes for clean air

   Author : Guido Perricone; Ulf Olofsson; Fulvio Amato; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automotive brake; non-exhaust emissions; inertia brake dynamometer; airborne particles; PM10; PN; isokinetic sampling; Rebrake; volatiles; real driving cycle; car brake emission factors; running-in.; Bilbroms; icke-avgasemissioner; skivbromsdynamometer; luftburna partiklar; PM10; PN; isokinetisk provtagning; Rebrake; volatiler; verkliga körcykler; emissionsfaktorer; in-körning.; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

   Abstract : Brake systems are used to safely stop vehicles. The brake pads are pressed against the brake disc, transforming the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat to be dissipated. READ MORE

7. 10. A study of airborne wear particles from automotive disc brakes

   Author : Jens Wahlström; Ulf Olofsson; Werner Österle; KTH; []
   Keywords : Disc brakes; Airborne wear particles; Nanoparticles; Cellular automaton; Mechanical engineering; Maskinteknik;

   Abstract : During braking, both the disc and pads in disc brakes are worn. Since disc brakes are not sealed,some of the wear particles generated can become airborne. READ MORE
