The article presents a fully coupled 3D thermomechanical model of a railway vehicle disc
brake for calculations of temperature, stress, contact pressure and wear distributions. Five …

A promising direction in developing up-to-date transport vehicles is the use of transmissions,
an essential element of which is a dual-clutch. Improving functional performance, energy …

The outer circlip constraint is a typical way for a wet multidisc clutch to limit the axial
displacement of friction components. The pressure transmission mechanism in a clutch …

A two-dimensional contact problem for an elastic layer of a finite thickness is considered with
the effects of friction and wear taken into account. It is assumed that the contact zone is …

This paper consists of two parts. The first one contains a description and methodology of the
composite material used as friction material in clutches. Four variants of such material …

The transient thermal and thermoelastic analysis of an automotive multidisc clutch is
performed to investigate the thermal deformation and the contact pressure distribution of the …

Wear and surface microgeometry aspects of fiber-reinforced hybrid composite dry friction
clutch facings are revealed in a novel way: after different, real life automotive tests during …

Based on the example of wear of polymers, which exhibit a power-law time variation of the
wear loss under constant loading conditions, a fractional time-derivative wear equation has …

This article presents a contact 3D thermomechanical finite element model of a railway
vehicle disk brake. The distinctive feature of the model is the interdependence of the sliding …

This paper is focused on the analysis of complex rotating structures subjected to plausible
operating conditions. Effects of the temperature gradient and the centrifugal stiffening …
