An operation of a brake at robust thermal loads leads to high-temperature gradients in brake
components. This in turn may induce thermal stresses due to thermal expansion. In this …

A multiscale modeling is proposed in this paper to study needled carbon/carbon composite.
According to the microscopic observation of three-dimensional (3D) needled carbon/carbon …

Both of the frictional heat and thermal contact resistance have a grave responsibility for the
localized high temperature (hot spots) at the contact region, which is known as one of the …

The conductive heat transfer between two elastic bodies in the static contact can cause the
system to be unstable due to the interaction between the thermoelastic distortion and …

Thermoelastic instabilities in tribological systems, such as brakes or clutches, appear in the
shapes of Hot Bands and Hot Spots. Focused temperatures increase as a result of an …

The interaction between the thermoelastic distortion and pressure-dependent thermal
contact resistance can cause the themoelastic instability when the conductive heat transfers …

In this paper, vibration and stability analysis of a rotating Functionally Graded Material (FGM)
disc brake considering the hot band phenomena are studied. In order to model the hot band …

The perturbation method is applied to investigate the frictionally excited thermoelastic
dynamic instability (TEDI) of a functionally graded material (FGM) coating in half-plane …

In the paper results of simulation of active reduction of vibration of the free-fixed beam by
piezoelectic actuators made of functionally graded materials are presented. The aim of …
