Abstract: Thermoelastic instability in automotive drum brake systems is investigated using a finite layer model with one-sided frictional heating. With realistic material properties of automotive brakes, the ...

Abstract: Hot spotting and judder phenomena were observed in automotive aluminum drum brakes. A vehicle judder test schedule was developed to determine the critical speed for thermoelastic instability ...

Abstract: Thermoelastic instability in an automotive disk brake system is investigated experimentally under drag braking conditions. The onset of instability is clearly identifiable through the observation ...

Abstract: Thermoelastic instability in automotive disk brake systems is investigated focusing on the effect of a finite disk thickness. A finite layer model with an antisymmetric mode of deformation can ...

Abstract: In many sliding systems, the sliding surfaces are not coextensive, so that points on one surface experience alternating periods of contact and separation. This intermittent process can be expected ...
