Three-element model of frictional heating during braking with contact thermal resistance and time-dependent pressure

The solution to a thermal problem of friction during braking for a three-element tribosystem disc/pad/caliper with time-dependent specific power of friction and heat transfer through a contact surface has been obtained. The influence of duration of increase in pressure (from zero at the initial moment of time to nominal value at the moment of a stop) and the Biot number on the temperature for such materials as cast iron disc/metal–ceramic pad/steel caliper has been studied.
