Thermal stresses as a result from frictional heating must be considered when designing disc brakes, clutches or other rotating machine components with sliding contact conditions. The rotational symmetry of the disc in these kind of applications makes it possible to model these systems using an Eulerian approach instead of a Lagrangian framework. In this paper such an approach is developed and implemented. The disc is formulated in an Eulerian frame where the convective terms are defined by the angular velocity. By utilizing the Eulerian framework, a node-to-node formulation of the contact interface is obtained, producing most accurate frictional heat power solutions. The energy balance of the interface is postulated by introducing an interfacial temperature. Both frictional power and contact conductances are included in this energy balance. The contact problem is solved by a non-smooth Newton method. By adopting the augmented Lagrangian approach, this is done by rewriting Signorini’s contact conditions to an equivalent semi-smooth equation. The heat transfer in the disc is discretized by a Petrov–Galerkin approach, i.e. the numerical difficulties due to the non-symmetric convective matrix appearing in a pure Galerkin discretization is treated by following the streamline-upwind approach. In such manner a stabilization is obtained by adding artificial conduction along the streamlines. For each time step the thermo-elastic contact problem is first solved for the temperature field from the previous time step. Then, the heat transfer problem is solved for the corresponding frictional power. In such manner a temperature history is obtained sequentially via the trapezoidal rule. In particular the parameter is set such that both the Crank–Nicolson and the Galerkin methods are utilized. The method seems very promising. This is demonstrated by solving a two-dimensional benchmark as well as a real disc brake system in three dimensions.
