Thermoelastic Instabilities in Automotive Brakes and Clutches

[9619527] Barber作者以前对摩擦接触加热引起的热弹性变形问题的特征值解将推广到摄动沿滑动方向运动的一般情况。例如，这与汽车卡钳制动器和自动变速器离合器等部件的热弹性屈曲和一般性能有关。分析研究和FEM解决方案将得到工业合作者的验证和补充，其中一个是汽车制动实验室，另一个是自动变速器制造商。工业投入将部分以测试数据的形式出现，部分以知识转移的形式出现，通过让两位撰写项目论文的学生在各自的工业基地度过暑假作为实习生获得知识转移。＊＊＊

9619527 Barber The author's previous eigenvalue solutions for the problem of thermoelastic distortions due to frictional contact heating will be extended to the general case where the perturbations are moving in the direction of sliding. This is relevant, for example, to the thermoelastic buckling and general performance of components such as automotive caliper brakes and automatic transmission clutches. The analytical studies and FEM solutions will be validated and supplemented with input from industrial collaborators, one an automotive brake laboratory and the other a manufacturer of automatic transmissions. The industrial input will be partly in the form of test data and partly as knowledge transfer obtained by having the two students who do their theses on the project spend their summers as interns at the respective industrial sites. ***
