The composite brake rotors were subjected to dynamometer tests on a SCHENCK brake testing system, referring to TL110 standard of VOLKSWAGEN Co. The friction coefficient and thermal response during fade testing and the wear performance of the composite rotors were studied as the functions of various parameters such as braking pressures, initial speeds, initial temperatures, torque and decelerations, and were compared with those of conventional cast iron rotors. The results show that the properties of the composite rotors can achieve the requirements of commercial cast iron rotors. The results also show that the friction coefficients of the composite rotors under different braking conditions are within the deviation band specified by the TL110 standard, and the temperature rise of composite rotors is lower than that of cast iron rotors at the end of each fade stop. The wear resistance of composite rotors is higher than that of cast iron rotors. The friction mechanism and wear mechanism were analyzed.展开更多

The rotor finite element model is based on the Timoshenko beam theory, accounting for the shaft rotary inertia and gyroscopic moments. The governing equations for the hydrodynamic journal bearing are obtained through the Galerkin weighted residual method applied to the classical Reynolds equation. A perturbation scheme on the fluid film governing equation permits to obtain the zero-th and first order lubrication equations for the bearings, which allow the computation of the dynamic force coefficients associated with the bearing stiffness and damping. The rotor-bearing system equation, which consists of a case of damped gyroscopic equation, is rewritten on state form to compute the complex eigenvalues. The natural frequencies at several operating conditions are obtained and compared to the technical literature data. The influence of the effective damping on the eigenvalue real part sign is analyzed for some examples of rotor-bearing systems, showing how the stability conditions can be predicted by the eigenvalue analysis. The procedure implemented in this work can provide useful guidelines and technical data about the selection of the more appropriate set of bearing parameters for rotating machines operating at stringent conditions.展开更多
