TY - JOUR A1 - Dmitriev, Andrey A1 - Ă–sterle, Werner T1 - Modeling of brake pad-disc interface with emphasis to dynamics and deformation of structures JF - Tribology International N2 - The frictional behavior at local contacts in an automotive brake system was analysed on the basis of computer simulation by movable cellular automata method. The boundary conditions of the model were adjusted to experimental observations obtained by TEM. The model proved to be adequate for simulating mechanical mixing and velocity accommodation at the pad-disc interface. Dynamics of particle interaction were visualized by showing rotation angles and velocity vectors. The model provided information on the development of plastic deformation for metal-on-metal contacts and on crack formation at graphite lamellae of cast iron disc. Results are in agreement with conventional friction theories.
