Abstract
The system parameters of the braking process of a rotary eddy current brake (RECB) exhibit time-varying characteristics and alternate transformations of the heat source (HS) and non-heat source (NHS) regions of the brake disc. A full-structure equivalent thermal network model for the RECB system is established, considering its physical structure. In addition, a calculation method is proposed to update the temperature of the rotating unit with a finite stepping distance. The method employs the transient process of electromagnetic thermal coupling on the brake disc, distinguishes between the thermal processes in the HS and NHS regions of the brake disc, and simulates the temperature distribution of the entire braking system. The proposed calculation method is verified via rig tests, and the effects of brake temperature rise on braking performance are assessed. The method can be used for optimal design, heat capacity analysis, and life analysis of brakes.
期刊介绍：
The aim of the Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology is to provide an international forum for the publication and dissemination of original work that contributes to the understanding of the main and related disciplines of mechanical engineering, either empirical or theoretical. The Journal covers the whole spectrum of mechanical engineering, which includes, but is not limited to, Materials and Design Engineering, Production Engineering and Fusion Technology, Dynamics, Vibration and Control, Thermal Engineering and Fluids Engineering.
Manuscripts may fall into several categories including full articles, solicited reviews or commentary, and unsolicited reviews or commentary related to the core of mechanical engineering.
