... is simulated up to a steady state by using the present method. Both coupling methods in Sec. 2B , the automatic heat partition and the partition by gap conductance, are used. Similar results are obtained. The results with the heat partitioned by gap conductance are presented in the following. Figures 19...

... GPa. Experimental measurements of contact friction were used as the basis for a thermal analysis of the disks and their associated support shafts. Temperatures measured by embedded thermocouples 3.2 mm below the running tracks of the disks were used to determine the heat partition between the faster...

... generation. This micro-macro model gives original indications on the temperatures near the contact surfaces, on the thermal gradients between the two components and on the heat partition between the two bodies during the braking time. Comparison with classical thermal models is discussed. Contributed...
