Abstract: By the numerical calculation of dynamic lining pressure
distributions, temperature fields and thermal stress fields of
steel plates, a method using nonlinear finite element techniques
to analyze failure mechanism of a multiple disc wet brake is
detailed, and some measures for combatting these failures are
provided.
Key words: Wet
brake Failure mechanism Finite element
