Drum brake thermal analysis
Drum brake thermal analysis
(OP)
Hello,
I am trying to complete a thermal analysis of a drum brake. The pressure distribution is nonuniform and so as such causes a nonuniform heat flux and I am wondering if there is an easy way to model this in ANSYS.
Any help appreciated

The drum has some thermal mass in the friction area, look at a heat input that varies at rate of wheel rotation?
