A-Area: Simulation of the thermal and mechanical stresses in brake discs

Person in Charge: Dipl.-Ing. Stefan Schmid

Motivation and goals:
High applied loads at few construction space make computer simulation a necessary and important tool in the design of brake discs.
The required macroscopic material models will be deduced out of mesoscopic RVE-simulations of the microstructure and their homogenization.
Further, changes in microstructure due to thermal and mechanical loads will be modeled.
