Problem:
In case of technical failure in windmills, masses with huge moments
of inertia have to be stopped by disk brakes within seconds.
One is interested in the transient temperature distribution in the brake
in order to predict the possible occurance of cracks due to thermal stresses.
Results
The picture shows the temperature distribution in the disk brake
and the the brake lining after an emergency braking. The maximal temperature is around
600 degrees centigrade.
Transferable expertise:
Mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of
conservation laws.
Solution of heat and diffusion problems.
