Abstract


This paper presents an investigation of the temperature variation of the two most important components of the braking system of a mine hoist, the disk and the pads respectively. Based on the complete model of the brake system created at 1:1 scale in SolidWorks, by taking into consideration only the disk, it’s mounting surface and the brake pads, the temperature variation was determined using the Heat Transfer Module of the COMSOL Multiphysics software in the case of an emergency braking. The study highlights the possibilities offered by COMSOL in the investigation of the heating and cooling effects in various devices, components or processes.
