The temperature and stress distributions in a disk under single braking have been studied. The finite-element method (FEM) has been used to obtain a numerical solution to the heat-conduction boundary problem for a steadily decelerated rotating disk heated in a local area of the working surface by a frictional heat flow. Given the temperature field, the finite-element method has been used to solve the corresponding quasistatic thermoelasticity boundary problem. The elastostatic boundary problem has been numerically solved separately for a disk loaded with distributed normal and shear stresses in the contact area. The complete field of stresses in the disk has been determined by adding up elastic and thermoelastic components. Numerical analysis has been performed for a cerametallic (FMC-11) pad—cast-iron (ChNMKh) disk friction couple.
