The following paper presents a description of the concept of numerical simulation of the friction lining wear process. Additionally, individual stages of building a numerical model of a friction lining test bench will be presented. The analysis of the braking process was carried out using a numerical code employing an explicit integration scheme, taking into account the numerical conversion of friction forces into heat. Preliminary simulations of wear phenomena on a microscopic scale using the SPH method were conducted.Nowadays, it is standard for mass-produced cars to be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h on a road approximately 200 m long in 10 seconds or less.
Under identical conditions, but during deceleration (braking), this takes about 3-5 seconds. Based on this example, one can see the requirements placed on the braking system, which is one of the most important systems having a significant impact on road safety. (…)
