Abstract
Vehicles need to brake frequently on long downhill sections. In this case, the surface of the friction lining is prone to accumulating a large amount of heat, which will reduce the performance of the braking material and lead to braking failure. This article analyzes the heat generation and dissipation mechanism during the braking process of drum brakes based on the law of energy conservation, and establishes a thermal conductivity differential equation. Subsequently, with the honeycomb texture as the biomimetic target, circular, square, and honeycomb patterns with different parameters were designed on the surface of the friction lining, and a finite element model was established using Ansys Workbench. Thermodynamic coupling analysis shows that patterned friction lining can reduce the maximum temperature of the braking surface. Honeycomb patterns have better heat dissipation effects than circular and square patterns. Compared with non patterned brake pads, honeycomb patterns can reduce the maximum surface temperature of brake pads by 14.6%. When the surface area ratio of the honeycomb is 56.8%, its heat dissipation effect is the best.
