The sustainable exploitation of raw materials, with improved safety and increased productivity, is closely linked to the development of mechanical mining installations. Mine hoists are designed for the transport of material, equipment and personnel between the mine surface and the underground. The mine hoist braking system is of paramount importance in its safe operation. Thus, for both drum and disc brake systems, the temperature of the friction surfaces is important for ensuring efficient braking, as exceeding the temperature threshold causes a decrease in the braking capacity. In this paper we present a numerical calculation model for the temperature of the braking disc of a mine hoist in the case of emergency braking. A real-scale model was built, based on the cable drive wheel and disc brake system of a hoisting machine used in Romania. Real material characteristics were imposed for the brake discs, the cable drive wheel and the brake pads. The simulation was performed for decelerations of 3, 3.5, 4 and 4.5 m/s2. The analysis shows that regardless of the acceleration and time simulated, the disc temperature reaches its maximum after 1.35 s of emergency braking. This value does not exceed the 327 °C limit where, according to previous studies, the braking power starts to fade. It means that the emergency braking is safe for the acceleration and masses under consideration, in the case of the studied mine hoist.

Dynamic brake characteristics of disc brake during emergency braking of the kilometer deep coal mine hoist were investigated in the present study. The theoretical model of dynamic brake torque of disc brake during emergency braking was given to explore dynamic brake torque properties of disc brake. The three-dimensional thermo-mechanical coupled finite element model of brake disc–brake shoe was established to explore thermo-mechanical characteristics of disc brake during emergency braking. Effects of effective mass, hoisting acceleration and deceleration, and maximum hoisting speed on dynamic brake torques, equivalent von Mises stress, and temperature fields of disc brake during emergency braking were presented. The results show that the evolutions of brake torque, equivalent stress, and temperature of disc brake present fluctuating characteristics. The dynamic brake torque shows the largest change amplitude during emergency braking in the hoisting stage of constant speed. The largest equivalent stress and temperature are both located near the third brake shoe along the rotational direction at each side. An increase in effective mass causes overall decreases in the peak values of brake torque, equivalent stress, and temperature during emergency braking. Increases in hoisting acceleration/deceleration and maximum hoisting speed cause the increases in the maximum equivalent stress and temperature during emergency braking as compared to the slight decrease in the maximum brake torque.

A simplified thermo-structural coupling finite element model of disc brake was developed. The contact pressure distribution of new pad was simulated under an emergency braking condition. The result shows that the contact pressure distribution of pad is not uniform when the new pad is in normal working condition. The inhomogeneity of the contact pressure is a critical cause of tangential partial wear. Compared the contact pressure distribution of new pad, uniform wear pad and tangential partial wear pad, the influence of wear amount and tangential partial wear on the contact pressure of pad was investigated. The results prove that the influence of wear amount on the contact pressure of pad is very small, while tangential partial wear has a great influence on the contact pressure of pad. The wear and force characteristics of pad are analyzed. The wear of its life cycle of pad is obtained, and the reliability and accuracy of the simulation are verified.

In the process of automobile braking, the interaction between the temperature and the dynamic stress of disc brake is a very complex work. In order to simulate this problem accurately, a three-dimensional finite element model was built. Meanwhile the displacement and thermal boundary conditions for solution were determined, in which the coefficient of convection varies with the transient changing of temperature and time. The distributions of stress field and temperature field of the rotor and pads in an emergency braking were analyzed by the direct coupling method. The results of analysis prove that the thermal-structural direct coupling method can simulate the interaction between the stress field and the temperature field more exactly than the axisymmetric method and sequential coupling method do. The changing of stress field is mainly influenced by the temperature field. The results extracted from coupled simulation can give references for the material selection and structural designs in the development of disc brake.

The friction wear and thermal fatigue cracking of the brake shoe and friction-induced self-excited vibration (frictional flutter) of the disc brake can easily occur during emergency braking of a deep coal mine hoist with at high speed and with a heavy load. Therefore, tribo-brake characteristics between the brake disc and brake shoe during emergency braking of a deep coal mine hoist are investigated in the present study. Scaled parameters of the disc brake of a deep coal mine hoist are determined by employing the similarity principle. Friction tests between friction disc and brake shoe are carried out to obtain the coefficient of friction in the case of high speed and large specific pressure between the friction disc and brake shoe. Coupled thermo-mechanical finite element analyses of the brake disc and brake shoe are established to investigate temperature and stress fields of the brake disc and brake shoe during emergency braking, which is validated by the engineering failure case. Effects of braking parameters on flutter characteristics between the brake disc and brake shoe are explored by employing a double-degrees-of-freedom vibration mechanism model. The results show that the maximum temperature, equivalent Von Mises stress and contact pressure are all located at the average friction radii of contact surfaces of the brake disc and brake shoe during emergency braking. The cage crashing accident in the case of high speed and heavy load in a typical coal mine shows crack marks and discontinuous burn marks at central locations of brake shoe and brake disc surfaces, respectively, which indicates frictional flutter characteristics between brake disc and brake shoe. During emergency braking, flutter time duration decreases with increasing initial braking speed and damping parameter; the flutter amplitude and frequency of the disc brake increases with increasing normal braking load and stiffness, respectively.
