Application to vented brake discs

periodic steady state algorithm, cyclic moving load, brake disc, thermomechanicsAbstract
The purpose of the paper is to present a new numerical method suitable for the computation of periodic structures subjected to repeated moving loads. It directly derives from the stationary methods proposed for cylindrical and axisymmetrical structures. Its mains features are the use of a calculation reference related to the moving loads and the periodic property of the thermomechanical response. These methods are developped by PSA and the Ecole Polytechnique, in order to design vented brake discs. In this paper, a brief description of the algorithm is first given and examples of numerical simulations of a vented brake disc are treated.
