Abstract

The obligatory demands on the belt conveyor braking system under a wide variety of operating conditions are high and diverse. Improvements in the operating conditions of conveyor belt systems are made more difficult because braking is deterministic by nature. The performance of the belt conveyor brake mainly affected the role of the braking system because its performance was due to complex inter-related phenomena in contacts of different friction pairs. The main purpose of this study is an investigation with ANSYS software code to test the behavior of a disk under the same static and geometry profile for a solid conveyor disc brake during continuous braking. This paper examines the behavior of disk material braking efficiency under thermal and imposed heat condition. Finite element method (FEM) were used to perform the analysis on four materials of brake disc. The study will focus on different performances on heat flow, the distribution of temperature and disk damage via deformation. Comparison of the results achieved with those of the technical literature and simulation, have been found satisfactory.
