4. Conclusions
- 1.
- In the time domain simulation analysis of gear walk, there is a “negative slope” phenomenon between the C/SiC brake disc friction coefficient and the wheel speed. The friction coefficient changes greatly when the temperature is below 600 °C. This phenomenon has a great effect on the gear walk characteristics and the control effect of the slip rate PID brake control law. The friction coefficient of the C/C disc has little change, and the variable friction characteristic is stable. Attention should be paid to the effect of the friction characteristics of the brake disc on the accuracy of simulation results;
- 2.
- The variable friction characteristics of C/SiC are easily affected by ambient temperature. The occurrence time of the “negative slope” phenomenon will be affected by different ambient temperatures. The change of ambient temperature has a great influence on the displacement and load of gear walk;
- 3.
- A C/SiC brake disc can solve the defect of a C/C brake disc’s low friction coefficient to a certain extent, which requires less brake pressure to be provided by the hydraulic system in the braking process and saves on energy consumption. However, the problem of large braking torque fluctuation caused by the “negative slope” phenomenon will also exacerbate gear walk and affect the braking efficiency of aircraft.
