Abstract
A thermally balanced brake disc stack provides brake discs of greater mass at the center of the stack and of lesser mass at the opposite ends of the stack. The temperature of the high mass discs in the center of the stack will rise to a lower level than the thinner discs at the ends of the stack. However, the heat dissipation rate at the ends of the stack exceeds that at the center of such that all of the discs cool to a predetermined temperature concurrently.
