C. Baron Saiz et alii, Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale, 34 (2015) 608-621; DOI: 10.3221/IGF-ESIS.34.67 618 Figure 13 : Von Mises stress maps at the 14 th braking on straight (left), pillar-shaped (centre) and curved-vanes (right) disc. It can be also observed that the effect of pads is restricted to a small area, substantially the same as S pad , and it runs out quickly (fig. 13) along the circumference of the braking surface. Moreover, high stress values can be found around the hubs, most likely due to the considerable temperature gradients between the outer and inner parts of the rotors and the
