Heat flux of a wheel break

Hey guys,
I am working on a project for university, and we want to do a research on how much heat is produced by breaking a bike in 6 seconds.
For this purpose we want to simulate a rotary motion. At the beging we have a velocity of v0. The breaking acceleration remains constant. Now we have the problem, that we don't know which Physics to use for this study.
Attached is a function of the angle and the anglevelocity depending on time.
The breaking pad is now producing heat through friction, which is converted in thermal energy.
It will be pleasant, if we could rotate the pad in the simulation.
I would be more than happy if I get any helps.
