Abstract
The disc brake is a device for slowing or stopping the rotation of a wheel. Repetitive braking of the
vehicle leads to heat generation during each braking event. Thermal and Structural Analysis of the Rotor
Disc of Disk Brake is aimed at evaluating the performance of disc brake rotor of a car under severe
braking conditions and there by assist in disc rotor design and analysis. Disc brake model is created in
CATIA v5 and analysis is done using ANSYS workbench 16.2. The main purpose of this study is to analysis
the thermo mechanical behavior of the dry contact of the brake disc during the braking phase. The
coupled thermal-structural analysis is used to determine the deformation and the Von Misses stress
established in the disc for the both solid and ventilated disc with two different materials to enhance
performance of the rotor disc. A comparison between all materials taken is tabulated and according to
that results best suitable design, material and rotor disc is suggested based on the performance,
strength and rigidity criteria.
