Design of Disc Brake Rotor

  Prof. Mit Patel,  Mansi Raval,  Jenish Patel

Consideration for optimization of technical aspects in automobile is very important and necessary as there are large numbers of vehicles running on road today, so that part or product will be durable, safe and affordable to the users. The brakes are very important aspects of a vehicle as it fulfils all the stopping functions and requirements. As brakes have to undergo through continuous use, many issues surround their heating characteristics when it comes to their development, including contact region properties, material choice, development of hot spots, associated physical geometry, and deformations. The main purpose of this study is to analysis the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the brake disc during the braking phase. The coupled thermal-structural analysis is used to determine the deformation and the Von Mises stress established in the disc to enhance performance of the rotor disc. A comparison between analytical and results obtained from FEA is done and all the values obtained from the analysis are less than their allowable values. Hence best suitable design, will be suggested based on the performance, strength and rigidity criteria.
