Comparative analysis of Disc brake rotors using FEA

Abstract

One of the most critical systems in an automobile is the braking system. During braking the K.E and P.E of a moving vehicle is converted to thermal energy in the form of frictional heat in the brake disc and pads, this heat needs to be effectively transferred to ensure safe operation. The object of this study is to investigate the temperature variation and thermal flux distribution over a brake disc rotor during heavy braking (100 to 0 kph) using FEA. The disc brake is modelled using CATIA and analysis is done using ANSYS workbench. Thermal analysis of Models of four different types of brake rotors is done in the study and results are compared. The rotor types used are: A. Plane rotor B. Drilled rotor C. Slotted rotor D. Ventilated rotor.
