RESEARCH PAPER ON MODELING AND SIMULATION OF DISC BRAKE TO ANALYSE TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION USING FEA

Braking is a process which converts kinetic energy of vehicle into mechanical energy which must be dissipated in form of heat. Without brake system in the vehicle will put a passenger in the unsafe position. Brakes convert friction to heat, but if the brakes get too hot, they will cease to work because they cannot dissipate enough heat. The objective of the current study is to investigate and analyse the temperature distribution of rotor disc and to identify critical temperature during operation using FEA analysis. Static thermal analysis have been carried out on the disc rotor to evaluate and compare their performance and the temperature distribution was analyzed considering cooling parameters (convection and radiation).Comparative study is carried out between different materials i.e. AMMC, Asbestos, and GCI etc. The results obtained by finite element simulation and good material have been suggested.
