Finite Element Analysis of Disc Brake using Ansys 16.0 with Three Different Material

Composite materials are gaining importance because of their advantages including low cost, ease, and simplicity of operation. Composites containing hard oxides (like SiC) are preferred for high wear resistance along with increased hardness, improved corrosion resistance and high-temperature oxidation resistance as compared to alloy and pure metal. Composite coating is used for the purpose of wear resistance. In automotive field, lot of studies are going on to conventional materials for disc brake. So, to optimize the required working operation Grey Cast iron, AISI 1020 and Aluminium6061 are to be used in my work. The motive of my study is to analyse the performance of disc brake for different materials (Grey Cast iron, AISI 1020 and Aluminium6061) under same working parameters. FEA simulation is performed and the material behaviour on displacement, stress, contact pressure, contact status is obtained using software ANSYS 16.0 and finally a good comparison is performed. Performance parameters of disc brake for different materials (Grey Cast iron, AISI 1020 and Aluminium6061) under same working conditions have also been compared. These are the parameters which are used for comparison - stress distribution, strain distribution, heat flux, elastic stress, elastic strain, shear stress and strain. The obtained result will be beneficial for further use in this field. This work will help persons working in the field of steady state thermal analysis of piston.
