Comparative Analysis of Sandwiched Disc Brake Rotor

In an automobile, a braking system is the combination of various linkages and components (brake lines or mechanical linkages, brake disc or brake drum, master cylinder or fulcrums etc.) that are arranged in such a manner that it converts the vehicle’s kinetic energy into the heat energy which in turn de-accelerate or stops the vehicle. The conversion of kinetic (moving) energy into heat energy (temperature) is a function of friction generated by the frictional contact surfaces between brake shoes (pads) and moving disc or drum of a braking system. In our project we have done the Thermal and Structural analysis on disc rotor and make the comparison between homogeneous (Grey cast iron rotor) and sandwiched (Grey cast iron with aluminum alloy rotor) and find out the best results out of them, modelling is done on solid works and finite element analysis is done on Ansys 19.2, We have calculated stress, temperature distribution total deformation and make a comparative study.
