THERMAL ANALYSIS OF DISC ROTOR

The road vehicle braking has become broad and complicated field over years. The braking of commercial vehicle is more complicated and conversion of kinetic energy into heat is immense as it subjected to heavy loads as compared to cars, two wheelers and passenger cars. The purpose of study is to analyze forces and bulk temperature rise analytically for steady state heat dissipation. The temperature rise for different materials is calculated analytically and numerical simulation using ANSYS for constant braking rate of 0.5. The results are compared for different materials. The study is carried out on simple ventilated disc brake
