Abstract:

The aim of this paper was to investigate the temperature fields and also structural fields of the solid disc brake during short and emergency braking with four different materials. The distribution of the temperature depends on the various factors such as friction, surface roughness and speed. The effect of the angular velocity and the contact pressure induces the temperature rise of disc brake. The finite element simulation for two-dimensional model was preferred due to the heat flux ratio constantly distributed in circumferential direction. We will take down the value of temperature, friction contact power, nodal displacement and deformation for different pressure condition using analysis software with four materials namely cast iron, cast steel, aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced plastic. Presently the Disc brakes are made up of cast iron and cast steel. With the value at the hand, we can determine the best suitable material for the brake drum with higher life span. The detailed drawings of all parts are to be furnished
