Steady State Thermal Analysis of a Disc Brake Rotor with Composite Material

Abstract

In this work the study of Steady State thermal analysis on a disc brake rotor used in automobile by using composite material and comparing it with the Grey cast iron . In order to improve the breaking efficiency the heat dissipation is an important factor to be considered. Here steady state thermal analysis is done on the disc brake rotor by applying the temperature of 80 0 C on the front face of the model and applying the convection load on the inner faces of the model for a time of one second from 22 0 C to 80 0 C .The model and analysis of the disk brake is done by using ANSYS Work bench 14.0 Software .The Temperature contour plot, Total Heat Flux and Directional Heat Flux is obtained and compared for the different materials .
