Abstract

As we know, the braking system is important part in a vehicle. The braking system function is to slow down and slowly stop the vehicle. In this Final Year Project, the braking system was applied in Formula Varsity Car. The disc brake rotor of this Formula Varsity is design and creating by using SolidWork. This research project consists of thermal stress analysis on Formula Varsity Car disc brake rotor by using Finite Element Analysis (ANSYS). The analysis consists of steady-state and transient analysis to determine the temperature distribution on the disc brake rotor. Thermal analysis is also performed by calculating the heat transfer coefficient on the disc brake rotor based on the obtained results. The value of heat transfer coefficient has been used in steady-state and transient analysis. The findings of this research are to improve the brake performance in Formula Varsity Car and analyzed the stress distribution on the disc rotor during operation. This project also was conduct to see whether the design of disc brake rotor will overcome the failure or not. The results shows the temperature of disc brake rotor is increasing when the brake is applied and it slowly cool down when the brake pad is released. The material that has been used for this research can withstand the heat generated and high stress during the braking process.
