Abstract

Every moving object requires a braking device to slow them down in order to avoid from the collision. For cars, the disc brake system is used to reduce their speed as a vehicle moving from a place to another destination. Repetitive braking of the vehicle may cause heat generation throughout each braking event. Factors that can affect includes temperature distributions at brake rotor disc includes speed. material properties, the coefficient of friction and brake load. The main purpose of this research is to study the the1mal behavior of ventilated disc rotor to assist engineers to improve the design of rotor and reducing brake fade. In the present work, the CA TIA V5 software is used to construct a 3-dimensional model disc brake model that consist of pad friction material and brake rotor. The Altair fmite element software is used to conduct the coupled thennal-structural analysis to illustrate the temperature distribution and Von Misses stress occurrence towards the ventilated disc rotor subjected to the thermal loading condition set-up. A comparison between rotational speed and brake pressure simulation studies show the effect of the temperature distribution is directly influence by the parameters setting.
