Abstract

This study is to investigate the heat distribution on disc brake within the braking system for Formula Varsity race car and do a comparison between theoretical and simulation result of the disc brake rotor. The temperature changes on the disc brake during the deceleration providing the heat distribution. The distribution of temperature depends on the various factors such as material used, design, surface roughness of disc brake and others. The execution of the analysis is done by using ABAQUS software where it shows area that has been affected by braking heat flux. This method is functional with the usage of coefficient heat transfer to calculate the thermal capacity of the disc brake rotor. The result for all rotors are accepted to be use on Formula Varsity race car where Yamaha LC135 rotor is 555.20°C, Yamaha RXZ 135 rotor is 360°C, Honda Wave 125 rotor is 394.41°C and Modenas GT128 rotor is 384.66°C but Yamaha RXZ 135 rotor is suitable to be implemented on Formula Varsity race car.
