Abstract

The purpose of this project was to design and fabricate an optimized disc brake rotor for UTeM personal electric vehicle. There are several properties of the disc brake rotor must be consider to make sure that the product that will produce have a quality from all aspects which are low noise level, life cycle cost, pollution rates, energy consumption, material consumption, provide safety and reliability, and high serviceability. There are three differences of disc brake rotor was design that represent two type of ventilated disc brake rotor and one for solid disc brake and all this design was evaluated to chose the best and suitable for this personal electric vehicle. All the design was conducted by using CATIA software (V5R16). The selected disc brake rotor was analyzed in terms finite element analysis (FEA). For this FEA, the thermal analysis was conducted to analyze this brake system by applying the different material for disc brake system like Gray Cast Iron Grade 220, Titanium Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5, and Stainless Steel Grade 420. From the result, the best material is Gray Cast Iron Grade 220 that produces the low thermal analysis compare with others material and it will be selected for this project. This analysis was run by using ABAQUS software version 6.9.
