STRUCTURE & THERMAL ANALYSIS OF DISK PLATE FOR TWO WHEELER AUTOMOTIVE FRONT DISK BRAKE

A   Disc   brake is   a   device   that retards/halts the rotation of a shaft/ wheel. A disc brake   system   consists   of   a   brake   disc,   a   brake caliper and brake pad.  When the brake pedal is applied, pressurized hydraulic fluid squeezes the brake pad friction material against the surface of the rotating   brake   disc.   The   result   of   this   contact produces  friction  which  enables  the  vehicle  to  slow down  or  stop. Due  to  this friction,  heat  will  be generated and  the  brake  disc  gets  heated  up which affects the  performance  of  the  disc  brake under different braking conditions. In this paper focus is primarily emphasized on the comparative performance of disc brakes having different profiles, by determining the von-misses stress, deformation developed & Maxi heat dissipation in the brake disc for different braking conditions using ANSYS14.5.

In this work Gray Cast Iron & Structure Steel disc brake material use for calculating von-misses stress & deformation. The standard disc brakes two wheelers model using in Ansys and done the Modal analysis & calculate the Stress, deformation & Maxi heat dissipation. This is important to understand Stress, Deformation & Heat dissipation on the disc plate, how disc brake works more efficiently, which can help to Increase life of the disk plate & to find best profile structure of the disk plate.
