- Abstract
Design of braking system is an important phase in the development of an automobile. During braking, disc brakes accumulate heat energy and high thermal gradients which leads to reduced functionality. This heat has to be dissipated for efficient functioning of brakes. In this paper, a novel design for brake is developed using Solid Works tool. This model aims at maximum dissipation of heat by increasing surface area. A thermal flux analysis of the new model is done to confirm this achievement. A comparative study of other designs of ventilated discs and a plane rotor disc is also done. The calculation and verification of braking force is followed in designing the disc rotor. The main objective is to generate more braking force so as to maximize efficiency. The analyses are done in ANSYS to study and understand the heat flux and temperature that are formed in the disc rotor.
