Abstract

The structural analysis of a disc brake using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) plays a crucial role in understanding its mechanical behavior and performance characteristics under varying operating conditions. This study focuses on employing FEA techniques to simulate and analyze the structural integrity of a typical disc brake rotor subjected to thermal and mechanical loading. The objectives include assessing stress distribution, deformation patterns, and thermal gradients within the disc brake rotor. Key aspects of the analysis involve modeling the disc brake rotor geometry, applying realistic boundary conditions including thermal loads induced by braking, and predicting stress concentrations and deformation patterns using FEA software. Material properties such as thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and mechanical properties are incorporated into the simulation to ensure accuracy.The findings from this study aim to provide valuable insights into the performance and reliability of disc brake systems, aiding in the optimization of design parameters to enhance durability and efficiency. This abstract outlines the methodology and scope of the structural analysis, underscoring its significance in advancing the understanding of disc brake behavior through computational simulations.
