Abstract

The goal is to create and assess the distribution of thermal and structural stress in a brake rotor under real-time brakingconditions. A transient thermo-elastic analysis of the Rotor Disc of the Disk 17 10 Brake intends to measure theeffectiveness of a bike's disc brake rotor when subjected to intense braking scenarios, thus aiding in the design andevaluation of disc rotors. In this study, efforts have been made to identify an appropriate hybrid composite material thatweighs less than cast iron while exhibiting desirable properties such as thermal strain, yield strength, and density. Theoptimization process is conducted to minimize stress concentration and the rotor's weight, which helps maintain lowunsprung mass and enhances the vehicle's stability. Using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) with Catia v5 software, astructural model of the brake rotor has been created. Additionally, finite element analysis has been carried out usingANSYS 14.5 software. Aluminium Silicon carbide demonstrates favorable friction and wear characteristics for the Diskbrake 17 10 rotor. The transient thermo-elastic analysis of disc brakes under cyclic braking applications has beenconducted, and the findings were analyzed for comparison.
