    ABSTRACT

    Safety aspect in automotive engineering has been considered as a number one

    priority in development of new vehicle. Each single system has been studied anddeveloped in order to meet safety requirement. Instead of having air bag, good

    suspension systems, good handling and safe cornering, there is one most critical system

    in the vehicle which is brake systems.

    Without brake system in the vehicle will put a passenger in un safe position. Therefore,

    it is a must for all vehicles to have proper brake system. Due to critical system in thevehicle, many of researchers have conducted a study on brake system and its entire

    component. In this project, the author has conducted a study on ventilated and normaldisc brake rotor of normal passenger vehicle with full load of capacity. The study is

    more likely concern of heat and temperature distribution on disc brake rotor.

    Steady state and transient response has been conducted through the heat transfer analysiswhere to predict the worse case scenario and temperature behaviors of disc brake rotor.

    In this study, finite element analysis approached has been conducted in order to

    identify the temperature distributions and behaviors of disc brake rotor in steady stateand transient responses. Ansysis has been used as finite elements software to perform

    the thermal analysis on both responses. Both results have been compared for better

    justification. Thus, both results provide better understanding on the thermal

    characteristic of disc brake rotor and assist the automotive industry in developingoptimum and effective disc brake rotor.

    1. INTRODUCTION

    1.1. Introduction

    Brakes are most important safety parts in the vehicles. Generally all of the vehicleshave their own safety devices to stop their car. Brakes function to slow and stop the

    rotation of the wheel. To stop the wheel, braking pads are forced mechanically against

    the rotorldisc on both surfaces. They are compulsory for all of the modern vehicles and

    the safe operation of vehicles. In short, brakes transform the kinetic energy of the carinto heat energy, thus slowing its speed.

    Brakes have been retuned and improved ever since their invention. The increases intravelling speeds as well as the growing weights of cars have made these improvements

    essential. The faster a car goes and the heavier it is, the harder it is to stop. An effective

    braking system is needed to accomplish this task with challenging term where materialneed to be lighter than before and performance of the brakes must be improved. Today's

    cars often use a combination of disc brakes and drum brakes. For normal sedan car,

    normally disc brakes are located on the front two wheels and drum brakes on the backtwo wheels. Clearly shows that, together with the steering components and tyres

    represent the most important accident avoidance systems present on a motor vehicle

    which must reliably operate under various conditions. However, the effectiveness of

    braking system depends on the design itself and also the right selection of material.systems than follow with some improvements. In order to understand the behaviors of

    braking system, there are three functions that must be complied for all the time (Smith,2002);

    a) The braking system must be decelerate a vehicle in a controlled and repeatablefashion and when appropriate cause the vehicle to stop.

    b) The braking should permit the vehicle to maintain a constant speed when traveling

    downhill.c) The braking system must hold the vehicle stationary when on the flat or on a

    gradient.

    Nowadays, there are lot of software has been developed in order to cater the

    modeling and the finite element analysis on the vehicle component such as (Automatic

    Dynamic of Mechanical Systems), CATIA, ANSYS. There is an advantage of using that

    powerful computational analysis software where by using those would make it easier,less cost better accuracy and less computing time. Most of the software is used in the

    wide range of industries such as automotive, oil and gas, aerospace, marine, heavy duty

    engineering ,construction, electro-mechanical and general mechanical industries. In thisproject, design package CATIA and finite element package will be used to generate

    model and run analysis on the chosen component.

    2.STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

    If looking on the overall automotive parts, besides engines, there are more crucial

    parts that engineers need to look into consideration. Suspension, brake, electrical,hydraulic and gear are all the crucial systems in the automotive areas. Each of all system

    has their own functionality which brings life to the automation industries. Brakes is such

    a crucial system in stopping the vehicle on all moving stages including braking duringhigh speed, sharp cornering, traffic jam and downhill. All of those braking moments

    give a different value of temperature distribution and thermal stress. Good performance

    of disc brake rotor comes from good material with better mechanical and thermal

    properties. Good designs of disc brake rotor are varying across the range of the vehicles.There are different design and performance of disc brake rotor if compared between

    passenger, commercial and heavy duty vehicle. There are also other constraints such ascost, weight, manufacturing capability, robustness and reliability, packaging,maintenance and servicing.

    For example, heavy duty vehicle need large size of disc brake rotor if compared topassenger vehicle. Due to that, it will increased total weight of vehicle as well as fuel

    consumption and reduces performances of the vehicle. Moreover, high weight of vehicle

    induces to high temperature increased during braking where the higher value oftemperature during braking could lead to braking failure and cracking of disc brake

    rotor.

    This project concerns of the temperature distribution and constraint of the discbrake rotor. Most of the passenger cars today have disc brake rotors that are made of

    grey cast iron (Mackin, 2002). Grey cast iron is chosen for its relatively high thermal

    conductivity, high thermal diffusivity and low cost (Mackin, 2002). In this project, theauthor will investigate on the thermal issues of normal passenger vehicle disc brake

    rotor, where the investigation are to determine the temperature behaviour of the disc

    brake rotor due to severe braking of the disc brake rotor by using Finite ElementAnalysis (FEA).

    According to (Valvano and Lee, 2000), braking performance of a vehicle can be

    significantly affected by the temperature rise in the brake components. High temperature

    during braking will caused to:

    Brake fade, Premature wear, Brake fluid vaporization, Bearing failure, Thermal cracks,

    Thermally-excited vibration.

    Therefore, it is important to study and predict the temperature rise of a given brake

    component and assess its thermal performance in the early design stage. Finite element

    analysis (FEA) has been preferred and chosen method to investigate some of the above

    11

  • 8/13/2019 Thermal Analysis of Vented and Normal Disc Brake Rotors-doc

    12/68

    concerns such as disc brake rotor temperature rise and thermal cracks (Valvano and Lee,

    3.OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE

    The aim at the end of this project is to predict the temperature rise and the

    temperature behaviour of ventilated disc brake rotor with full passenger in the vehicle.In

    achieving this aim, project objectives are set as below:

    4.RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    Begin with a literature review, alot of paper and journal has been read up and a part of ithas been considered in this project. Meanwhile, Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)

    has been used to measure the major coordinate of real disc brake rotor. CMM has beenused in order to get accurate dimension of disc brake rotor. Later, the precise dimensions

    have been used to translate in 2D and 3D drawing by using CATIA.

    In the second stage, load analysis has been done where the heat flux and convectional

    heat transfer coefficients has been calculated. Load analysis calculated basedon full load of passenger in the normal passenger vehicle. Later, value of load analysis

    has been applied on finite element analysis.

    Next, the fractional 3D model of disc brake rotor has been transfer to finite element

    software which is ANSYS. Thermal analysis has been done on steady state and transient

    responses. Assigning material properties, load and meshing of the model has been donein this stages. Then, completed meshing model has been submitted for analysis. Finally

    6.LITERATURE REVIEW

    6.1 Introduction

    Normally, thermal stress analysis has been performed to any of material related to

    thermal process in order to oversee the behaviour and character of material. Anyabnormality regards to thermal input will give the high values on the stress magnitude of

    the studied materials.

    The high values of stress magnitude will shows deformation on

    certain areas which load has been applied on it. Design and analysis of certain parts orcomponent will took much time and it is costly. Therefore, without any analysis or

    design tools, it would be limitations on repeated analysis. For decades, finite element

    analysis (FEA) has been a preferred method to address some of the above concerns. Itcan be used to compare the design alternatives and hence, optimize the brake rotor

    design prior to production of prototype components (Valvano and Lee, 2000).

    A literature review was conducted to investigate the past research that has been done inmany areas related to this work. In addition, description, histories, functions and theory

    of disc brake rotor will be discussed in this chapter. Furthermore, theory of finite

    element method related to thermal analysis will be presented as well in this chapter.

    7.BRAKE SYSTEM REVIEW

    7.1 HISTORY OF BRAKE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT

    In the early days of the automobile, drum brakes were standard. Drum brakes

    offered several advantages over other types of brakes. One of these was that the drum

    could keep out water and dust, materials that could damage disc brakes which were outin the open.

    Major advancement in brake technology came in 191 8 with the invention of fourwheelhydraulic brake systems by Malcolm Loughead. The hydraulic brake system

    replaced the mechanical brake system that was in use at this time. The mechanicalsystem had numerous disadvantages. It made it difficult to brake all the wheels evenly,often causing a loss of control. In addition, it required drivers to exert tremendous

    amounts of force on the brake pedal to slow the car. The hydraulic brake system

    multiplied the force that was applied to the brake, lessening the amount of force needed

    to be applied to the brake pedal by the driver.

    This system was first used in the 1918 Duesenberg. Its advantages quickly caught on

    and by 1929, four wheel hydraulic braking systems were standard equipment on higher

    priced cars. The main problem with drum brakes is that the heat is not efficiently

    disbursed. The heat that is produced inside the drum does not escape easily since the

    drum prevents wind from drawing it away. However, disc brakes killed the issues whenit allowed the heat to be carried away which increased the efficiency of the brake.

    However, their use was limited up until the 1950's since their efficiency was notrequired and they required more pedal pressure to operate. The reason for the higher

    pedal pressure is that disc brakes have no self-servo effect or no self-energizing capacity

    that the drum brakes have.

    The self-servo effect is caused by the forward motion of the car. This forward motion

    helps pull the brake shoe into contact with the drum. This helped lower the required

    pedal pressure. Now that their efficiency was needed and the hydraulic brake systemmultiplied the force applied to the brake pedal, disc brakes seemed to be the better

    alternative. Chrysler was the first to widely introduce the disc brake in its cars in theearly 1950's. The system did not have much success till automaker Studebaker toreintroduce the system in 1964. This time it saw much more success and in a few years,

    disc brakes were common on most new cars. One of the reasons that disc brakes were a

    success with the Studebaker and not theChrysler was due to the development of the power braking system. Power brakes

    became

    16

  • 8/13/2019 Thermal Analysis of Vented and Normal Disc Brake Rotors-doc

    17/68

    common in the 195Ots, after Chrysler had developed and dropped its disc brake

    program.The system assisted the movement of the piston in the master cylinder which meant that

    the driver needed to apply less peddle pressure to get the same braking effectiveness.

    Therefore, since ease of braking was no longer an issue, the adoption of the more

    efficientdisc brake became widespread

    17

    18/68

    8. VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEMAs we know, the basic functions of the brake system are to slow down a vehiclespeed to the point we need. It's also help to maintain acceleration during moving

    downhill and keep the vehicle on static conditions. Brakes operate by converting the

    kinetic energy (motion) of an automobile into heat energy(Source: Halderman J.D, 1996)

    Driver exerts a force on brake pedal which is further amplified by power booster.The force on brake pedal pressurizes brake fluid in a master cylinder; brake fluid is

    designed for extreme conditions, generally a silicone based DOT5 brake fluid is

    recommended. The hydraulic force developed by brake fluid is transmitted to a wheelcylinder or calliper at each wheel which is used to force friction material against thedrum or rotor. The friction between the friction material and rotating drum or rotor

    causes the rotating part to slow and eventually stop.

    In the passenger or commercial vehicle, there are always two main types of brakes

    assemblies that have been used. Those types of brakes are drum and disc brakes whichhave been described as below.

    Drum brakes have their pads located inside of a drum.Like the disc in disc brakes, drum brakes also are attached to the wheels. Usually, main

    components of drum brake for passenger or commercial vehicle consist of brake shoes,backing plate, parking brake cable and wheel cylinder. When the brake pedal is pressedthe curved brake shoes (pads) are pushed outward so that they make contact with the

    rotating drum. Retracting spring is used in this type of brake (BOSCH, 1996). Just as

    with disc brakes, this causes friction which turns kinetic energy into heat energy, thus

    slowing and stopping the car to the right point. There is an advantage of using drumbrakes, where there is low cost of common parts. However, there are also some

    disadvantages, such as the drum heats up and expands away from the lining material

    which increasing fading. It is also have lower efficiency in wet braking action.

    When the brake pedal is pushed, the pads (often called brake shoes) push up against thewheel disc. The wheel that attached with the rotor will affected by force from pads and

    makes the wheel stop rotate. Those for both of disc and drum brakes are refer to

    mechanical, hydraulic and power brake systems in order to make the brake systemsfunction smoothly. According to many researchers, disc brake system has many

    advantages over drum brakes. The major part of rotor is exposed to air; therefore there is

    sufficient air flow over brakes to dissipate the heat generated resulting in cooling down

    of

    18

  • 8/13/2019 Thermal Analysis of Vented and Normal Disc Brake Rotors-doc

    19/68

    rotor temperature easily. The rotor expands in the direction of the friction material in

    discbrakes as opposed to drum brakes. The pressure applied on the rotor is more uniform

    resulting in even braking action as compared with drum brakes. It is also possible on wet

    stopping when water slide off the rotor surface.WHEEL

    9. Parts of disc brake

    9.1 DISC CALLIPERS

    There are two types of disc callipers where further classified as floating and fixed

    calliper. shows a type of floating calliper. This type of brake uses only a single piston tosqueeze the brake pad against the rotor (BOSCH, 1996). The reactive force shifts the

    calliper housing and presses opposite side of braking pad against rotor. Referring to

    Figure the brake fluid pushes the piston when the brake is applied to the left of thepiston and immediately pushes the inner pads and presses it against the rotorldisc, the

    sliding calliper housing reacts by shifting towards right pushing the left pad against the

    disc.

    Floating Calliper Design

    (Source: BOSCH Automobile Handbook, 1996)Other type of disc callipers is a fixed calliper. shows a type of fixedcalliper. In these types of brakes, the caliper body is fixed and uses two or more pistons

    on each side of the rotor. The pistons are located in each half section of the fixed

    calliper.

    Hydraulic pressure is applied during braking to each of the piston. Each of the pistons

    has a function to press against the brake pads of the brake disc. Shaped piston seals willretract the piston when the brakes are released. Referring t, the brake fluid pushes the

    both piston when the brake is applied to the left and the right of the piston and

    immediately pushes the both inner pads and presses it against the rotorldisc. Normally,

    these types of brake calliper are used in high performance and heavy duty vehicle due tohigh physical strength.

    21/68

    9.2BRAKE PADS

    As shown in Figure brake pads consist of steel carrier which the pad arebonded to the steel carrier. According to (Gerschler, 1980), organically bonded pads

    consist of metallic, ceramic or organic friction materials in a bonded mass such asrubber or synthetic resin. The bonded friction materials can withstand temperatures up to

    750c, with short term peaks-up to 950'~ where the friction coefficient is between 0.25

    and 0.5.

    There is an advantage of brake pads, where most of them are poor to thermal

    conductivity which protects the hydraulic actuating elements from overheating. It is alsoease to manufacture and low cost. However, the pads needs to inspect frequently due to

    rapid wear as result from higher temperatures and contact pressures associated with theoperation of abrake disc.

    9.3 BRAKE DISC / DISC BRAKE ROTOR

    The heat generated on the surfaces of disc brake rotor when brake

    applied. Materials of disc brake rotor usually are made from cast iron, spheroidal-

    graphite cast iron or cast steel. It is chosen as a rotor material due to low cost of materialand performs high thermal resistance. This type of material normally suit to normal

    passenger vehicle but not for high performance car. Once brake pads contacts to rotating

    rotor, there will be huge amount of heat generated to stop or slow down the vehicle. Therotor temperature can exceed 350'~ for normal cars and 1500'~ for race cars (Halderman,

    1996).

    Disc brake rotor is a crucial part in the brake system where the main role of the rotor isto reduce the heat generated by dissipates all of the heat. In that case, ventilated disc

    brake rotor is much better than solid rotor where more airflow from the surrounding area

    to dissipate produced heat. Figure 2.9, shows the internal vanes allow air to circulatebetween two friction surfaces of the rotors

    9.3.1. DISC BRAKE ROTOR DESCRIPTION

    Overall idea on vehicle brake system and disc brake theories has been described asabove. As similar to the type disc brake described above, the author used the disc brake

    rotor from normal passenger vehicle. The disc brake rotor was taken from normal

    passenger vehicle which having type of ventilated disc (Figure 2.1 0). Basically, discbrake rotor consists of rotating circular plate and cylinder disc (hat) attached and rotated

    to wheel hub.

    The rotating circular plate which also call annular disc has two flat surfaces separated

    by 32 internal vanes. Figure 2.1 1 shows the cross sectional view of ventilated disc brake

    rotor with outer diameter measured as 250 mm, 4.5 mm thickness of plate and havingmass approximately 4 kg

    9.4. BRAKE PADS

    As shown in Figure 2.7, brake pads consist of steel carrier which the pad are

    bonded to the steel carrier. According to (Gerschler, 1980), organically bonded pads

    consist of metallic, ceramic or organic friction materials in a bonded mass such asrubber or synthetic resin. The bonded friction materials can withstand temperatures up to

    750c, with short term peaks-up to 950'~ where the friction coefficient is between 0.25

    and 0.5.

    There is an advantage of brake pads, where most of them are poor to thermal

    conductivity which protects the hydraulic actuating elements from overheating. It is alsoease to

    manufacture and low cost. However, the pads needs to inspect frequently due to rapid

    wear as result from higher temperatures and contact pressures associated with the

    operation of a brake disc.

    11.CATIAV511.1 INTRODUCTION

    CATIA V5 provides the power of parametric design. With parametric, we define the

    modal according to the size and positional relationship of its parts.

    11.2PARTMODELLINGMany techinacal designs consists of complex assemblies made from angular shaped

    parts. This type of design work can be made asier by part and assembly modeling

    capabilities that are well integrated. The CATIA V5 is a 3-D parametric solid modeler

    with both part and assembly modeling capabilities. You can see the CATIA V5 to model

    piece parts and then combine them into more complex assemblies. With CATIA V5 a

    part is designed by sketching its components shapes and defining their size shape and

    inter relationships. By succesfuly creating these features you counstruct the part in a

    building block fashion. Since CATIA V5 has parametric features, you can change one

    feature and all related features are automatically updated to reflectthe change and its

    effects throughout the part. It can be used to create angular shaped part, to which 3Dsurface can be applied to create hybrid parts consisting of mixture of angular and curved

    shapes. This provides the ability to create model designs with shapes of varying types.

    11.3 GENERAL MODELING PROCESS FOR EACH PART

    Plan the part

    Create the base feature

    Create the remaining features

    Analyze the part

    Modify the features as necessary

    25

  • 8/13/2019 Thermal Analysis of Vented and Normal Disc Brake Rotors-doc

    26/68

    Assembly modeling

    Assemblies can be created from parts, either combined individually or grouped in

    subassemblies. The CATIA V5 builds these individualparts and subassemblies into anassembly in a hierachica manner according to relationships defined cy constrains. As in

    part modeling , the parametric relationship allows you to quickly update an entire

    assembly based on a change in one of its parts.

    The general process for assemblies and subassemblies is similar to that of building parts:

    Lay out the assembly

    Create the base part

    Create and attach the remaining parts

    Analyze the assembly

    Modify the assembly as necessary

    11.4 FUNDAMENTALS

    CATIA V5 employs two operating modes for part modeling, model made formodeling 3Dparametric parts and drawing mode for creating 2D drawings of them.

    These modes operate independently but share the same design data. Part modeling

    requires beginning the design work in model mode where a model of the part is

    immediately built. Then the drawing mode can be used at any point to document the

    design. In traditional CUMPUTER AIDED DESIGN, a 2D drawing is created at the

    beginning and then 3D model is built to analyze, and verify the initial concept.

    12. FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

    12.1 INTRODUCTION

    The finite element method is numerical analysis technique for obtaining approximate

    solutions to a wide variety of engineering problems. Because of its diversity andflexibility as an analysis tool, it is receiving much attention in almost every industry. In

    more and more engineering situations today, we find that it is necessary to obtain

    approximate solutions to problem rather than exact closed form solution.

    It is not possible to obtain analytical mathematical solutions for many engineering

    problems. An analytical solutions is a mathematical expression that gives the values of

    the desired unknown quantity at any location in the body, as consequence it is valid forinfinite number of location in the body. For problems involving complex materialproperties and boundary conditions, the engineer resorts to numerical methods that

    provide approximate, but acceptable solutions.

    The finite element method has become a powerful tool for the numerical solutionsof a wide range of engineering problems. It has been developed simultaneously with the

    increasing use of the high- speed electronic digital computers and with the growing

    emphasis on numerical methods for engineering analysis. This method started as ageneralization of the structural idea to some problems of elastic continuum problem,

    started in terms of different equations

    .

    12.2 PROCEDURE FOR ANSYS ANALYSIS

    Static analysis is used to determine the displacements stresses, stains and forces in

    structures or components due to loads that do not induce significant inertia and damping

    effects. Steady loading in response conditions are assumed. The kinds of loading thatcan be applied in a static analysis include externally applied forces and pressures, steady

    state inertial forces such as gravity or rotational velocity imposed (non-zero)

    displacements, temperatures (for thermal strain).

    A static analysis can be either linear or non linear. In our present work weconsider linear static analysis.

    The procedure for static analysis consists of these main steps Building the model

    Obtaining the solution Reviewing the results.

    12.3 BUILD THE MODEL

    In this step we specify the job name and analysis title use PREP7 to define the elementtypes, element real constants, material properties and model geometry element type both

    linear and non- linear structural elements are allowed. The ANSYS elements library

    contains over 80 different element types. A unique number and prefix identify each

    element type.

    E.g. BEAM 94, PLAN 71, SOLID 96 and PIPE 16E

    12.4 MATERIAL PROPERTIES

    Young.s modulus (EX) must be defined for a static analysis. If we plan to apply inertia

    loads (such as gravity) we define mass properties such as density (DENS). Similarly ifwe plan to apply thermal loads (temperatures) we define coefficient of thermal

    expansion

    28

  • 8/13/2019 Thermal Analysis of Vented and Normal Disc Brake Rotors-doc

    29/68

    12.5 SOLUTION

    In this step we define the analysis type and options, apply loads and initiate the finite

    element solution. This involves three phases:

    Pre-processor phaseSolution phasePost-processor phase

    Pre-processor:

    Pre processor has been developed so that the same program is available on micro, mini,

    super-mini and mainframe computer system. This slows easy transfer of models onesystem to other.

    The following Table 3.1 shows the brief description of steps followed in each phase:

    30/68

    13. FINITE ELEMENT GENERATION:

    The maximum amount of time in a finite element analysis is spent on generating

    elements and nodal data. Pre processor allows the user to generate nodes and elementsautomatically at the same time allowing control over size and number of elements. There

    are various types of elements that can be mapped or generated on various geometric

    entities.

    The elements developed by various automatic element generation capabilities of

    pre processor can be checked element characteristics that may need to be verified beforethe finite element analysis for connectivity, distortion-index etc.

    Generally, automatic mesh generating capabilities of pre processor are used ratherthan defining the nodes individually. If required nodes can be defined easily by defining

    the allocations or by translating the existing nodes. Also on one can plot, delete, or

    search nodes.

    13.1 BOUNDARY CONDITIONS AND LOADING:

    After completion of the finite element model it has to constrain and load has to be

    applied to the model. User can define constraints and loads in various ways. Allconstraints and loads are assigned set ID. This helps the user to keep track of load cases.

    13.2 MODEL DISPLAY:

    During the construction and verification stages of the model it may be necessary to view

    it from different angles. It is useful to rotate the model with respect to the global systemand view it from different angles. Pre processor offers this capabilities. By windowing

    feature pre processor allows the user to enlarge a specific area of the model for clarity

    and details. Pre processor also provides features like smoothness, scaling, regions, active

    set, etc for efficient model viewing and editing.

    13.3 MATERIAL DEFECTIONS:

    All elements are defined by nodes, which have only their location defined. In the case of

    plate and shell elements there is no indication of thickness. This thickness can be given

    as element property. Property tables for a particular property set 1-D have to be input.Different types of elements have different properties for e.g.

    Beams: Cross sectional area, moment of inertia etc

    30

  • 8/13/2019 Thermal Analysis of Vented and Normal Disc Brake Rotors-doc

    31/68

    Shell: Thickness

    Springs: StiffnessSolids: None

    The user also needs to define material properties of the elements. For linear static

    analysis, modules of elasticity and Poisson.s ratio need to be provided. For heat transfer,coefficient of thermal expansion, densities etc. are required. They can be given to the

    elements by the material property set to 1-D.

    13.4 SOLUTION:

    The solution phase deals with the solution of the problem according to the problem

    definitions. All the tedious work of formulating and assembling of matrices are done by

    the computer and finally displacements are stress values are given as output. Some of

    the capabilities of the ANSYS are linear static analysis, non linear static analysis,transient dynamic analysis, etc.

    13.5 POST- PROCESSOR:

    It is a powerful user- friendly post- processing program using interactive colour

    graphics.It has extensive plotting features for displaying the results obtained from the finite

    element analysis. One picture of the analysis results (i.e. the results in a visual form) can

    often reveal in seconds what would take an engineer hour to assess from a numericaloutput, say in tabular form. The engineer may also see the important aspects of the

    results that could be easily missed in a stack of numerical data.

    Employing state of art image enhancement techniques, facilities viewing of:

    Contours of stresses, displacements, temperatures etc.Deform geometric plotsAnimated deformed shapes

    Time-history plots

    Solid sectioning

    Hidden line plotLight source shaded plotBoundary line plot etc.

    The entire range of post processing options of different types of analysis can be

    accessed through the command/menu mode there by giving the user added flexibility

    and convenience.

    With the boundary conditions and initial condition*

    n n 2 q = q o n (3.4)0 T = T a t t i m e = 0 (3.5)

    Where , c , r k and z k are the density, specific heat ant thermal conductivities in rand z direction of the material, respectively. Also ,T* is the prescribed temperature, h

    the heat transfer coefficient,*n q the heat flux at each contact interface due to friction, T

    the ambient temperature, 0 T the initial temperature and 0 , 1 and 2 are theboundaries on which temperature, convection and heat flux are imposed, respectively.

    Using Galerkin.s approach, a finite element formulation of unsteady heat Eq.

    (3.1) can be written in the following matrix form as

    C T T + K H T T =R (3.6)

    Where T C is the capacity matrix, T KH is the conductivity matrix. T and Rand are the nodal temperature and heat source vector, respectively.

    The most commonly used method for solving Eq. (3.6) is the direct integration

    method based on the assumption that temperature t T at time t and temperature t t T + at

    time t + t have the following relation:

    ( ) . .t t t 1 t t T + T T T + t= + +

    15 THERMAL ANALYSIS

    A thermal analysis calculates the temperature distribution and related thermalquantities in brake disk. Typical thermal quantities are:

    1. The temperature distribution

    2. The amount of heat lost or gained3. Thermal fluxes

    15.1 Types of thermal analysis:

    1. A steady state thermal analysis determines the temperature

    distribution and other thermal quantities under steady state loadingconditions. A steady state loading condition is a situation where

    heat storage effects varying over a period of time can be ignored.

    2. A transient thermal analysis determines the temperature distributionand other thermal quantities under conditions that varying over a

    period of time.

    15.2 PLANNING THE ANALYSIS:

    In this step a compromise between the computer time and accuracy of the analysis ismade. The various parameters set in analysis are given below:

    Structural analysis is the most common application of the finite element analysis. Theterm structural implies civil engineering structure such as bridge and building, but also

    naval, aeronautical and mechanical structure such as ship hulls, aircraft bodies and

    machine housing as well as mechanical components such as piston, machine parts andtools.

    16.1 Types of structural analysis:

    The seven types of structural analyses in ANSYS. One can perform the following typesof structural analysis. Each of these analysis types are discussed as follows:

    17. STRUCTURAL STATIC ANALYSIS:

    A static analysis calculates the effects of steady loading conditions on a structure,while ignoring inertia and damping effects such as those caused by time varying loads.

    static analysis can, however include steady inertia loads (such as gravity and rotationalvelocity), and time varying loads that can be approximated as static equivalent loads

    (such as static equivalent wind and seismic loads).

    18. MODELING AND ANALYSIS

    It is very difficult to exactly model the brake disk, in which there are stillresearches are going on to find out transient thermo elastic behavior of disk brake

    during braking applications. There is always a need of some assumptions to

    model any complex geometry. These assumptions are made, keeping in mind thedifficulties involved in the theoretical calculation and the importance of the

    parameters that are taken and those which are ignored. In modeling we always

    ignore the things that are of less importance and have little impact on theanalysis. The assumptions are always made depending upon the details and

    accuracy required in modeling.

    The assumptions which are made while modeling the process are given below:-

    1. The disk material is considered as homogeneous and isotropic.2. The domain is considered as axis-symmetric.

    3. Inertia and body force effects are negligible during the analysis.

    4. The disk is stress free before the application of brake.5. Brakes are applied on the entire four wheels.

    6. The analysis is based on pure thermal loading and vibration and

    thus only stress level due to the above said is done. The analysisdoes not determine the life of the disk brake.

    7. Only ambient air-cooling is taken into account and no forced

    Convection is taken.8. The kinetic energy of the vehicle is lost through the brake disks i.e.

    no heat loss between the tyre and the road surface and deceleration

    is uniform.

    9. The disk brake model used is of solid type and not ventilated one.10. The thermal conductivity of the material used for the analysis is

    uniform throughout.11. The specific heat of the material used is constant throughout and

    does not change with temperature.

    DEFINITION OF PROBLEM DOMAIN

    Due to the application of brakes on the car disk brake rotor, heat generation takes place

    due to friction and this thermal flux has to be conducted and dispersed across the disk

    rotor cross section. The condition of braking is very much severe and thus the thermal

    analysis has to be carried out. The thermal loading as well as structure is axis-

    symmetric. Hence axis-symmetric analysis can be performed, but in this study we

    performed 3-D analysis, which is an exact representation for this thermal analysis.

    nodes with single degree of freedom, temperature, at each node. The 20-node elementshave compatible temperature shape and are well suited to model curved boundaries. The

    20-node thermal element is applicable to a 3-D, steady state or transient thermal

    analysis. If the model containing this element is also to be analyzed structurally, the

    element should be replaced by the equivalent structural element (Solid 95).

    In thermal and structural analysis of disk brake, we have to apply thermal and boundary

    conditions on 3D disk model of disk brake.

    22.1 THERMAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

    As shown in Fig. a model presents a three dimensional solid disk squeezed by two finite-

    width friction material called pads. The entire surface, S, of the disk has three different

    regions including S1 and S2. On S1 heat flux is specified due to the frictional heating

    between the pads and disk, and S2 is defined for the convection boundary. The rest of

    the region, except S1 U S2, is either temperature specified or assumed to be insulated:

    the inner and outer rim area of disk.

    27. CONCLUSIONS

    The present study can provide a useful design tool and improve the brake performance

    of disk brake system. From the below Table we can say that all the values obtained from

    the analysis are less than their allowable values. Hence the brake disk design is safe

    based on the strength and rigidity criteria. Comparing the different results obtained from

    analysis. It is concluded that ventilated type disk brake is the best possible for the

    present application.
