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

concerns such as disc brake rotor temperature rise and thermal cracks (Valvano and Lee,
3.OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE

be studied on the various areas such as material improvement on the disc brake rotor,vibration on the disc brake, noise and squeal of the disc brake and thermal stress analysis
on the disc brake rotor. However, on this project, the author will intend to emphasize

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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:

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.

The unsteady heat conduction equation of each body for an axis-Symmetric
problem described in the cylindrical coordinate system is given as follows:1r z
T T T

With the boundary conditions and initial condition*
0 T = T o n (3.2)1 ( - ) n q h T T o n = (3.3)*
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:
Thermal modeling Analysis type . thermal h-method.

16. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
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:
Static analysis
Modal analysis Harmonic analysis
Transient dynamic analysis Spectrum analysis Buckling analysis Explicit dynamic analysis

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.
A
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.

According to given specifications the element type chosen is solid 90.Solid 90 is higher
order version of the 3-D eight node thermal element (Solid 70). The element has 20
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

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.

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.
