Abstract
The study comprises a comparative thermo-structural coupled analysis of a perimetric type brake rotor with different materials and cut pattern. The steady state temperature of the rotor will be affected by material and cut patterns, which would further affect the deformation and stresses induced in the disc due to the loads. On the perimetric rotor designs, static structural and thermal stress analyses were performed in ANSYS to analyze and compare the stress and deformation pattern of the rotors under extreme loads. In the derivation of the heat equations and force calculations on the brake rotor, parameters such as mass, velocity, and tire dimension of vehicle have been taken into account, and CAD models are prepared in SolidWorks. There is also an attempt to recommend the ideal combination of material and cut pattern for disc brake rotors that result in low temperature variation across the rotor, less deformation, and minimal von-mises stress.
