Abstract
In today's world with fast-growing mobility, everything is becoming compact day by day with ever-increasing technological advances. This paper deals with the design of a disc brake rotor considering the requirement of a student formula team.
In this paper, the different iterative design has been done to achieve the maximum heat flux distribution and at the same time maintain the structural rigidity of the rotor so that it can withstand the torque requirement of an SAE vehicle [3]
Solid works was used for design modelling while Ansys and Hypermesh were used to perform the CAE Analysis for the brake rotor. Here, we will explain various design iterations and how design can be optimized with extensive use of CAE tools by performing structural and thermal analysis. The analytical results from the CAE simulation will help us to determine the slots or holes pattern on the rotor face as well as the selection of material for the rotor. The numerical calculation is calculated to find required forces and torque based on inputs from vehicle dynamics.
The objective of this paper is to design, optimize and fabricate a disc brake.
