Paper Details

There is lot of up gradation in the automobile technology these days. Competition on the speed ofvehicles is the prime factor in deciding the best vehicle at the same time keeping the safety norms in our mind. Apart ofhaving best vehicle dynamics, great suspension frameworks, best engine specifications, there is one most basic system inthe vehicle which is braking mechanisms. Main problem dealing with disc brakes is the heat generated due to the brakingforces and friction forces thus design and material used which are best suited to dissipate most of the heat thusincreasing the life span of the disc brakes.This paper deals with design and thermal analysis through ANSYS workbench analysis of a two wheeler disc platecomparing the final temperature and total heat flux dissipated. The design has been taken from real world. Dimensionsof Bajaj discover has been taken and edited in solid works. Materials like aluminium alloy, cast iron or stainless steelhas been selected for analysis to compare to compare with different designs at two different speeds of the vehicle. Afterall the analysis the data has been tabulated and a result is found out to concluding the best material with a design alsocomparing the percentage increase in the final temperature and total heat flux dissipated.
