Abstract

The braking system is a process that converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle in the mechanical energy that must be dissipated in the atmosphere in the form of heat. In general, a brake disk in cast iron or ceramic composites is connected to the wheel and/or of the axle. The friction materials in the form of brake pads are forced, so mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic electromagnetically against both sides of the disk to stop the wheel. The present analysis transitional thermal "and the structural analysis of disk brake" deals with the production of heat in the different materials of disk brake with different vehicle speeds and heat dissipation by these materials and also the deformation and the stresses produced in these materials due to the increase in temperature is analyzed. A comparative study is made between these materials to suggest the best material for the brake disk to the aspect of the problem considered. Modeling of the disk brake has done with the help of PROE WILDFIRE 3.0 and the complete analysis is made using ANSYS 15.0.
