Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate the disc brake performance by comparing two different types of materials like Ti6Al4V (An alloy of Titanium, Aluminium, and Vanadium) and convectional grey cast iron. The comparison of disc brake material is done on the basis of thermal and structural analysis, using Ansys simulation software which will help in the computational dynamics of disk brake in terms of Total heat Flux, Temperature variation, deformation and Stress. The heat-dissipating property reduces brake fade, which is the phenomenon where braking performance is influenced by the heat that’s why Thermal analysis is being carried out to dissipate the heat efficiently and hence increase the life span of the disk brake. From the simulation results, the change in geometry affects the thermal properties significantly. By performing Topology Optimization in disc brake and by comparing between conventional grey cast iron with Ti-6Al-4V materials in disc brake.
