Abstract

The paper describes the design and finite element analysis of carbon fiber-epoxy resin brake rotor. The design and finite element analysis is performed by using computer aided design (CAD) software. The objective is to design and analyze the thermal and structural stress distribution of brake rotor at the real time condition during braking process. The optimization is carried out to reduce the stress concentration and weight of the brake rotor which keeps the unsprung mass low thereby increasing the stability of the vehicle. With using computer aided design (CAD), SOLIDWORKS software the structural model of brake rotor is developed. Furthermore, the finite element analysis performed with using the software SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION AND ANSYS.
